Axiom Verge is amazing. I can understand digging into that. You essentially bought Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country 2 on the same day, so that's not an easy choice to make. On the other hand there is no wrong one.
Here's hoping when you dig back into Tropical Freeze it captures your interest the way it did mine. Oh, and as for difficulty curves, I am willing to allow some hiccups if the game's design is otherwise great in that regard. There are situations where other design concerns outweigh a difficulty curve. Super Metroid's last boss was a lot easier than that underwater boss and Ridley for that matter, but the way it was done made it more memorable.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
