Players lack flexible ways to get past frustrating game sections
Players can get stuck on difficult sections or worn down by repetitive combat and retries. Some want a skilled person to guide them without taking over, while others want easier retries, ways to reduce combat, or clearer information about adaptive difficulty. A game-specific directory of assistance options could help players find a suitable option, though it would not change how a game itself works.
For video game players frustrated by difficult or repetitive gameplay. Mentioned from Jun 2024 to Apr 2026 on Bluesky.

I wish there was a network where you could find a better gamer than you to help you through a game. Not play it for you just get you over that hurdle that is stopping me
It doesn't even seem that hard once you learn what/when/where to attack and stay back, but it's so tedious to retry each time you fail because of some nonsense that I just can't be arsed
