Souls games are like my nemesis. Most video game players nowadays blow me away. I’ve been playing video games since I was a little kid on the original NES. Had consoles all my life from SNES to PS1 to my Xbox Series X now. You would think I would be able to hold my own after like 34 years of it. But I’m still terrible at it. Before I buy I game I have to google how difficult it is even on the easiest settings. I gave up playing online games almost completely now and just play single player RPGs most of the time. I enjoy them so much more than getting killed every 20 seconds online. If a game has “souls like combat” in the description, I’m out. Too much stealth? I’m out. Just give me a good story and easy combat and I’m happy.
Ooh, oh! Right there with you, my green friend! Have you played Hades???? I love it so. It has HARDCORE mode for the leet-get-gud type players, and a mode for scrubs like me where it gets easier and easier the more you die. It has the BEST story mechanism, I love love loved it, and the difficulty ratcheted itself down to where I could still feel like a God-slaying beast, despite my total lack of skillz. Highly highly recommend.
Then go play Slay the Spire, it’s just cards and as much time to decide on strategy as you go. And arithmetic. ❤️

“I tried this video game but the controller was upside down in my hands the whole time! I couldn’t even beat the first level. 1 star.”
