You might be, but at the end of the day, does it matter? The core point of gaming is to have fun, no matter how long you need. As long as you’re not frustrated by the game, I think that’s fine.

Maybe the game also isn’t for you - there’s so many different genres. Some people are shit at soulslike games, and there is nothing wrong with NOT enjoying a game. They might enjoy something different.

Now, what I personally have a gripe with is people being shit at games and crying online that it’s “too hard” and they NEED to make it easier instead of, you know, not playing the game they apparently have no fun with. But in your case - take all the time you need, have fun and if you start to not have fun, stop the game.

With the crashes, idk, but that could be fixable by asking in communities for the game or maybe submitting a bugreport directly to the developer.
