Feel free to solve in videos/streams.
Rules:
- Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and box.
- Fog-of-War: The grid is covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from surrounding cells.
- Sandwich Sums: Clues outside the grid show the sum of the digits between 1 and 9 in that row or column.
- X: Digits in cells separated by X sum to 10.
- Arrows: Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in the arrow's circle.
- Killer Cages: Digits in a cage may not repeat and must sum to the number in the corner of one of its cells.

I rated this 2/5 difficulty.
Great FoW puzzle, I really enjoyed the solve!
The break-in (the sandwich phase until I placed the first several digits) was quite approachable, and felt sort of around 2/5 difficulty. It was very cool how the sandwich clues had just enough information to allow me (the solver) to place some digits to reveal new clues, while not having so much information as to completely break apart the puzzle/trivialize the rest of the puzzle. It led to a very nice solve path that was well-thought-out.
The rest of the puzzle was similarly paced/difficult, and felt on the slightly harder side of 2* difficult. None of the steps were too hard, but there were two times during my solve where I overlooked some classic sudoku eliminations - which definitely impacted my total solve time. Each of the steps were definitely fair, and I don't think any part was hard enough to warrant a 3* difficulty rating, so I think this phase was a harder 2*.
This is what led me to mmy overall 2* rating, although it was probably in the medium-hard range for 2*, which is reflected by my fairly long solve time (31 minutes), which, for me, is typical for a harder 2* to easier 3* puzzle.
Overall, the puzzle was very nice and made very good use of the fog. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this puzzle. I was stuck for a good long while in the middle but managed to solve it! Took me around an hour, but well worth it.
