Video games and difficulty

[FlameSpice]

A difficult Game is more fun in my opinion. Like Elden Ring, for example, a great game but difficult to beat. The difficulty of a game is what gives the thrill, finally defeating the boss you keep dying to is insane level of satisfaction.

Personally, I think there has to be a balance. I don't like hard games, but if a game is too easy, it might be boring. A difficult, we could be considered normal and give a player the posibility of choice should be the answer.

I love a game that's "Tough but fair". Stuff like modern Ninja Gaiden, Metal Slug, a number of Shmups, Souls-likes, etc. Doubly so if it has a high potential for player expression though gameplay.

I have a *very* low tolerance for fake or artificial difficulty, however. I want to be pushed to get better and improve, not to be made to feel that my odds are down to chance.
