Nah, it's actually way too hard. Like, I'm all for difficult and punishing gameplay when it's fair and balanced. But there's a difference between a game that requires you to learn the systems in order to "git gud" and one that requires superhuman reflexes in order to pull off even the most basic of defensive moves while enemy AI does it perfectly 9 times out of 10.

God of War 2018? I beat GMGOW mode before they even introduced NG+.

The Monster hunter series? G-rank is my bread and butter.

The Witcher 3? I platinumed it on my first playthrough(if you know, you know).

Black Myth Wukong? Erlang Shen hates me.

The previous Budokai games? There's a reason I and many others were so excited for a new one.

...But Sparking Zero, at least in its current state? HAHAHA, no.
