Why did the Europeans make games with little to no difficulty curve? It throws everything it has at you from the very start you decide to play the game. Unless I'm only considering a few games in mind in which this occurs?

If they made it too difficult it would be considered offensive and the feminists would try to ban pissing while standing up again.

Westies just can't into game/level design.

Rayman is not a good example of that though; it gets challenging soon, but it just keeps escalating from there.

Turrican 3 has a decent difficulty curve, though the main difficulty at the start is trying to adapt to no invincibility frames when you initially get it.

Rayman isn't a good example tho. it starts out easy enough and then gets insanely hard towards the end. I'm sure someone's gonna tell me it's easy and to git gud, but I still haven't beaten it since I first got it like 15 years ago

Looks like the only information about Sweden you got was from /pol/.
Try something less cancerous.

Asterix & Obelix on SNES has a decent difficulty curve starting from an afternoon stroll ending up as full-on balls crushing at the end.

Lion King also had a very nice progression if you ignore exec meddling forcing stage 2 to be a pleb filter for rental purposes.

They were just trying to copy japanese studios but didn't really understand what made them so good. They didn't understand basic things like level design, controls and difficulty pacing which the Japanese nailed down very early.

Rayman's devs admitted that the game wasn't actually playtested all that much:

Nah man shit gets intense, although assuming you were like 5 when it came out and are 20 now you should be able to beat it.

>>3975101
Yeah he's saying there's no curve, Rayman is hard immediately.

>>3975114
Bandland itself is too much at times. That first level goes for ages and is full.of death pits.

Oh son, just wait til you get to the final segment of Eat At Joe's. You better have a ton of lives or skill.
