I’m going to give you the unpopular answer: it’s not going to get better. I almost beat this game, and really enjoyed a lot of it, but without spoiling there will come a point where you have to do a lot of things in a specific and high stakes order across multiple planets. I tried it a bunch of times and found it so frustrating to have to redo it over and over again that I eventually just threw in the towel and moved on.
It sounds like you’re enjoying it even less than I did, so I would guess this point in the game I’m alluding to will frustrate you even more as well.
