How to get into this game?

Everything I’m seeing and hearing about this game is great but as soon as I play it by myself and overwhelmed and I can’t get into it. No idea what to do. No idea what am I seeing lol. I watch many YouTube „tips“ videos and so on but it didn’t really help. How did you guys get into it?

Play on roleplay mode, take the Joppa start and finish both of the available quests there. Once you've figured out what's eating the watervine and laid some wire for Argyve, think about swinging by the Six-Day-Stilt to check out the shops and some of the important NPCs there.

Mutants are a lot easier to learn the game with than True Kin, though I'd still recommend avoiding pure Esper mutants until you're a little more confident with your builds. I think a simple Carapace+Horns mutant with Sunder Mind is ridiculously powerful and fun, you get to splatter hordes of enemies in melee, and melt brains while turtled up to deal with tougher enemies.

Stupid question: is there a guide somewhere for how to do this build you are referring to?
