Sekiro is the only From Soft game that doesn’t already have difficulty “modes”. All the other games, you can just grind until your OP, or bring a summon. This is actually superior to the approach to difficulty in many games who lazily just scale damage and health. Sekiro has a better argument for difficulty modes than Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

FromSoft is moving in this direction. Sekiro has a few accessibility options: controller/keyboard remapping and subtitles. Elden Ring adds to this formula with colorblind filters. They could do much better.

I can’t understand why people are so upset about how someone else plays the game. Just seems like a continuation of the “get gud” gatekeeping crap. It’s kinda ironic because of how the game mechanics of From Soft games encourage and expect player collaboration. I mean even if you’ve never used a summon, I’ll bet you didn’t find the Dark Souls DLC area without a helping hand.

Every game is improved by more people enjoying it.

Not every game has to be made for everyone. If it’s too hard, or you don’t want to make the adjustments to learn the game, just skip it.
