- Unless there's a physical obstruction in your way, you generally don't have to kill the enemies that show up before you progress. If a fight is getting annoying, you can probably drop a flare and sprint on past.
- Once the mid-game comes around, the game tones down the endless boring woods in favor of slightly more interesting setpieces. If you're wondering whether the entire game is this dull, you should know that it picks up... somewhat.
