I've been thinking a lot lately about stress in games. I react negatively to stress related to combat/my ability to press buttons at the right time, which I suck at. I don't enjoy it. But what if we considered other types? How would that change the way we approach difficulty?
What are some other mechanics where degrees of difficulty could be applied, and what do they look like? What other kinds of skills do they appeal to?
I love the idea that someone who plays a combat game on deathmarch might play a game that's pivoted on emotional intelligence on casual. Talk about normalising the validity of different difficulty settings.
What prompted this was reading player reactions to Love Island The Game S03. Discussions of drama/social volatility preferences feel eerily similar to discussions by "serious gamers" about how hard they like their combat in games. What else can we translate?
the first thing that comes to my mind is mystery/investigation games where the different levels give you different amounts of clues. or puzzles! in those old nancy drew games, the lower setting often had part of the puzzle done for you - on hard you had to solve the whole thing.
