Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better.

It's weird that this feeling never happens in a game like Hitman or Overcooked. I view them as challenges, but not grading like in DMC.

I think this really is just a personal preference deal. I WANT games with scores and grades. Come on, game, tell me that I'm horrible and that I need to do better! Maybe I'm into the punishment, I don't know. Played too much Bop It! as a kid and got used to the guy screaming when I messed up.

This is why I play so many arcade style games, and so many rhythm games. This is why communities for speedrunning, rhythm games, and high scores still exist - otherwise I would think I'm completely alone in this 😂
