This is a personal gripe about claims that this or that difficulty level was the “devs intended difficulty”. To this I say that everything that is in the game at any time is INTENDED to be there and that any way people choose to play it is the INTENDED way. Insinuating that if someone chooses to play a game (for which they spent their own money) in a way that is “not intended” (according to some nebulous “expertise”) just sounds elitist and frankly offensive and rude.

There are some really good soulslikes out there with great combat and level design, yet they can only come close but never achieve that special sense of place FromSoft games have.
What is that secret ingredient FromSoft adds to their games?

For someone who couldn’t get into Returnal - would I have a better chance with Saros?
