Foreign media discuss the rationality of increasing difficulty options in "Black Myth". Are there advantages or disadvantages?

The challenging battle scenes in the "Black Myth: Wukong" series have always been the focus of heated discussions among players. Some people enjoy it and are never tired of it, while others find it quite a headache. Recently, the internationally renowned media ScreenRant published an article discussing the positive and negative impacts of introducing the difficulty selection function into "Black Myth".

Front Impact:

The introduction of the difficulty adjustment mechanism will greatly reduce the entry threshold for new players. Since new players often lack the time and patience to repeatedly challenge the Boss to familiarize themselves with its attack patterns, providing a lower difficulty option will undoubtedly allow more players to successfully pass the level and immerse themselves in the complete narrative of the game.

Difficulty The variety of settings will benefit all player groups. For players who are pursuing a relaxing and enjoyable gaming experience, the simplified boss battles will reduce stress and make the game more engaging. Even if you put the game aside temporarily, you don’t have to worry about spending a lot of time regaining the feel when you return. For experienced players and masters, raising the difficulty level above the current level will undoubtedly bring new challenges and excitement.

Negative impact:

The established difficulty setting of "Black Myth" helps players deeply explore and rationally utilize various mechanisms in the game, whether it is stick skills, spells or Gourds and other props, each item or piece of equipment can bring certain benefits to the Destined One. These gains will become more significant as players level up and upgrade points are allocated appropriately. By cleverly combining the right stick skills, equipment, spells, and buffs, players can more easily deal with boss battles. However, if difficulty selection is introduced, it may weaken players' motivation to deeply explore and utilize game mechanics to a certain extent.
