Is this game hard challenging and or easy and relaxed

[Humble]

Is this game type to enjoy as easy and relaxed or type of hard and challenging?
I prefer stressful free, I don't like hard and challenging, and I do enjoy easy and relaxed, not had to reload game so much, (Because I'm disability and limited intelligence, thank you for let me know what type of this game is.

has difficulty options you can set too be massively generous so relaxing in that way

I'm new to RTS games and am playing this at the moment. The base difficulty 'commander' was very difficult for me because I the 'hard games' I am used to are games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring, which are a different kind of difficult. But the developers of this game are absolute legends because they allow you to either have a challenging experience or one that lets you enjoy all the mechanics while not having to worry too much about managing resources.

I'd say the strategic is rather trivially easy. It's definitely not Frostpunk-esque where you could really feel that clock ticking and the iceclouds looming. I don't think I ever felt any time pressure at all, except maybe on the very last leg to Vladivostok simply because I was tired of my guys getting the sniffles overnight. Early game you're a little resource constrained, but I never really had any issues.

On the tactical level, the missions vary in difficulty. I viewed many as more like puzzles to unravel than actual RTS combat because I did most of them entirely through stealth, so it was more like a game of observation and pick-up-sticks to just figure out the right order and way to kill your way through. Had I played more aggressively it might have made the resources crunches (in terms of ammo, grenades, medkits, etc) more pronounced and led to a lot more injuries among my troops which could have put more pressure on me overall at the strategic level.

This.

There is a lot to be gained by using stealth and/or gun emplacements. Basically, you'll want to use your own resources as little as possible. Shooting may be fun, but resources are scarce and a trigger happy approach will mean trouble.

If you want to shoot, the scout insta kill perk is obviously cost efficient.

@ OP: On 'normal', the game is fairly easy. It will tell you that you are low on resources all the time, even when you have enough to go the same distance twice.
