Been playing on survival difficulty and made it part way into chapter 11 so far. I think I must be around 15 to 17 hours in my playthrough time. Partly from being in a scavenger / resource hoarder mode to where I'm going slow to scour for items, attempting stealth kills, or just plain old repeated deaths.
I have enjoyed the game so far although some sections either frustrated me a bit or kicked my butt. Although like Dark Souls it felt good when I finally got the pattern down or beat the monster. lol
Chapter 6:
I can see why people liked chapters 9 and 10. The setting was nice and finally getting some story elements laid out helped.

Chapter 10:
Getting ready play some more and hopefully finish up chapter 11. Heard 12 is short so might knock that one out tonight also before bed.

Chapter 6:
I can understand how people would dislike this boss. Pretty much kept hiding in bushes making it hard to place shots unless it decided to spaz out and graze you. It was not until I decided to pull out my sniper rifle since it was my strongest gun at this point that I beat him. Discovered if you place yourself far enough away you can snipe him in the head as he charges out of the bush. Plus it caused him to collapse in front of me so I could nail him with my shotgun.

Chapter 9:
The concept of Ruvik stalking you did change up the gameplay while you were in the mansion exploring. They also did provide beds / cupboards a player can hide in to get away from him. My problem came from having to contend with that while Haunted could be in the room or a bomb on the wall I ran to. I pretty much saved my game every time I made progress and cleared out enemies.
Chapter 10:
This one was probably the roughest out of all the chapters because your having to contend with the traps, harpoon giants, Laura, and giant boss. The letterboxing made her chase sequence harder since I couldn't tell as easily when she was lined up under a flame jet so I had to guess a bit. Seeing an arm come off helped let me know that I was close to finally killing her and appreciated her donation to my green goo fund when I did. lol
As for the boss I was not sure what to do at first until I kept hiding to take pot shots at his eye with either the sniper rifle or shotgun to stun him. Pretty kept doing that it got to the second stage and cheesed him. The one thing I am curious about is if hiding out in one of the rooms is safe once he is in his second phase to just plug away at his weak point. Seemed to me he was in a berserk charging state so I wondered if he would still grab and throw you out of a room at that point.
