Yup. I don't like easy modes at all, but they're not for me. If I can't die horribly in the tutorial, what are we even doing here?

Da Wei: gives step by step instructions only for players to ignore them and get stuck (reading is hard).

Also Da Wei: designs a fast, strong and tough endgame boss only for some psycho to hit-stun her, yeet her around the arena, kill her by fall damage and post it on Bilibili for the lolz.

Finally good content.

So. I'm on the side of more difficulty sliders please, but it's not just to get more people in the door. I want to be able to make games more difficult when I can too. I generally play on the hardest difficulty first, then lower it until I'm having fun.

But there are games where making it easier cannot work, to my knowledge. A good example, I think, is Post Void, which is VERY inaccessible in a lot of ways (epilepsy warning, if you look up the game, even with the accessibility setting on, it's still bad). The visuals need accessibility options to be improved, but the gameplay really can't be made more accessible without severely harming the gameplay. At best you could add more starting time to the flask. I rolled hard off this game due to chronic illness, but I loved it. But I also hated it for similar reasons. Some games are just niche, and frankly, there's enough games out there that you don't have to play all of them.

Game being hard means the struggle of the character can be conveyed to the player.

Dude be rocking that Sexto Rodriguez look hard.

I really don't feel like copying that name on my phone. What game does the 3rd one make?

Also, I'm playing Stellar Blade, and I'm not sure I'd ever get through it without Easy mode.

It's not listed here, but it reminds me of Silksong. I bought it day one, watched as forum members all started getting a head of me... Then beat it. And im still in act one after all this time.

I love it. I'm glad the game is hard with no difficulty options.
