But I’m not looking for a game like Dark Souls.
Recently I’ve been playing Xcom 2, The Long Dark, and (maybe the outlier) State of Decay 2.
These 3 games are hard as heck in the beginning but just get easier as the game progresses.
In xcom, 4 soldiers, basic abilities is hard. But as soon as you can take more soldiers with better abilities it’s gets easier despite there being more and strong enemies.
In The Long Dark the game is hard to start because your gear is rubbish but get some decent clothes, tools and a weapons and the difficulty drops.
SOD2: The outlier because it’s a faster paced game. But again, you start out with rubbish gear and no car, but as soon as that changes you’re laughing.
So my question is can you guys recommend a ‘low skill’ game that stays difficult? I’m too old and lack the timing to play souls games.
This War of Mine is a decent example.
Even after you can get water or food set up, dwindling world resources still bites you in the ass.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your suggestions. (I have a PS5 and Xbox S)
I don’t know if you’d consider it low skill, but darkest dungeon is pretty hard throughout. The whole premise of the game is that you’re going to get messed up and it could be coming at any time. Even the boss fights I’ve won without losing someone have been rough and stressful.
