    I can picture a type of person that would enjoy Elden Ring for its artistic value but suck at games due to reasons outside their control (bad reaction times, poor concentration, sensory processing difficulties etc) or even due to not having enough time to "git gud". Why shouldn't they have their easy mode? Other mediums aren't that inaccessible to people

      This is me. Aesthetically I love the Soulsborne games but everything since Bloodborne has gotten faster and faster to the point of absurdity

      Sekiro looks like a fantastic samurai game but I literally cannot play it due to bad reaction times and sensory overload problems. Bloodborne and Lies of P scratch my love of Gothic Fantasy, same deal. Elden Ring required me to get carried by other player summons from Caelid onwards. I wanted to try Armored Core 6 because it's apparently fucking great - but I watched the first boss fight and there's no chance I can play
