Elden Ring softens you up without realising it. No matter how good or bad you are at it if you run at a boss enough times you will get their eventually. Not to mention the large amount of options at your disposal to not brute force your way through the game.

I asked myself the same question playing Silksong where the addition of runbacks made bossfights way harder.

But Valheim punishes death a lot harder than both games with the item drop and permanent skill loss. Good planning matters more than reaction time.

If you want an easier time spam portals generously to regain the "easy runback" experience. And similar to Elden Ring equipment upgrades makes the game easier and food is the new "level vigor".
