I don't have a ton of time to play video games (mainly I just do not want to spend that much time sedentary) and I certainly don't have time to grind away at a game to progress in a story gradually. I just do not have enough time for that!!
(btw I am not talking about "casual" games with no death / mobile games / etc though those are fine and valid also I suppose, I specifically mean story-based / signle-player campaign games)
props to easy games (the most recent Dragon Quest I'm looking right at you) and games that let you scale the difficulty (especially the ones that let you adjust it on the fly). also easy modes get bonus points for making the worst gamers mad.

Most recently, I thought I would hate atomic heart because of the tanky enemies, but after easy mode as too easy I tried the normal mode and had a lot of fun. It forces you to treat the combat as more of a dance (which fits the vibe of the ballet trailer) darting forwards to strike before darting back in time with the enemy. Hard mode was obnoxious though.
