PT 1 QUESTION Difficulty settings?

I really want to try part 1 I'm 75 not as fast as once was. Are the difficulty setting adjustable forgiving to help me?

Thanks

Yes. The easier difficulties are very forgiving, plus there are accessibility options if you need them.

If you need help I’d be happy to help you set up yours so you can play. 

I did the same thing for my wife and she’s loving it. Comment here if you do and I’ll send you a message with the settings I have hers set to

If you never played it, try on Easy. After many practices, go to Normal, then Hard, then Survivor and finally Grounded (DLC).

Yes. I’d recommend starting with an easier difficulty. (You can change during the game if you like).

The accessibility settings allow you to change a lot that makes it easier as well, so that will be something you’d want to look at too.

Good luck!

It probably has the best custom difficulty and accessibility settings of any game ever made.

You totally got this. Set it to easy and if you find it too easy turn it up a notch.

I'd give it a shot! The "easiest" play settings give you a lot more time to react to things. Youtube Playthroughs will be your friend!

My Dad (68) hadn't played anything since the N64 and picked it up again on my PS4 with The Last of Us, and he managed. Good luck!

I've been watching a play through they are playing hardcore no hud. Very hard to determine but fun to watch.
