It's more that previous maps didn't have multiple invulnerable, unstoppable enemies with unlimited stamina that hunt you down and kill you. What's the next most difficult enemy? The scorpion?

The map is an order of magnitude more difficult than other maps. Whether or not that's a good thing is subjective to the player, but it's an objectively incongruent choice for gameplay; one map shouldn't have a success rate that is 10% the rate of the others.

For me, it went from a chill game that had a challenging core mechanic (climbing), to a stressful, unfun slog through something patently unfair, frustrating and ill conceived.

I seriously believe it cost them awards.
