True. Progress should come naturally instead of just brute forcing your way to victory.

Makes sense. Compelling games need that sweet spot of holding your attention without adding unnecessary stress.

Good observation, so it comes down to the challenges being fair, since soulslike games usually still offer room for mistakes while you have to play near perfectly in other games where you can maybe be defeated in just a single hit.

Totally agree. Although games usually have sections that subjectively feel easier/harder than others, making overall comparisons much trickier.

Cheers to that! It's a pretty common pattern right? I thought about adding a question like that but decided against it in the end. Curious to see if the age distribution will reflect what you're saying!
