The game’s difficulty settings range from Easy, Normal, Hard, or Nightmare. This setting determines how much damage you inflict and sustain. If you’re new to first-person shooters, consider the Easy setting. But if you have experience with these types of games, Normal is highly recommended. The Hard and Nightmare difficulties are best reserved once you’ve completed the game. These advanced difficulty settings are very unforgiving, so it’s best if you have a familiarity with the various weapons, enemies, and the layout of Talos I.
