At first the loop also made me feel like I had to hurry a lot. But the more I played the more I found calm in it. You can get to anywhere pretty quickly, and you find plenty of shortcuts if you look for them. And what you don’t have time for in this loop, you have time for in the next. Slow down, enjoy the journey.
For me it was when I was in another planet, doing some kind of progress, and then boom. When I spent most of my time just getting to, and landing on, the planet, just to get “blipped” again 5 minutes into solving a puzzle, was frustrating.
And, to me, it seemed like it happened at random. Trying to stay with the “playing blind” idea, I didn’t look into the actual timing of the booms. It was a constant dread when I was doing something, thinking it may pop at any time.
Once I got my head around the autopilot and the landing camera, the game became much easier. There are definitely still a few things I think I cheesed in unintended ways though.

Runs fine on the Steam Deck, just sayin’. 😁
I also went into the game blind, but the anxiety inducing loop I did not enjoy at all. I may give it another try some day.

Oh man, for me it was so much more chill than anxiety producing. Is, since now I’m tackling the DLC.
