My thoughts exactly. I’m sticking with Skyrim and the like for now where you can just casually enjoy a short moment of combat even when juggling a pizza slice and a beer in your hands at the same time.

I don’t have the patience for souls games, but I have always wanted to play them.  Hoping this one isn’t as punishing as the rest.

Chinese parents might get better results from a subscription to Hip Punishments.
