100% Edit: Getting all the achievements weren't particularly hard, most of them were story-related so they weren't avoidable.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
It's a grindy dungeon crawler, but definitely one of the really good ones, that keep you engaged and loving the grind. :) I 100%'d this game's achievements on Normal difficulty because it was simply fun to do so; the challenge felt just right for the difficulty I chose.
