I'd love to see the conversation evolve beyond a linear rubric of "too easy," "too hard"... HOW games utilize difficulty, the dance of challenge and emotional tension and how it speaks to the themes of the game... idk... I think about this too much

games like wandersong (and celeste) are stories--the goal is to make you feel something, and difficulty is one knob we adjust to create that story. the difficulty itself is not the point. listen people you just don't understand my Art end of thread

this is my speculation but I feel like when reviewers call games easy it's bc something about the game has posed itself as an obstacle to but that the sense of struggle and expectations of struggle didn't line up? ofc expectations come from a lot of places incl. games culture
-
but it's interesting how like, "hard" or "easy" etc are just narrative illusions like everything else, and don't need to correspond to player skill at all

The issue I had is that in most games there’s a difficulty and learning curve that progresses with each new area and mechanic, but when a game never makes you feel to clever by figuring out that using sing, dance, all while balanced on your head will unlock a door...
-
...and isolates these mechanics and only uses them for a short period, then it feels like a missed opportunity to throw some curve balls to challenge the player, and that the idea of a mechanic was simply underused in terms of either increased difficulty or it’s versatility...

I think that's the difference between a review and an analysis, a review is trying to tell a buyer why or why not to buy a game, some people enjoy the challenge and may be put off by that. while an analysis tries to understand the decisions made difficulty included, dunno

I mean yeah, I play different games for different reasons. Thinking about difficulty as a requirement instead of a storytelling aid feels like it limits the spectrum of what games can be.

I actually appreciate a low difficulty level in a story-based game. It makes it easier to re-experience the story on additional playthroughs without getting stressed or frustrated.

I never dock any points for the difficulty - unless it’s been made extremely difficult just to make up for lack of content. Wandersong had a great story and I didn’t want it to end. Yeah, it was ‘easy’, but it was really enjoyable. Doesn’t have to be hard to be good. :)
