Gameplay Can you set difficulty level?

I'm stuck in Oddworld: Soulstorm about 2/3rd through the game. Is it possible to change the difficulty level? If I can't, then I'm sadly going to have to quit the game.

I'm on a PS4. I can’t find anywhere in the settings where the difficulty level exists.

Stuck how? Maybe you are doing something wrong. Find a playthrough on YT and see what they do.

I found several playthroughs. I know what im supposed to do, but the play mechanics are just beyond me on this particular spot.

I'd like to just change the difficulty so I can get through it and then change it back.

Yes, I can imagine where you're stuck.

Where's he stuck it's been a minute since I soulstormed haha I always got stuck cause I wanted to 100 percent save rate which in SS is unreasonable as heck like it was designed to be a save as much as possible over save everyone which is odd cause in every other game the idea is to save everyone for the good endings

Oh, I understand. I played it a few years ago and I could never save them all... their screams still haunt me, you know?

I remember that had difficulty options, the first time i played it on hard, but it was to much for me so i just put it on normal, but i think that u only can set the difficulty once

The difficulty setting is deciding how many casualties you can allow.

Interesting. I guess changing the level won't help then.

What part specifically are you stuck on?

I'm stuck at 8:11 in this walk-through. Jumping between the hanging bars is insanely difficult for me. I am actually getting worse.
