I've defeated Psycho Mantis and completed the first Sniper Wolf boss fight.
This section contained the first serious amount of backtracking in the game. It's still a bit tedious, but not as bad as I remembered. A silver lining of it is that it gives me plenty of time to restock on rations and other items.
The controls are still the main problem with this game. Sometimes when sneaking up on enemies to choke them out, the game alerts the guard without giving you a chance. Also, the aiming controls, especially the first person aiming in the Sniper Wolf boss fight are horrible.
The voice acting and general story telling is pretty great, though. This is as enjoyable to replay as ever.
