Difficulties are never well designed, and the majority of games with an easy/normal/hard difficulty scheme are too easy. I want them to spend the time to make the game well designed and very specifically balanced. In the case of souls games, I want the game to be hard, that's why I like that the devs tend to make fights hard, then, when testers say it's hard enough, they make it harder.

There's literally already ways of making the game easier in the souls games, especially elden ring which has the most difficulty modifiers of any souls game ever.
