I'll get right into the topic by saying something incredibly controversial. Most people don't like it when a game feels too easy for them, and sometimes, they don't even know it. That's because the concept is directly opposed to how our brains interact with video games. More accurately, it's how our brains reward us with dopamine for playing them.
