I've not had time to play anything this week, but my 11 year old has been playing this clone Pokemon game on Xbox called Nexomon Extinction. I'd actually tried to play it a while ago but bounced off it because of the difficulty, but 11 year olds have more time to put into these things. So he batters away at the first boss. But this game has like an anti-grinding design so you can't just level up your party to make them OP. So he does some research, learns some specific moves, and finally beats it. Keep in mind this is the first boss. And he gets an achievement for beating it. An achievement that 57% of players have got. 57. THE FIRST BOSS. You think the developers would have looked at their analytics and thought "hmmm, maybe this needs a bit of balancing". But no. Let's keep is so that more than 40% of users who bought this game have seen only a tiny fraction of it.
