Just picked up Stalker: Call of Chernobyl. Been playing it on the hardest difficulty and learning the systems and dying feels like it’s part of the experience rather than just me being bad. It’s fun to have to use muh brain to come up with alternate solutions rather than bashing my skull against the wall until it works.

Kills immersion for me. I like a big challenge but one that can be solved with not too much of a hassle. Metro 2033 (not redux) was formidable on normal, or any Halo on Heroic. I like some balance.

Started Prey on hard because I figured "I can play all BioShocks on hard with a blindfold, can't be that hard" and proceeded to make the biggest mistake of my late gaming life.
