EVERY game feels less challenging these days, and it’s frankly disappointing.
I don’t think it’s simply that I have more gaming experience either - I think it’s that studios are trying to maximize engagement by making games easy enough for everyone and their dog to complete.
It’s become so rare that I really appreciate when a game (most indie or FromSoftware titles) actually presents itself as a challenge to overcome rather than “cutscenes between fetch quests”.
