🔞 Helix, Bane of Heaven

started watching MyGO with @IronicIron__ and @TorshunB

Fextralife played on Hell Walker, the hardest difficulty, while 66 Days is locked behind New Game Plus. He said enemies don’t respawn when you die: kill three, die, and return to fight only the remaining two. There’s no real fear of losing progress or replaying everything. Personally I’m fine with that we’ve all played action games before. He thinks locking 66 Days behind New Game Plus is a mistake. I think he is right players should choose their challenge from the start. If someone wants to suffer on their first playthrough, let them. Others can save it for NG+. Boss phases may frustrate some: reach phase three, die, and restart from phase three. It’s a deliberate choice we can respect, but people will have opinions. Reviews matter because they highlight things developers might overlook. Some want the hardest challenge from the beginning. Give them the options and let them decide. I hope they patch these. I’m happy it’s not a Souls-like, but it needs challenge. At least don’t lock 66 Days difficulty.
