• Getting better: Review says this edition has a tighter difficulty curve but still kills you.
• Unlocks and progress: Review says there are two currencies, one for upgrades and one for costumes.
• Tension and danger: Review says you never feel overwhelmed, which keeps the pressure at a regular level.
