As to many others yes this game requires patience and a lot of time so if you want to have fun this isn't a game for you this is for people who want a challenge so personally this isn't for me since you have to focus on literally so many things in the game and how your play style is but it will consume a lot of time if you even want to try to perfect it honestly made a friend racist towards the game and I honestly don't blame him anymore after playing this game for a while and literally even playing on normal difficulty is just rough to play so just play the game on easy mode if you want to at least enjoy it and throw it away after but generally was trying to enjoy the story but can't with how frustrating this is so honestly this is a big no and now since it's free with subscribtion people who get it will realize how time consuming it is but some others will enjoy the challenge so it's a interesting game but honestly the difficulty not for me rather play something like elden ring
