The UI with the stats symbols is great and the new enemies are cool. The absorber feels like a mini-boss with its current health. I tried different setup and it always takes 40+ seconds to kill it. I ran a expp setup for a while, it took a while to kill things so I tried removing it because it said "no armor penetration" to later realize it added butloads of damage and losing wave 18. I should have tested the change beforehand.
The rebalancing is palpable and I don't think the strategies I used in my past runs work anymore, specially against the absorber. Everything feels much tankier.
When I tried to start a new run after losing, the game stuck on the kill screen from my previous run and it became unresponsive.
I will play another run later today or on saturday to give other strategies a try.
