No game NEEDS an easy mode
22,082A different take on the easy mode debate, covering: challenge and choice, disabilities and difference, Sekiro and Dark Souls, and of course, games journalism.
And all that without a single use of the word “art”, no comparisons to other media(or food analogies), and not one clip of a game journalist failing at cuphead. So… even if you disagree with everything I say, at least you have to admit that I’m being original here.
