Returnal is a great game but it's extreme difficulty and Rogue elements make it near unplayable for players with a lower skill level.  

The game isn't cheap (£70) and I think it's reasonable to ask Housemarque for the option of a lower difficulty setting  for people who bought the game without really understanding the genre and stand no chance of ever progressing through it. 

An example would be to give the game 2 difficulty settings: 'Rogue' and 'Rogue-lite'.

Rogue would be the default setting.

Rogue-lite would lower the game's overall difficulty to a more accessible level, weaker enemies, less challenging boss battles, certain rogue elements removed or altered, this would give players who are locked out of the game a fighting chance of progressing.

Adding a difficulty slider wouldn't lessen or cheapen the experience for those who like Rogue style games because only those who are struggling would need to use it, as it stands a large number of people who bought  the game are unable to experience it. 

As stated earlier at £70 I think it's reasonable to ask for the game to be more accessible to a wider range of players. 

Your help would be appreciated. 

Thank you, Russell.
