For experienced gamers at normal difficulty, these games are not terribly difficult. And for more casual gamers, they can be very tricky. Some people, in particular, find that last third of Geneforge 3 to be very difficult.

Making a game that is properly challenging to all players is pretty much impossible.

Sometimes it is unbelievably easy forme. Other times, I'm like what the heck?! Like, I'll just get powned constantly. Other times, ill be beating the crap out of everything. I usually have a harder time towards middle-end. Beginning is easy. Pending if I do all quests, the ending isnt too difficult.

A lot depends on your class and which Geneforge. I though GF1 was pretty difficult but GF2 was pretty easy. Maybe I just learned a lot from 1 to make 2 easier. I'll hold my thoughts on 3 until I complete it, but it has some tricky spots and some easy spots so far.

There are ways to make it harder and more interesting.

Like, playing a Missile Guardian or a rebel shaper that never absorbs any creation he creates. This means no temp creations, and if you make a fyora, it stays with you through the whole game.

Actually, scratch that, playing a Missile Guardian makes the Guardian class breeze through Torment.

Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

I would say making a melee guardian (I did this in G2 though it wasn't too hard since I invested heavily in parry).

Well, it's better to make games a little too easy than a little too difficult, since it's easier to find ways to make the game more challenging than to find ways to make the game easier.

That said, it's fun to have occasional, optional spots of higher difficulty. The most fun Dikiyoba has in the Geneforge games is wiping out the heavily augmented Sholai in G1 with a fairly low level character.

Playing in Torment is always a challenge.

The 'final' boss fights for Loyalist and Rebels in GF3 are brutal. Despite all of GF3's failings, at least the final battle is climatic.

that is right wiping out the heavily agumated sholi is the best part on the game!
