Edit: This is not a troll post. I'm asking this question earnestly and appreciate any perspectives folks are willing to share.

What i understand is the the brutality comes from the exploration and achieving greater progress. I.E. mistlands are pretty super brutal until you clear them the first time.

Sailing in a boat not knowing what is what when you first start out and then some giant sea snake just wrecks your everything and it drops to the bottom of the ocean when you had no idea what to expect. Thats pretty brutal.

Or just purchasing the game and building a tiny cute little housie going to explore and you find some nice really tall pine tree's and you're like OOOOOOHHHHH MUST GO VISIT and as you do a giant troll comes out and just smacks you down and your little cute housie and when you respawn he's right there waiting.

There are some brutal things about this game but honestly, its really really not THAT serious imho.

EDIT: wanted to make mention of being all into the game and you're traversing the swamps and you see a super hot and sunny piece of land and you're like "ohh thats beautiful" and then BZZZZZZ get stung bye a beeskeeto. That is also pretty brutal.

First time running into swamp and giant 5 legged tree creature comes chasing after you that actually runs pretty fast.

First time heading to the swamp and you jump that small river to get to the swamp and some eels poison you and you go down.

First time encountering some crazy blobby things after fighting a bunch of green goblins thinking you got the hang of it and get REKT.

LOL i actually love all of this though and thats what makes it fun to me. BUT, it is pretty dang brutal. P.S. i can go on and on about experiences.

RE-EDIT EDIT: so i also want to make mention of my second crypt i explored and my 4th one ever. First crypt i was like okay cool, some skeletons and yeah i can hang. Second crypt was like OMG BLUE FREAKING GHOSTY!!! AHHH! that was an experience. 3rd crypt i was prepared for anything!! RAAAAA 4th crypt i encountered a 2 star poison skeleton. LOL :( this was extremely extremely brutal.
