10 Video Game Hard Modes That Made Games EASIER

10. Difficulty Makes Farming Rare Items Easier - The Binding Of Isaac

Items are a major aspect of The Binding of Isaac. Which random things you get and how you combine them together can make or break a run, which is why most players choose to prioritize acquisition over increasing health.

It is also why playing on harder difficulties makes the game easier.

When you play Isaac on hard mode, the game has a much higher chance of spawning a boss room and other more challenging chambers.

On paper, this makes playing harder as you're more frequently forced to take on more difficult enemies. However, because clearing boss chambers is how you get new items, this increased frequency makes it easier to farm overpowered equipment.

The game might get a little harder at first, but with regular item drops, it becomes much simpler to gather good items until you've basically constructed a run that clears the entire game by itself.

It goes without saying that at that point, additional boss rooms become nothing more than item farms for adding even more ridiculous buffs and new abilities to your all-powerful setup.
