Why does this game feel like hard mode only?

I wanted to try this game ever since I watched a playthrough of it several years ago. I decided to check on Steam in case it was ported here and was glad to see it was. I started playing the game and wow... from the very beginning everything just feels like hard mode while the game endlessly screams at you to jump and grind. I get that its a fundamental part of the gameplay but my gosh when I'm trying to figure out what the hell the objective is while the game is screaming at me and my entire screen blowing up all around me I can't enjoy this game like I thought I would.

Am I missing something? I don't know if I have the focus to grind and fire all the time. I want to keep playing the game but I feel like there's too much to keep up with.

After playing it for a little while and changing up some key button settings the game feels a lot better to play now. It certainly comes at you fast from the very start and you gotta really pay attention to the prompts in the game to understand whats going on. I just think it was the whole "new game what do" experience. I'm looking forward to the rest of the game now.

Yeah, the game is pretty fair on difficulty, once you get used to the constant grinding.

I died a few times at the start, learned to grind and keep moving, someone said the right click is useless but that time slow is hella helpful for someone with piss poor aim like my self (damaged fine motor skills makes getting decent very hard) I know wipe groups really fast and the big OD's have ways to kill them that make it like a 10-15 second fight where not knowing the weakness can make it a 5 minute fight and cause a few deaths.

Honestly I came here because I'm bummed the game is so easy. I'm not trying to flex its just the game has good movement but is so boring because the enemies pose zero threat. A difficulty slider would help drastically. Like if I couldn't take more than 3 hits or something I could actually have fun. To each his own.
