Tbh I find myself playing games that have high skill ceilings and beating levels/bosses feel like real achievements, such as Celeste, nethack, and dark souls.
I personally migrated to toot.site, but any of the instances listed on fedipact.online aren't federating with threads if you don't wanna go on toot.site for whatever reason.
At the beginning of the game i can't really tell what parts are supposed to be hard but fair at my current level and what parts are purposefully hard as to tell me to "come back later when you're stronger" so to speak
From what I can tell, it's not something with a player base like fortnite, but it's not underground enough to not have a wiki.
