i think the only thing thatll satisfy people is a difficulty slider like 9 sols has, where you can adjust the dmg you take to nothing and adjust the dmg you deal to oneshot.

at which point, like, why even bother...just watch a playthrough. even with that feature, people complained that there was a single achievement that required beating the game with unmodified difficulty.

if the games too hard, you can just mod it i guess.

I think I got stuck where most people that get stuck do. Moorwing. But I also was stuck on 3 combat rooms (opposite moorwing, 4th mask frag, past the red barbarian mini boss) and stuck past a locked door that i bought a key for.

I modded it. With 1 mask damage limit, and 1.5-2x damage output makes it feel like a normal difficulty setting.

I’d rather they add an easy mode than globally nerf the difficulty
