The funny thing about the "game journalists are bad at video games" cliche is that I've had to crank up the difficulty on every game I've played this year to really enjoy them. I literally just restarted a game because the "hard" mode started to get too easy. I enjoy the struggle I guess. #blutoid

Honestly I pretty much never change the difficulty away from Normal. I consider it the closest to the 'intended' experience, and it's very rare that I feel I would enjoy a game more if it was easier/harder. And Hard Mode is usually just Long Mode anyway.

To be clear, I am not good at all video games. I am very very bad with some genres, but fortunately I don't ask to review those.
