idk I play games on easy

In darkest dungeon the rng Is what makes it so difficult, especially when it comes to turn order
If the boss attacks 4 times in a row Its over regardless of team composition or strength

your intelligence or lack thereof

A game can only be forever difficult if it has aspects outside of the players control that can't be manipulated. Otherwise, the difficulty is subjective.

DD is not hard, unfavorable RNG doesn't make a game hard. If you prepare well you can get through missions without too much difficulty.

Information and Execution.
When you don't know what you're doing, everything is challenge.
And if you can't push buttons when the games asks you to, you'll never beat it.

time investment
we live in the era of easy rewards whit no long-term rewards

The RNG means that sometimes you are just fucked no matter what prep work you did

name 5 "hard" games where the difficulty isn't just that, from any era
