I think you are just confused... that tutorial, that frustration because of how complex you perceive the game to be... that's the game.
If you don't like to learn how to work at the array... then don't play it... Not as a 'get out, noob!' but, as a real suggestion, whatever you heard about the game... maybe you imagined something else. In that case, this may not be your kind of game.
After completing the story mode this is what I'd say to new players: Let it be your first priority to get inside the bunker right in front of the window of the signal processing room. There, search for some important instructions and follow them.
