Have you ever heard of FromSoftware Studios and Paradox Interactive? If not, allow us to introduce it to you: they are companies that offer unique experiences in different genres: the first specializes in Action-RPG, while the second is known for its strategy games.
Despite the different formats, both studios operate on an “unnatural” difficulty level. That’s because both FromSoftware (creator of “Elden Ring” and “Dark Souls”) and Paradox Interactive (responsible for “Stellaris” and “Crusader Kings III”) produce games that require more than usual patience and dedication.
Basically tough games
Recently, it has become apparent that Paradox Interactive’s games are particularly challenging, making them less accessible to the general public. Some gamers even joke on Twitter about the fact that they can’t understand the studio’s games.
A netizen said: “I installed and uninstalled Hearts of Iron 4 more than four times because I didn’t understand anything.”
And the company itself ends up joining in the fun, telling jokes and making fun of the games themselves. On Twitter, the social network where it receives the most interactions, the studio is always promoting clashes over its games, going on a wave of laughing at itself.
Additionally, there are reports of players who have spent more than 1,500 hours on Paradox Interactive and are still unable to complete the tutorial.
This difficulty is even part of the identity of the Swedish studio, which accepts jokes and recognizes the challenge of its own games.
“In Sweden, we make games that look like maps. People watch them change color for hours without understanding how to play them.”
Despite the jokes and difficulty, Paradox Interactive’s games aren’t bad. Also, if you are willing to invest the time and if you like challenges of this kind, then “Stellaris” and “Crusader Kings III” are two excellent game options for you. good luck!
