I would like to recommend the game but I have some grievances with a particular issue: The sound design.

My biggest issue with this is that large, robust flesh hulk enemies make almost no noise when they approach, and can spawn out of nowhere quite frequently especially on high difficulties, making them impossible to anticipate. The giant walker robots and the teleporting poison enemies, and the tripod walkers, they have no or terrible sound cues to let you know when they're nearby, making singleplayer extremely frustrating and random.

I mean, just read the phrase "Teleporting, explosive poison-inflicting enemy with no audible sound cues" and tell me it sounds like a fun experience.
