The article title seems to oversimplify things a little with the “too hard” bit. I read a couple dozen negative reviews, and most cite poor performance, copy-paste boss design, too much hp and/or too little player damage, and unfair mechanics. Sure, those last two aspects could be seen as “too hard”, but they read like there’s a difficulty spike from the base game. Whether this is a case of players needing to adapt or whether there’s an actual issue here, I don’t know, but seems there’s more to this than just a case of players complaining about a hard game being hard.
That’s video game journalism in a nutshell right there. They’ll always do anything they can to downplay legitimate criticisms from consumers. They’re common tactic is to reduce everything to absurdity so that people just read the headlines won’t look further. They truly are the lowest form of Journalism. Absolutely lowest.
