Difficulty is one of the most important things about a game, and as there are so many different kinds of players out there, it is pretty much impossible to balance things perfectly. So, I wanted to take a little time exploring some of the major approaches by diving into everything from The Witcher 3 to Resident Evil 4 to Dark Souls in order to figure out what I like and dislike about each of them.
