I dont play this game like a story teller. I play on easy, with weak raids, with no insta colonist death, no friendly fire, and with reloads enabled. I just wanna build a cool colony! But it got me thinking...

How do you guys play? super hardcore or really chill, somewhere in the middle perhaps? I wanna know.

Yeah. I dont remember any missions i played perfectly in the original XCOM, but damn if i remember the mission that went sideways.

But i dont understand when people play games on so hard difficulty, they need to cheese every mechanic to keep playing. Like yay! You put max zombies on in Project Zomboid and now you spend hours kiting them over a campfire... Just keep the zombie amount on normal and enjoy the freaking game.

I think the sweet spot in difficulty is when the game challenges you and punishes you for mistakes, but you dont need to play perfectly to win and you can recover from the losses.
