10 Video Games That Start Hard But Get A Lot Easier Later On

Almost any of the BioShock games could work on this list, with the series known for starting you off with weak weapons and no powers, before gradually letting you evolve yourself into a flame-throwing demigod who also happens to be packing enough firepower to win a small war.

BioShock Infinite is the best example as, unlike the first two games in the series, Infinite's protagonist, Booker DeWitt, isn't allowed to carry any health kits or salts to boost up his Vigors, meaning you have to be extra careful in combat. Oh, and you're only allowed to hold two weapons at once, so whenever you find a good gun, you have to sacrifice something just to pick it up.

In the early going, this can make enemy encounters quite difficult, and Booker doesn't even get a regenerating shield straight away. As the game progresses and you unlock more powers and upgrades, combat becomes much more manageable.
