I did the variant one several times, and then gave the criterion one a shot. The former was some lighthearted low-stakes fun that I could do after work without any issues. The latter was absolutely brutal; I genuinely thought it was the savage version until someone told me it was the "extreme" tier, lmao. I'll have to try it again over the weekend when I'm not so tired.
I had fun with it. I also feel like I might have completed it already, since I've been through the whole map and seen a ton of different endings. I'm not super stoked to go back in for the rewards, since their price is rapidly deteriorating and none of it appeals to me personally. We'll see, I guess.
