Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better.

It's weird that this feeling never happens in a game like Hitman or Overcooked. I view them as challenges, but not grading like in DMC.

The trick is to not give a shit I guess: Just play the game, and if you can't enjoy it, why bother playing it?

There might be some mods out there to change it if you play on PC though, might also be worth looking into, but at the end of the day: If you aren't having fun, what's the point?
