I was enjoying the game until the third tutorial. A boss named Linda appears with her glorious 32 data point health *at the start* of a run, when you haven't even gotten a chance to bootstrap your build (or your board). You could get lucky with some rare OP upgrades at the start, but at this point it would be debatable whether it's you who's playing the game or the game playing you. For a generic run, most data sources at this stage are worth 2 points with a minority worth 3 (with no express tiles in sight). *Even if you're extremely extremely lucky with your draws and play recklessly with the sole purpose of defeating the boss*, you'd need 32/(3+3+3) => 4 turns (excluding the firewall) to defeat the boss. Even if you get this far, the corruption will start spawning at this point and will kill you. Sadly, it feels like the developers have fallen into the trap of balancing the game from a 20,000ft view using telemetry data instead of applying simple reasoning and maths.

Good game
