According to this review https://youtu.be/f8bdlagJsZA it is easier, the puzzle are logical and even though you can die in the game you are warned that your actions might kill you.

That sounds great!

The only thing really deterring me from retro-adventures is the "dead-man-walking" issues some of them have.
