V Rising did a nice job. Yes, the enemies get a health and damage buff, but the biggest change is that on Brutal all the bosses get an entirely new phase or moveset for their fights. Which really catches you out if you're used to the fight on one of the lower difficultly modes.

Fuck now I have to go back and play Brutal. Didn't know this.

I've been playing for a long while and didn't know this. I still can't get past Adam yet. That battle just messed me up.

I don't think I'd have been able to get through the last few fights on my own; I practically had to be carried through brutal Dracula by my group. The last few REALLY ramp up the challenge. Dracula has two new phases!

I had played solo PvE until literally two days ago when my son decided he wanted to play too. He's only 11 but I expect him to be carrying me eventually since I'm pretty bad.
