I'm playing this too and I get what you're saying.

The game isn't fun, it's unpleasant. It evokes only negative emotions.

Much like Rebellion's AVP from '99, which was utterly gruelling. It was the most perfect Aliens simulator to date, and hasn't been surpassed since.

This, well, this plays like an Alien simulator. It doesn't give you balanced gameplay, or clear enemy AI patterns to defeat, it's more random and unpredictable. As it should be. And constantly making you feel like you're completely fucked. I hate it, makes me feel like shit. Which is precisely what the game is designed to do, I think.
