Difficulty and accessibility options

Five settings and assisted combat

TechRadar reports five settings ranging from story-focused play, where parrying and dodging can be automated, to a deeper challenge. Difficulty can be changed during the game.

PowerPyx says difficulty does not affect trophies and notes that everything can be completed on Narrative with Invincible Mode enabled.

Visual, interface and content controls

The cited review notes subtitle, UI and HUD customization, high-contrast presentation and colorblind modes. Blood effects can also be turned off.

Options are personal tools, not a lower-quality way to play. Configure readable subtitles and contrast before a dark puzzle or chase rather than waiting until the encounter becomes frustrating.

Choose assistance around the blocker

The roadmap confirms that difficulty does not affect trophies and that Narrative difficulty and Invincible Mode can be used. Puzzle assistance, combat difficulty and accessibility choices solve different problems, so change the setting tied to the actual blocker instead of lowering everything at once.

If a route still appears blocked, verify the current objective and interaction prompt before assuming it is a difficulty issue. Reflector and symbol puzzles often fail because one source, mirror or receptor is misaligned rather than because the solution is unavailable on the selected mode.

Make one setting change at a time and replay the same checkpoint. That makes it clear whether the obstacle is reaction timing, navigation visibility, puzzle interpretation or an overlooked interaction on the route.
