Difficulty was context-dependent: bosses and higher modes could challenge players, while normal encounters were sometimes easy, repetitive, or auto-battle friendly.
Pros: atmosphere, world-building
Cons: HUD clarity, fast travel convenience
Difficulty balance varied widely, from challenging normal and hard encounters to claims that some preview combat was too approachable or too easy.
Pros: environmental detail, art direction
Cons: world interactivity, loot system
Difficulty was consistently described as demanding, with reviewers split between rewarding survival-horror challenge and frustrating spikes or inconsistent tuning.
Pros: core gameplay loop, emotional impact
Cons: checkpoint system, bug frequency
Difficulty balance remained a concern because the timed structure may feel stressful and the soft timer’s execution was still unproven.
Pros: core gameplay loop, replay value
Cons: value for money, difficulty balance
Difficulty balance is mixed: arcade can offer welcome challenge, but story mode is often too easy and some arcade spikes are frustrating.
Pros: movement feel, world-building
Cons: save system reliability, mission variety
Difficulty balance was mostly criticized for trial-and-error deaths and co-op compounding mistakes, though one reviewer found the game approachable.
Pros: load times, haptic feedback integration
Cons: save system reliability, aiming precision
Difficulty balance was the most common concern, especially poor solo balance, overtuned bosses, and harsh punishment after long setup runs.
Pros: emotional impact, visual effects quality
Cons: crash stability, cross-play support
