Alone in the Dark: Ran into some issues with solving a few of the early puzzles on Disc 2, but things become more about surviving lots of enemies towards the final half of that disc than anything else. As for backtracking elements, those are mostly gone in the second half, as a lot of areas coming down to follow a mostly linear path from point A to B while trying to not get killed. Most enemies do a fair amount of damage to your HP.

When it was too tight to get around, the flame thrower type weapon was the go-to option for clearing the way. I just had to be aware of the gas canister usage, an item that recovers the weapon's ammo, since it would use the entire canister regardless of how much or little it recovered. So, be careful not to reload the weapon in the inventory too soon. [I made that mistake once, when ammo was at 89%, burning through a whole canister only for 11%, ouch!]

Disc 2 only had one boss, naturally the final boss. It's a weird battle though, damaging it was inconsistent. Sometimes, firing right at the boss would cause ammo to go right through it, and other times, damage was actually registered. I probably used twice the ammo necessary on the encounter, plowing through large amounts of rocket launcher ammo. Needless to say, I had enough, while burning through a whole stack of first aid kits to stay alive.

I might play through the game as the secondary main character as well.
