I also played to the end of Stockyard Escape, and despite some initial struggles with the controls, I really enjoyed myself. It's so exciting every time I come across something new!
The attention to detail is really good, and I love how some of the new transitions worked. Visually it's better than I was expecting, to be honest. I'm glad I avoided any media relating to the PS version, so this is all totally new to me. From the start of Monsaic lines I'm so ready to see the rest.
I had a few issues with Line of Sight during a puzzle during Stockyard Escape, where you can lure the slig over using the alarm (rather than rolling away like in AO) to possess him and kill his 2 friends. He kept getting killed, just because I approached the other sligs at the slightly wrong speed. I ended up having to just inch onto the screen until I could get the perfect shot. It felt really awkward.
Also props to whoever decided to keep slog-hopping in. I was worried the bastards were going to kill me on the way over, but I managed to leg it past one in the Stockyards, even if it made the next puzzle a bit messier.
