Same. I couldn't get into it. I've heard a lot of good things about it but I think I was expecting more like an interactive story (which I think is an actual genre of "game" now). Instead it's actually hard and I only play games to relax.

It is not hard but requires you to use the brain a bit. An interactive game should not be like watching Netflix.

I don't play games if I'm tired, but maybe because I do not like games with no challenge whatsoever.

If you like a story, then this has been approved by Pope himself: https://youtu.be/YFHHGETsxkE

I guess the thing is it's not fun either. I like games like Half-life 2, on easy mode. It's fun and a challenge, but doesn't become annoying such that I can't enjoy the story.

I'm with you. I already have hard challenges that I sometimes fail at, IRL; gaming is supposed to be an escape.
