A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO of the Road section, done in minimalist colors and designs.

A road crosses the screen from left to right, open dumpsters in the foreground along a chain link fence. An elevated train platform can be seen behind the road, as well as an elevated highway, lined with street lights.

Created a puzzle matrix for Desolus to figure out what combinations of mechanics I'm missing in the game.

10x10 has a lot of potential puzzle combinations!

doing easy and doing it well is def the way to go, but ironically doing easy is actually quite hard (ignoring your instincts for complex depth) - and it also runs the risk of be boring!

I would sub this for most Iron Man action scenes. Bucky Barnes is imo one of the most uninteresting and forgettable characters in the MCU - hard pass.
