A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

For what it's worth, I haven't found anything in it super difficult and I'm by no means "a good gamer", the "souls"* recovery mechanic is not bad; but if platforming is not for you I guess that's enough to stay away from it,... (I also haven't found it terrible, and I'm prone to mistakes , ha.)
I'm not sure how far along I'm in it, so perhaps I haven't reached the turbo hard stuff yet? maybe it gets insane later... I went blind and know nothing apart from what I've seen. So far it's been an excellent experience, the game checks all the boxes for me.
*there is a different mechanic in the game tied to the term soul but I'm refering to the corpse thing here
Yeah from what I've heard 90% or so of HK is fine, and it's the remaining 10% that's a true ball buster. Though some of it is probably optional if you're fine with skipping "good endings" and whatnot.
I don't know why I can't vibe with platforming, but for me it just doesn't give me any dopamine at all. Which is a problem as an ADHD sufferer. Combine that with me being pretty bad at it and platforming games just lead to me being angry and frustrated.
That makes sense. I do like my trophies and good endings so I'll give it a solid try. But yeah, not everything is for everyone, I'm no stranger to enjoying a game I know I'll never play watching someone else go through it; all fine and dandy in my book.
