Did anybody feel that "Normal" difficulty is too easy after a while?

Currently right before the forth trial. 25 vials of Wiggenweld, rarely using one in a fight (and then only because I'm too lazy) to dodge. Not needing any Endurus or Maxima in any fight.
Even without using dark magic fights are way to easy. I don't even use Protego anymore.
Level 29, ~350 defense, ~350 offense.

It seems to me the developers did not properly balance this game and after a while you are kind of forced into "Hard" difficulty in order to balance things out. However, "Hard" might be a bit too much when starting the game.

What's your opinion? Is "Normal" really normal as you progress or do you too find it too easy?

Even on the difficult setting it feels easy after a while, mid 20s to early 30s... I could be wrong, but it feels like Normal has twice the HP as Story, and Difficult has 20% more HP then Normal (enemies). AI feels the same at all levels; though on Story it tells you when to defend, and you do not have to chase Beasts all over the place.

I agree with you and noticed the same, after a while the "normal" level gets easy. I'll probably change to hard difficulty.

The hard mode is too easy. There's two mods for that "Harder Hard mode" and "No Health Regen". I don't even recommend to play Normal mode if you don't expect to be easy.

I started with hard from the beggining because i feared it's gonna be too easy on normal and i gonna get bored.

Hard is pretty nicely balanced, but obviously play whatever difficulty gives you the most fun.

Well, too easy or too hard is relative to the gamer playing the game. As a Harry Potter game you are probably not catering a normal mode for your average Dark Souls/Elden Ring player.

Maybe there should be more difficulties above normal than there are to accommodate those who want it to be harder but I feel like normal is fine for most people.

What do you mean? The beasts just appear in your farm? Or like they just stand still and don't move then you throw the pokeball use the bag?

I'm playing on Hard and it's too easy. So I'm sure normal is a joke.

+1,I was level 18 when I hit the talent points unlock,and after it sucks the difficulty right out of it.

I played on normal and got the exact right level of difficulty for me.
I used my potions regularly, even switching between several potions mid fight.

I think the difficulty is just right as is.
If you play games competitively and are in it for the skills, then maybe use mods that change the games difficulty to your liking.

I don't think a "very hard" mode is something this game needs.

I was at 21 when I unlocked talents...and now it's total cakewalk.

I'm only around level 12 or so on Hard difficulty, and there's been some challenging stuff. I haven't really been using Health Potions, though.

Doing no damage runs solo on all of the crossed wands duels was pretty challenging.

Change to hard ASAP, its way more enjoyable this way.

Hard has been a good, balanced experience so far. And I think for the MAJORITY of players it will be a proper challenge - not too easy, not too hard.

I feel it's more an issue with people who come from Souls games.

So far the only real challenge in hard was the crossed wands second match and that was only because the targeting system completely sucks and I would get hit while trying to break a shield on someone I wasn't targeting. After that tho it's been fine since you can actually hide and move around in the world.
