Definitely I'm finding Grimrock 2 way too hard to the point of giving up now ... and I dont want to do that.
I've already mentioned I started on Hard and got so far but gave up and started again on Easy <------ still mega hard as you progress IMHO
I'm not slagging this game, the graphic improvements are wonderful as is the outdoor world, some aspects from Grimrock 1 are much improved ... Grimrock 1 was a more balanced game though IMHO, sure it had sometime near impossible timing puzzles that saw gamers help each other here with saved game swaps even if it was to progress/completion or not .... and in fairness I've seen less of that in Grimrock 2 timing puzzle wise so far.
The Grimrock team have included (bizarrely) even harder options than Easy and Hard to an already difficult game, just a thought ... maybe have an option in the future for folks like me who love the logic puzzles and make the annoying combat less repetitive, sure some love that but for me and others it spoils the game ... all I'm suggesting is, if you have options for a game that is already hard and difficult to make it harder, then why not some options to make it a bit easier as well?
We're not all teens in the prime of our lifes with ballistic reactions

As it stands and without using a god mode cheat hack ... I dont think I'll ever be able to finish this game now.
Should be room for everyone IMHO
