Yes, exactly, for me a tactical game is well balanced if there is a trade-off between each decision. There are far too many things in PP that go far beyond the target. Defending things like this harms the quality of the game in the long run. Just my opinion …
Edit: It’s not just about this one perk. Alone, this perk is just a drop in a whole puddle of water.
Just had this. The problem is that the activation tile is actually to the side of the highlighted tile. (So if you try stepping on all the adjacent tiles to the highlighted one you will see that the activation prompt appears). F12ed.
(tbh, I think it has always been like this and i just didn’t pay any attention to it)
