Difficulty Levels?

[acetiff12]

I recently started playing Horizon: Zero Dawn because it was interesting to watch my husband play it. However, I noticed his struggle with boss fights and that a single hit from enemies often took out a large chunk of his HP.

I was reluctant to try it at first because it looked hard. But then I found out I could choose from a selection of difficulty levels. I picked the easiest and started having fun.

That made me notice that when it comes to combat-heavy games, I'm always grateful for the option to pick the easiest game mode.

What difficulty level do you usually play games on? Do you like that it's an option?

It absolutely depends on genre. For most Japanese-style RPGs (Final Fantasy, SMT, etc.) I will play on normal mode. For anything action, I want easy at the most. For something with a shootybang element, I want the easiest it will give me and ideally a story-only mode. I generally don't turn it up beyond that (SMT in particular it's a pride thing to play on Normal but I don't hate myself and my free time enough to try Hard).
