What's up with the easy difficulty on the demo?

First time playing an Onimusha game, and I had a question. I loved the combat, tone, graphics, story, sound/music design, but not the difficulty.

I don't expect Onimusha to be dark souls/sekiro level hard, but when I choose a "non story difficulty" that explicitly says "it's meant to challenge you", I expect to be *challenged* and die a decent amount (see Resident Evil harder difficulties).

This hasn't happened here:

  • 95% of the enemies usually just stare at you for ages until they do an attack. If you are aggressive, they'll just let you completely pummel them
  • Parries are super easy and the parry window is incredibly forgiving
  • Enemies are slow, don't punish you and don't do that much damage
  • The entire game can be run through by spamming normal attacks and then retreating
  • When you're fighting more mobs at the same time, the enemies almost completely AFK until you're done with the mob you're fighting

The only part where the difficulty was okay was with the final boss, but even that was a walk in the park.

So, here's a question, was this only done like this for the demo or will the final game also look like this? Are other Onimusha games super easy and meant for casual gamers as well or is this isolated to the newer title?

I've seen some arguments from people that say "it's just a starting area, it's supposed to be easy", but the way the game opens up and how final boss talks to you clearly shows that this is definitely not in the beginning...

Marco Rubio says that Russia's military invasion of Ukraine is a strategic failure for Moscow and that the world + even some insiders in the Putin circle are starting to view it that way

NYT reports that Trump thinks JD Vance is lame, criticizes his shoes, and makes fun of him. But the one thing he appreciates is his loyalty like when he chooses Trump over the Pope. He’s told Vance he should stop interrupting and be more subservient like those around Xi Jinping.

Imagine being a corrupt, Russian tied Orban politician in that parliament and being forced to listen to the EU national anthem as the agent against the actual deep state gets sworn in. Cinema.

I've been smoking CBD buds for a while now. I got them from a nearby city farm and so far they seem to be the only ones that know how to work with this plant in the entire country lol (I've tried a lot).

Unfortunately they don't make CBD oil. I want to move to that form of intake to spare my lungs possible damage from the smoke.

Was wondering if you guys know any good European based stores (in the Eurozone/European single market) that sell solid CBD oil products.

Cheers!
