The only time I can remember having to restart was god of war 2, I was playing on hard and there was a boss I couldn’t beat after about a week of multiple gaming sessions. It wouldn’t let you charge difficulty on the fly so I had to restart the game on medium.

I’ve beaten dark souls 3, most of elden ring and the first dlc, Bloodborne, play fighting games, etc. I also like point and click adventure games with little or no control challenges that focus mostly on plot and character development through story events.

I’m okay with some games not catering to everyone as long as they are transparent about it, just like I wouldn’t expect white knuckle challenges that take practice and fast reactions from a cozy comfort game like animal crossing.

4 and 5 were both fun if you ignore the in game store and goals and just play around in the open world with other players or find some stretch of road to see if you can get a top speed, perfect a drift around a sharp turn, etc.
