Me playing yakuza 0:

  • press buttons hoping some attacks deal damage.
  • retreat when low on health.
  • drink staminan X.
  • gg ez game go next

But Yakuza is a casual action game. Try the Soulsborne or RPG games as they're notoriously unforgiving.

Yeah I'm sure I wouldn't even defeat the first enemy. The fights in yakuza were tedious, I HATE grinding, but the story was so good that I was able to finish the game. And everybody talks about how souls games are insanely hard, and yakuza is easy, but for me the yakuza bosses were kind of hard.

I don't know how the souls game are, but in yakuza the fights were all the same: wait for enemy to attack, evade, attack enemy during his backswing, retreat, repeat. The same on witcher 3 (where the fights managed to bore me enough that i forgot about the story). Maybe there are actual strategies instead of following the boring safe path, but idk. I couldn't figure them out.

Which is weird, because in dota the skill barrier is high, execution must be close to perfect to win big fights, you must coordinate with strangers, all 5 players need to be on the same page, you kind of need to read your opponent's mind, process so much information in a short window of time, and yet I enjoy that so much more that regular action games. My theory is that I like dota better because fights are so short yet intense. It's usually all decided in 10-30 seconds and there's almost no repetition. Meanwhile, in the witcher I'm evading the griffin and shooting little arrows for 10 minutes non stop.

I've only played the souls type games a few times but to me the main difference is that enemies hit HARD and have a variety of attacks with smooth animation that can be harder to predict at times.

At it's core though it's still the same loop of dodge dodge attack repeat... just a lot harder to execute
