Agree on "bad FPS" part...

...but game is not FPS for me. In any aspect.

Well, maybe, if set "shooter difficulty" level somewhere at the top, and "puzzle" aspect somewhere at bottom - maybe then, I say, it will be shooter.

But on default, "normal" shooting difficulty it's just perfect for me. Monsters are really dangerous - but they are rare and far between. Except zombies. But noone fears zombies, right?

I had already tried to play it a long time ago but I got frustrated in the second level. This time the same thing happened, so I've started a new game at low difficulty to see if I can enjoy the story.
Strange. I am not a shooter. Almost at all. I have bad reaction, and with game "no-free-sight" control it's even harder for me - but I never had any issues in this game. Shooter-related, I mean. In extreme cases you always can kill anyone with pistol - dying and resurrecting several times in row. But mostly it's paid to search everything, got this extra-cool energy weapons and kill them all in more expensive but easier way.
