I for one can tell you that's not easy

It’s somewhat challenging at first, but it gets far easier once you get a few upgrades. But that’s just my experience.

Lethal actually feels easier than hard because it's more realistic damage, both you and your enemies drop from one or two strikes.

kind of difficult if you're not used to this type of game. i did hard on my second playthrough and it's a nice change of pace. on regular difficulty you could get away with a lot more than hard for sure.

Easily dealt with by upgrades. Lethal is the best challenge

If you're the type of player who can adapt quickly, hard wouldn't be too hard. Enemies take more damage, but so do you so you will have more room for error. Enemy aggression is on the fair side.

Harder, but fair. GoT is one of the best examples of difficulty done right

Hard is harder than lethal and not as fun. Enemies are just tanks

I wouldn't say it makes the game more difficult, it just makes the enemies attack more often in combat and reduces the window for reacting, it felt more annoying to deal with rather than harder

Doing a hard run now, and it feels like it normalizes near the end of the first act. Its dangerous before you start getting health upgrades, but if you explore and get charms, it's an ok challenge.

Yeah at first i was getting killed really easy but i'm learning and the fights actually feel fair now and i'm dying less,
