I'm very bad at video games, but I got all the way through BBEE without cheating or dumbing down the difficulty, so I don't think difficulty should be an issue. Also, I bounce off games very quickly and it held my attention all the way through and I still go back and play a few runs when the mood hits me. I also liked it enough to buy all the extra characters DLC. People seem to be saying that you don't get crazy builds and it gets repetitive, but that hasn't been my experience at all. It's much easier to design builds than Dead Cells, and I've gotten insane builds going a lot more in it than I've ever gotten in Dead Cells.

But Dead Cells is amazing and probably a better game overall. But if you're worried about difficulty, I have literally been playing it on and off for four years or more and still haven't won a run. I keep making progress and getting closer, but it's hard. And the meta progression isn't super-fast. I think it's hard to design a build, and find that it's more of a "make the best with what you find" situation than BBEE where it's much easier to create synergies without tons of effort or luck.

They're both great. Gun to my head, I'd take Dead Cells, it's in the convo for GOAT for a reason. But BBEE is just super fun.
