The game is pretty easy (I'm almost done and 100% with hidden collectibles). That said, you're gonna die a lot. There's no shame in it, Hard mode is gonna kill you. Not in the frustratingly difficult way, though, more in the war of attrition sort of way.
This is probably the easiest game in the series though. Oddly enough, very few of my weapons feel high level despite this. So it's a bit of a disconnect between having underleveled weapons and breezing through the game.
Oh, if you have the choice, everybody, DON'T USE THE BOUNCER. If you pre-ordered you'll get it, but it's just as strong as in Going Commando, so it absolutely destroys everything. That might also be why it's so easy.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
