Had to check his Twitter to be a bit more sure because sadly I've seen too many instances where "my son/daughter beat _____" where it felt like they actually just had their kid stand next to a "the end" screen while the kid probably never played it. This dude at least has video proof of his son playing the game so wow that's pretty neat. Do wonder how many tries it took the little dude to get past some bosses, because even for me it still takes a couple tries to get past a good amount of them.

Game Journalists want easier mods not only because they suck at games but manly because they want games that are fast to finish to write their review as quickly as quickly as possible.
They don't want to spend time to master it, just a product to consume
