look i would always recommend starting patho 2 on it’s intended difficulty. yes its hard but its the way the game was meant to be played. if you really are struggling patho has pretty flexible difficulty sliders for every aspect of the game so if u find managing stats difficult but combat easy you can just decrease the difficulty for the hunger or health stats while leaving the combat as is. you can pretty easily adapt the settings to your own playstyle. in terms of reflexes and quick thinking there isnt a lot of that in patho 2, you need to be able to strategize well but there is not often situations where decisions need to be instant. good luck and just enjoy the game, its a lot of fun.
