Give me God of War Mode

[Retsubty]

I was all on board with this difficulty. I made it through to the desert section of Alfheim. Then....for some reason the regular enemy encounters became impossible? Is it because I'm still high level 2 and they are level 3.

The insane spike in difficulty is strange for this random side area. The Dark Elf commander enemy is crazy and so is the hordes of poison spitting enemies etc etc in the other area I tried.

Makes me want to change to Give Me a Challenge. Idk.. I must be missing something. Level 3 must make all the difference, right?

The way the game handles level scaling is very weird. All enemies have a level attached to them. This is compared to your own level, which is based on how many stats you have overall.

So it doesn't matter as much which stats you pump; only that they go up so that your level matches theirs closely.

So if you have an armor set that you like, upgrade it as much as you can; You should get plenty of resources as you play anyway. If they all suck to you and don't make a difference, pick the one that boosts your stats the most.

tldr; Yes, your overall level is the key to making combat not be a slog.

Typically people play Give Me GoW on New Game+ from a previous difficulty. Not judging you or making a jab, it's just that compared to GoW 2018, the difficulty feels unbalanced in this one.

Well now I know. I actually did beat the game way back when on Normal. I wanted to replay on the hardest difficulty. If it's meant for a NG+ and not NG that makes more sense.

Next game they release I'll do Give me a Challenge first then, and then GMGOW on NG+ since I'm sure it will follow a similar pattern.
