This week, ShadoSpartan wants you to know that not every hard game is hard for the right reasons—some were tough just because of clunky design or straight-up bad programming, not because they were really testing our skill. But what about the games that do get clever with challenging the player? When does harder actually mean better? Is Easy Mode a valid way to go through life?
Join the Time Pals as they dive deep into the art of difficulty in gaming:
👉 Why bullet sponge enemies are gaming’s laziest trick
👉 Did a harder difficulty ever force you to change your style?
👉 Which impossible games finally got conquered decades later?
And find out why ShadoSpartan Gets Hard for Hard Games
