Thanks. But my problem with KOA is that the game content is bland and generic. The visual style and everything feels uninspired. I used it as an example in contrast to Dark Souls, which I find very inspired.

To me, difficulty is a matter of how much time I wish to spend with a game. If the lore and atmosphere are good, I can take a higher difficulty, because the incentive to explore the world is higher. A game as bland as KOA had better be easy.
