    I'd wait to bump up the difficulty till you're in an area with more than just Watchers and Striders. There's things you can't one hit stealth kill.

      This is what I was wondering. I just completed the demon with ease playing on hard. Wish I had started on very hard from the get go for trophy reasons.

      I'll give it some more time before deciding to bump it to very hard. The only time I've died so far was from gravity. I was curious how high I can drop before I would die.

          Oh really? I didn't take a look at the trophies, I just assumed there was a difficulty trophy like most games. That's great news

            It's a little refreshing actually, not having to play multiple playthrough for a plat. Zero missable trophies according to guerrilla themselves.

              Yeah, the enemies get tougher when you start coming across the different robots.

              I'm level 20 an just made it to Meridian. I'm loving the game so far, and the different areas have different weather effects. I just came across a sandstorm in one of the areas near the city.

                Yup, for sure. I'm level 19 and on my way to Meridian and some of the new robots mean business. Getting to the Tallneck surrounded by Snapmaws was quite a challenge.

                Loving this game.

                  I don't want to derail this thread, but after playing this game, doesn't it feel like if they made a Jurassic Park survival horror open world game in 2017 it can actually work and be successful. If you think about it, this game is pretty much Jurassic Park but with metal dinosaurs.

                  Imagine if they had a open world of a Jurassic park island, or if it was a abandoned theme park that had them wondering everywhere and you have to sneak around and kill them and level up and stock up with skills and different types of ammo. They could even have finding surivior missions and safe houses. Imagine running from a T-Rex.

                  If I could only dream...

                      Definitely go ahead and spend 3 to double you medicine herb limit. You have to buy the first level, and then the second one after that will double it. I had a hard time deciding what to get after that. I liked the skill to jump off things and attack.

                        That's what I got also. More health is always a plus in these type of games.

                          There's a pretty useful skill on the bottom of the right hand skill tree too. Allows you to swap out weapon and outfit mods.

                            My skill priorities were Concentration & critical hit in the middle Brave tree, then Silent Strike and had to get Silent Drop so I could get Low Profile from the Prowler section. Then I started working towards Tinker in the Forager tree. Sprinkled in a Lure Call somewhere which is so OP combined with silent strike for dealing with herds if little machines.

                            Now I'm working down the Brave tree to add to concentration time and to get double and tripple shot.

                            Also, it can be overlooked, pay attention to the bottom half of the skill trees. They're not all linear. Example to get Tinker you have to start with Gatherer, not Healer.

I can't decide if I need to just keep playing and see what else opens up before I decide to limit my stealth kills in some way
                              The AI can be a lil dumb sometimes. You can literally stealth kill an entire area of robots/humans right next to someone or something and they don't even notice it.
