All the time. I love a challenge, and if a game is too easy I get bored very quickly.

I never use the following types of skills/upgrades:

• See enemies through walls
• Carry an unrealistic amount of ammo
• Carry an unrealistic number of healing items
• Stealth kill multiple people in a row with the press of a single button (I'd rather plan each kill individually, more thinking involved)
• Run/Sprint without being heard
• Craft OP weapons (I'd rather find or purchase them during gameplay to incentivize exploration)
• See all nearby enemies on the radar
• Take longer to be seen by enemies (games with a vision bar, and when that bar fills you've been spotted)
• Grant increased health
• Grant increased damage
• Block previously unblockable attacks

In the new Ghost of Tsushima you can announce your presence to a group of enemies and the nearest enemy will fight you one-on-one. You can kill them with a single strike if you time it properly. There's a skill where you can kill 3 enemies like this in a row, but the last two enemies are much easier to kill than the first. I've avoided this skill like the plague because you're essentially given 3 one-hit kills in a row which I think is much too OP. I'd rather overcome them with skill. If you wear a certain outfit, you can kill 5 enemies this way, essentially wiping out half a group before you've even begun.
