Being hit doesn't make the screen flash red
Am I missing something in the options menu? The red filter doesn't work, neither from taking damage nor from picking up Berserk, and I can't find why.

Have you tried the Accessibility options and turning on Screen Flash Effects?

Accessibility options are turned on by default. They shouldn't be, but they are. Go in there and turn it off.
This is the first time I have ever seen accessibility options on by default. A bridge too far. You are now the second person to notice you weren't getting the iconic red pain response flashes. It pains me to think how many people are missing out and don't know.

Yeah, I found the Accessibility settings and turned the screen effects on. Very easy to do.

Considering you have to go out of your way to leave them enabled, I'm curious how anyone manages this.

It's currently happening and will continue to happen.

It’s only difficult if you don’t know where to look.

The screen when you first start the game presents you with two options. Disable or customize.

You literally have to go out of your way to leave them enabled.

Yes, I know. You want to defend people not reading.

Obviously they know how to read. Literacy is a skill most people possess. Obviously they just skipped ahead and or didn't know what they were doing.

"Accessibility options? Yea whatever don't know what that is, don't care, on by default so must be a good reason and I don't want to break something."

I really hope "on by default" accessibility options don't become a thing for future releases. I also hope this gets fixed.

Quite the opposite, actually. I have no respect for anyone who can’t read. And the accessibility options, you can revisit. They’re not exclusively on the start screen.

There’s really no need for you to be insulting.

There's nothing to fix.

And defaulting to on and being presented with a screen about it is standard for major publishers.

Even indie devs are doing accessibility options.

Accessibility options are great. But they should be off by default, by all means go ahead and present them when the game is booted for the first time, but do it something like, "This game has accessibility options for people with certain handicaps or special preferences, click right here to see a list of what they are and to enable or keep disabled."

Thanks everyone! I didn't even think this would be listed under accessibility, rather than display options.
