Yeah the game is difficult in the beginning. But it's on purpose, because Henry is not experienced yet. It will get better!

If you like survival games. I would go for:

Icarus
Sons of the forest
No Man's Sky (but that's more exploration)
Soulmask

Yeah it is a breath of fresh air

Well currently I play lots of Dragons Dogma 2, have to catch up. But otherwise it varies with ghost of tsushima and Last Of Us

Cool I'll do that!
