Is Give a challenge difficulty worth?

[itsNinjaToast]

I can´t really get a straight answer searching around but, does "Give me a challenge" rewards with anything, i only set it because i tho there would be an achievement, it´s actually fun but enemies use alot of unblockable attacks out of my FOV, and bosses somehow blind me, then use unblockable attacks, at this point i just want to finish the game, so should i just switch to normal ( Give Me A Balanced Experience).

There's no achievements tied to your difficulty, the only difficulty that gives anything is GMGOW which gives you 2 new shield skins.
And there's small arrows that show you if enemies are close or attacking never stand too still!

Im playing at "God of War" difficulty and its EXTREMLY difficult imo.
The games fighting system is overall nice but it wasnt designed good enough for such a difficulty.
I will keep playing at it but you can basically imagine that i die by 1 or 2 hits and sometimes its actually impossible to get out of a stun lock or homing animations by enemies.

Its very fun when you win and perform well in a fight but sometimes its extremly frustrating and I have to cheese enemies with my axe throw.

I would say give me a challenge is close to dark soul difficulty but I think that the only thing that it gives you it's a achievements for doing harder difficulty and the personal sense of accomplishment able to play and beat the game at a higher difficulty

Yh those 1/2 hit are a bit annoying sometimes, i die atleast 5/7 times on bosses because of that

Its a bit time consuming tho, i postponed other games to play GOW(if possible as fast as i can), but if that the only thing it gives that means im safe to switch to normal mode, right?

Nothing is out of your FOV. Absolutely NOTHING. Pay attention.

You don't need to see that, you can hear the attack and Boy or head will tell you it's coming.

Give *Me a Challenge absolutely is worth

I'm 20 hours in and just got the Dual Blades. Didn't want to go with the hardest difficulty. I thought its designed for NG+

True, but i died alot during the first dragon, could barely hear myself over the KAMEHAMEHA they spit its so dang loud, but yh i guess i should be paying more attention, but i learned to kill them first, there is an ability with the axe that pounces a single enemy countles times, kills them instantly

I´m actually enjoying "Give me a Challenge" as first playthrough, but the one hit kill (red circle/unblockable attacks) gets a bit annoying, even with almost maxed health and defense.
