i always thought the souls games could easily get away with an easy mode because the world is so freaky and weird and ive generally always loved the creature/world/level/boss designs. easy mode would also make it so much easier for me to just play it while listening to a podcast or w/e. there aren't a lot of 3rd person games i enjoy with melee combat that feels this good (because of its great animations/variety of weapon movesets). keep in mind i do LOVE the challenge of souls games, ive 100%ed dark souls 3 and elden ring, but if i could create a new character and just relax instead of have a clenched butthole while fighting melania? great
