With mildly depressing certainty, I can say I’ve been playing video games for longer than some GamesRadar readers have been alive. In my distant yo൩uth, games really were as difficult as you’ve heard. Back then, though, I had a ludicrous amount of free time – in addition to the game-playing skills that, as we al🌜l know, are genetic.

Today, however, I have a lot of things I didn’t have back then: three young children who have probably inherited the mad skillz gene; a full-time job that drains my soul/💫gives me a sense of purpose in society; a mountain of bills that must be paid. I have a long list of things that take priority over repeatedly trying to defeat♔ that end-of-level boss.

When I was younger, I got halfway through 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Resident Evil: Code Veronica before starting the game again from scratch because I didn’t have enough ammo to knock the Tyrant out of a plane. Contrast that with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls 2, which I tried for a few hours befor💯e deciding that I’d wasted enough of my remai🐭ning life getting killed by the same dozen enemies.

That’s why Prey likes me, and I ওlike Prey. Here’s a game that allows me to change the difficulty setting at any time, and even makes a🥀 point of saying in the loading screens that I won’t be punished for doing so.

I’m not the only one in this leaky boat, as other spare-time-challenged gamers can surely attest. I have no desire to stop playing games, even though the ti൲me I now devote to them is merely ridiculous rather than ludicrous. If developers can help everybody by allowing players to adjust the difficulty at any time during play, and not just at the title screen, players would broaden their horizons. They would be willing to try more games, which would in turn drive sales up for publishers and developers.
