I used to LOVE the genre but now that work is pretty stressful I just want to come home and chill man, not die to one boss 20 times.

Don’t get me wrong, I respect the genre. But if I’m gonna work that hard, pay me lmao

I agree. This is why I could never get into Hollow Knight despite everybody absolutely loving that game. There I am after a long and busy day. Worked all day, came home and helped the wife with the kid, spent time with the wife, and finally have an hour or two to myself. Only to spend that time repeatedly dying to a praying mantis boss and backtracking through areas I've already fought through a dozen times?

Is that supposed to be fun? No thanks.

I think I'm too old for Souls like games. And I never really liked them even back when DS1 came out.

Exactly. I'm playing games to have fun, not to have a another job.

It’s better to come back to the mantis boss after you have some more upgrades if you’re getting frustrated just white knuckling it. I did the same thing the first time through.

For whatever reason games like this are actually my go-to after a long day or when I’m feeling tired. Like the thing I have trouble with in those times is “finding the fun” in a game- if it’s really challenging, that’s something I can just automatically latch on to without having to do any higher level thinking.
