Of course, it really depends on the game. For example, I preferred playing Borderlands 3 on normal mode because I enjoyed the mayhem, whereas I played the Horizon series on easy difficulty because the story was engaging and the world atmosphere was awesome.

So it really depends. Often, if a game is not an FPS and is really story-driven, I’ll play it on easy mode to enjoy the story. The more full and deep the game’s story is, the more likely I am to play it on easy mode to fully enjoy it after a stressful day.
