Hardware matters

TL;DR make sure to have atleast 120 hz refresh rate on a game like this. Some reviews with difficulty complaints did not mention if they used gaming displays or not. I'd have posted this as comment on review but this site does not have that possibility. I have few hours of playtime on this on a 60 hz display and it was extremely difficult. I'm now on faster gaming monitor but have not played this yet on this setup however I have played another timing sensitive game and the difference is massive in difficulty. This is not a review, just a comment on reviews noting this is very hard. This game is timing sensitive and if you don't have a gaming monitor or old school CRT monitor, the input lag and pixel response times make timing sensitive games almost impossibly hard on regular 60 hz lcd monitors. Linus Tech Tips recently did timing videos comparing how well professional FPS players did when using monitors with 60,144,240 hz refresh rates. There was minimal to no difference in player performances between 144 and 240 hz monitors which was somewhat surprising. Ideally OLED displays or TVs would be fastest but for unknown reasons the fastest 2019 LG OLED TV still has 13 ms input lag while the fastest gaming monitors are around 2-4 ms though these numbers are from different sources.
