Extraordinarily difficult, merciless, with (simple) tech trees and a perk system that leaves little to no room for error - and it is magnificent. Hardcore in the original, controller throwing sense of the word - but as rewarding as it is cruel. It tweaks my buttons in all the right ways. To get the most out of it, you should absolutely play with different character profiles, and explore different tech and perks as you level up - some just won't work, some will make things considerably easy. And remember to grind for scrap (the game's currency) - it's easy enough to get, just by playing the game. The random levels are a great touch that adds essentially infinite replayability.
