"We ended up kind of cornered there": Mortal Shell 2 devs say they didn't intend to "lock everybody out" by disabling achievements for Slayer Seal "easy mode" users

Mortal Shell 2 developers are facing criticism from players for disabling Steam achievements when the in-game 'Slayer Seal' easy mode is equipped. The Slayer Seal provides players with enhanced melee and ranged abilities, significantly easing the game's difficulty. Players argue that being locked out of achievements, even after unequipping the Seal, is an excessive punishment for utilizing an accessibility feature. This decision has sparked debate on platforms like Reddit, with some players feeling penalized for not opting for a harder experience, while others question the significance of Steam achievements altogether.
