Depends on when I hit that difficulty spike and how changing the difficulty works. If I can change the difficulty at any time and not lose progress, I'll do it and not think twice.

I was playing the evil within 1. I was at the end of the game right before the final boss. The game up to that point was balanced on hard. It gave a good survival horror experience. Every boss fight or mini boss felt reasonable.

At the end of the game, they suddenly throw you into an arena with a ton of enemy waves that wouldn't drop enough ammo to deal with them all. Looking it up online, the recomendation was to save ammo the whole game specifically for this fight. But nowhere prior did i feel like that was needed

Suddenly, the game went from being fun to frustrating. I didn't wana have to replay the level so at that point I hung up the towel and moved on.

Great game otherwise! Might replay it on normal one day lol
