There was a game recently on a huge discount that had some great accessibility options. You could change how hard combat was, exploration, and resource scarcity. At least it would have been great if they did anything meaningful. Instead the base game was ridiculously hard, to the point that combat was nearly impossible, and even the easiest options only made it slightly possible. I guess the point was to force you into a certain stealth/no combat play style, but it was just done in a very unfun way. One of the few times I’ve actually refunded a game.

The point of games is to have fun, “cheats” are essentially just difficulty options.

True; a lot of cheats are now found as Accessibility Options. Like a lot of action games have a god mode option in the same place you’d turn text to speech on and select colorblind modes.

The amount of times I’ve had to use a trainer to make gameplay possible when my hand is acting up (and one time when I was cat sitting, and the goblin demanded a hand just for him) is enormous.
It is literally the difference between being able to play a game or not. I really appreciate the options being under accessibility in never games!
This goes for single player though. Multiplayer is reserved for days when my hand is functioning enough to allow it without trainer assistance.

Just did a second play through of Alan Wake 2, but I didn’t want to grind, just get the story, so I turned on one shot kill in accessibility. I was worth it.

Yes. You are worth it!
