    Remnant: From the Ashes

    First time I played, I didn't get how the game processed how the enemies are leveled and I ended up making the game a lot harder for myself

    Came back a year later, figured it out, had a great time

      Ayy same, but due to the control, and how bland the world are at the beginning. I keep accidentally doing melee because the game doesn't have a hip fire and have to aim to shoot, it's hard to get into so i quit. The second time i give it a chance i change the melee to mouse 4 so no accidental melee, push through the first few hours, and the game is pretty awesome. Still don't like how they lock some weapon behind random event though, and the armour really lack variety.

      What’s the way it does that? I’ve never played it, but it’s on gamepass so I’ll probably check it out at some point.

        The game averages your highest level equip for each gearslot when you start a new area. It has a Dark Souls style weapon upgrade system so if you pump upgrades into a bunch of weapons/armor and then don't use them you can handicap yourself.

        The lower level upgrade materials start to get VERY abundant once you move up to another tier so the difficulty will end up leveling out on the next area as long as you don't screw yourself too hard.

        Enemies don't level up with your experience, but rather with your gear and how far into the game you are

        And it goes off the highest upgraded piece of gear rather than an average, so if you put all your upgrades into a single piece, you can screw yourself
