difficulty selection in the settings.

[HURT AND HATE]

settings - gameplay - assist mode - easier enemies.
settings - gameplay - assist mode - easier all.
settings - gameplay - assist mode - never die.

Thats kinda stupid

I haven't used not die but glad the assist options are there. I would not be able to have fun playing this without it. This game would be too hard to be a fun experience on its normal difficulty. Some levels are just insane

I don't know, have you seen some of the challenges? Literal invincibility isn't going to guarantee you success when the goal is "kill everything and leave in less than a minute" or "clear the level without the thing that your enemies can and will destroy without your help being destroyed"

"Never Die" isn't even entirely accurate. Soul suckers and being knocked off of pits will still kill you. On the flip side, in at least one instance, not being able to die while trying to speed run leads to being caught in an infinite loop of plunger guys slinging you around the room.

That said I completely approve the devs focusing on fun over elitist nonsense and including these options. That they don't trivialize everything suggests to me it was thought through to an extent.

Thats cool and all but achievements shouldnt be enabled if youre playing godmode.

Why not? If you got them without it, then more power to you. The accomplishment can't be taken from you.

Because its a game with an emphasis on unlocking achievements.

Because it makes achievements useless.

Steam Manager Achievement - a special program for receiving and managing achievements. With its help, you can not only open access to cards and special game settings, but also make changes to the hour counter. (google)

I don't care about your fishy programs.

Cheats make achievements worthless.

Imagine you're talking part in a 100m run.
All the competitors run and try to get under 10 seconds for the achievements, but you just get into a sports car and do it in 3 seconds.

Do you seriously not understand the fundamental difference between something built into the game and an unauthorized third-party program?

[Rich12015]

You basically need it for the speed runs. They pretty much impossible without it. Consider completing the game the bronze achievements but getting all stars is a gold with or without using these options. If you want to only get all the achievements in the hardest way then thats up to you.

Devs focused on making the game fun and not a headache unlike many games these days and I for one appreciate that

This is not true at all.
