    At least I can fight Malenia 50+ times without any tedious things in-between. If you die three times at a boss in an 80s game, you’re starting that game over. I would say that if 80s/90s games had similar qol improvements then most of them would not be as hard as souls games.

      Yeah, most of the challenge back in the day was clunk, lack of information, and game design derived from arcades, where you had to die so that you’d use more quarters.
