I dont know if I will ever beat this I even had a thought in my head that a pacifist run might be possible but I highly doubt that now. My heart sank in the first boss area when I realized the crazy gun pigs don't die in one shot which very quickly ended my run that lasted about an hour. It can get pretty demoralizing to die after so long and thrown back to the start. But it is a really fun and challenging game that rewards extremely patient yet bold gameplay (unless the bag you risked your life for had nothing in it) lol
