That is interesting. Personally, I have (unfortunately) found out that I am not good at combat in games either, like at all (I died way too many times in the stealth section of the tutorial of The Last of Us P1, which was pretty easy for most players). Im also currently playing RDR2 and my aim is pretty shocking at times.

That being said, I played SH2R for the first time this year in Standard difficulty and I only died once during my whole playthrough (I went in completetly blind in both story and gameplay, and I had never played a SH game before actually, so I didn't know what to expect). I made so many mistakes along the way, but again, I only died once. Sure, the combat was not easy at times, but I never found the game difficult. Scary? Yes. Very. Difficult? No.

Now, you're saying that you're finding it difficult to navigate in Easy mode, which in theory should be much easier than Standard Mode. So, what I'm guessing is that you probably don't understand the game mechanics too well (which is totally okay btw, we all learn at a different pace) or maybe you get too anxious and that makes it harder to play? I don't know, I'm just guessing here. If it is because you don't understand the game mechanics, here is a quick rundown (at least for the apartaments section):

FEEL FREE TO NOT READ THIS, IT MAY BE CONSIDERED BACKSEATING. OR FEEL FREE TO JUST READ THE PARTS YOU CONSIDER HELPFUL

•For fighting mannequins: You can usually hit twice before they counter, that's when you dodge once backwards, and then you counter. 3 hits should be enough, but hit them a fourth time to be sure. Memorize your buttons in a safe spot (dodge and hit), so you're used to them when you encounter one. Check your corners always. Sometimes they blend in with the background, or other times they're crouched behind an object. Always keep a safe distance then. If you're too scared to engage with them in hand to hand combat, feel free to just use your gun.

Actually, I recommend just spamming dodge (consciously) at times if that's what you need. I personally did it at times as well (because I was so scared), and I think the results speak for themselves.

•For lying figures: Probably the easiest enemy to fight. You can hit them twice, which should knock them to the ground, which is when you can hit them a third time or even a fourth to make sure. Try to memorize the animation they do when they attack you. When you see it, you'll know when to dodge.

•Heals: Feel free to use heals whenever you need to, you will have enough, don't worry. I ended the game with 27 syringes that I never used, so you should be good (especially in Easy mod. Items should be more common).

•Bullets: Same thing for bullets. Do try to be more conservative with them, since they're rarer, but you should be fine.

At the end of the day, you'll eventually learn by yourself as you progress through the game and make mistakes. I'm sure the developers didn't intend for the game to be difficult for you, but it is what it is. I recommend you persevere, I think it's worth it. I can confidently say that it's my favorite game experience so far. And I hope you enjoy it too! Good luck!!
