Time Pressure and Stealth Balance in Solo Play

I feel like the time pressure in missions takes away from the tactical and stealth-focused gameplay. Especially towards the end, when there is suddenly a wave defense and all enemies immediately know your position, it feels very different from the slow and careful approach the game initially encourages.

In my opinion, stealth and infiltration mechanics don’t get enough room to shine because of this. The sudden shift into a fast-paced combat scenario can feel frustrating, particularly for players who prefer a more methodical playstyle.

I have been looking forward to this game for a long time and I really want to love it. Right now, I’m worried that these aspects might end up ruining the experience for me.

Would it be possible to make the mission timer optional, or provide a mode with less time pressure? Personally, I prefer playing alone in a more relaxed way, but at the moment the game doesn’t feel very well balanced for solo players who want to take their time.
