To me the fact that even after getting through a section it's similarly as hard, is a sign of little to no player progression

To be fair, in AE, some of the puzzles leave essentially zero room for the slightest error - I'm thinking of the secret where you have to trap the scrab behind a barrier, lead the mudokons onto the lift and then free everybody before the meat saws on the next screen kill them (I think that's one of the secrets in the scrab vaults?). I always need to practice a few times to nail the timing of those sorts of puzzles, especially since I play them maybe once every few years.
In the case of NnT though, I find things like saws challenging because succesfully rolling under some of them feels like a fluke which I can't easily replicate - I think it's a combination of there being a slight delay between my action and Abe's animation and the lack of a grid. I liked Nnt, but I always found this a bit tiresome.
