It isn't really hard in a challenging, "alright! I gonna beat it this time!" kind of way, but more in a, "Holy freaking hell! That guy just came out of nowhere and killed me and I haven't saved the game for a whole 15 minutes!" kind of way.

The first bit of the game was kind of slow, a clever way to let you customize your character (the baby book and the G.O.A.T. exam) while also giving you back story on your character, but perhaps a bit unnecessary, it did make for a rather slow start. I didn't mind it so much though. When I sit down to play an RPG I am not expecting things to move along super quickly anyway.
