I've done that chapter 3 times now. Once while being the right level, once while being overleveled and once while being underleveled. Not one of those playthroughs made me appreciate the level.
At no point did I experience the senses that they were thematically trying to convey, because you either breeze through it or sluggishly cheese through it seeing as the mechanics are simply broken. The chapter simply ends up feeling insanely mundane and overstays it welcome pretty much five-fold.
The only part I did actually enjoy was being underleveled and needing to run away from the daemon. That had that Nemesis kind of mechanic going on, which did actually work. But that was only a very small part of it all.
The annoying part is that no matter what kind of run you do, you end up needing to spend 1 upto several hours in that chapter alone. It's ironic that the game revolving around brotherhood, roadtrip with your bro's and what not, ends up having its longest chapter being a solo corridor run with bad mechanics.
