So I started my first playthrough on Easy, and while I really enjoyed the game, finishing it was an absolute slog. I never had enough ammo, I felt like I was missing a lot of abilities toward the end, and every large Typhon took multiple attempts to take down.

My second playthrough on medium went much better. I have almost every human ability maxed now (aside from Psi abilities), I have metric shittons of resources, and the Nightmare dies in like 6 shotgun blasts with Combat Focus on.

Estimated year of release: I'm almost certain this would have to have been released between 1995 and 2000. Anything past that I'm sure
