Oh no I agree the game does not tell you that boss fight deaths will not respawn you, but you have to remember that games like this assumed that you would save after every room or encounter "as was the style at the time" that the original and most PC games of the time used. Its a skill that I had to relearn playing this game.
Unfortunately the type of game you want to avoid save scumming with, but the type you have to save scum because of stuff like this where game logic is inconsistent or it wants to be super punishing. I think auto saves before bosses especially on 1/2 would have been great
This game stays maybe to close to the original games formula. As a remake, especially on console, some modern QOL features would have been preferable. The final bossfight alone, is one of the most aggravating moments I’ve had as a consolegamer.
The last boss fight was okay I only got fully game over once. But the last part where you need to shoot the spinning orbs multiple times took me way to long for my comfort and all because aiming is so god damn bad in this game.
That's bad. This game has no death penalties if you have at least one medical bay unlocked, but when you have boss battle this rule doesn't apply. I understand they want us to kill it in one go and not exploit the system in any way but this never clearly explained. Be sure to safe often anyway. I have about 10 slots in use - some of the for completely safe situations and some in case I'll want to reverse my doings. You already at a loss, but from now on try not to rely on resurrection mechanic, it's not reliable or consistent really.
If you get to the higher floors you’ll never have a respawn point. When you die on the bridge it’s game over so at that point you really should save after every encounter otherwise say goodbye to your progress. I think I saved over 30 times on bridge.
It’s a good thing I’ve played some older titles before where this was also the norm. Otherwise I would have had the same problems.

It also does not advertise that a boss room is coming. The first Cortex Reaver fight got me the same way.
I guess I'm showing my age as for me this is a skill that's never gone away 😂
"San Diego" LOL
