Wow, I didn’t realize. I must’ve been playing on a lower difficulty than I remember. Thanks for clarifying

I enjoyed nearly everything about this game but really disliked how bullet spongey the enemies are, especially on high difficulties. It kept me from enjoying the gameplay and bounced me from the whole series, honestly

Edit: After reading replies, I must have been playing on a lower difficulty. This has inspired me to return to the series and play on a higher setting - thanks to everyone that clarified
