Yep, instead of feeling like a fun puzzle the timer just adds unnecessary pressure and gets me really annoyed.

- Yajirobe 2mo agoMy guy that’s the whole point of the game. Otherwise it’s too easy
- hnfong 2mo agoYou can still be competitive in "casual mode" using total time used to solve all the words.
- latexr 2mo agoNot everyone plays games for purposeless dumb challenges and difficulty. Games are supposed to be fun. Sometimes you just want to chill and engage the brain at a leisurely pace.
- Waterluvian 2mo agoYeah. It's just a walk to the mailbox for my brain.
- nocman 2mo ago> purposeless dumb challenges and difficulty While I agree that for some people games with a time limit are not fun, I don't think the challenges and difficulty should be classified as "purposeless" and "dumb". For many the challenge/difficulty IS the fun part, and they serve a genuine purpose. If you don't like that, then play a different game, but that doesn't mean the game you don't like is useless.
- latexr 2mo agoRight. I don’t mean every challenge and difficulty is purposeless and dumb, just that those don’t have to be the goal, and that sometimes an easy game is what you want. Tangentially, I have noticed some of the most well-balanced difficult games I have ever played were the ones with very granular difficulty settings. Examples include CrossCode and Celeste. Crypt of the Necrodancer too, though the customisation there feels like it crosses into too granular. In each I changed the difficulty settings exactly once, for optional challenges, and it made the games way more enjoyable.

- weedfroglozenge 2mo agoIf unscrambling 6 letters is causing you stress..... word games might not be for you.
