Only two things come to mind:
-I always play on default difficulty on the first playthrough.
-If there are multiple playable characters, I always play as the "main" character in the first playthrough (I would never choose Bass first in Mega Man 10, or Knuckles in Sonic Mania for example.)
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
