Another good example is.
Bg1-2 Iwd 1-2 Nwn are the games that no matter what I tryed I could not a finish the game w/o any death solo run.
I could put in that list Plane Escape too but we are playing with an immortal undead.

Nvn2 and Solasta have the worst difficulty they are even more easy then BG3. Even with all difficulty extra settings.

Pathfinder 1-2 is a litte bit different because if I am good with math I can do it with some classes or combinations. Even on maximum difficulty setting.
But not with all classes.

I think Game Journalism ruining the difficulty in games.
There are some exceptions like From Software that don't give a f..k about the journalism they care about the player's.
But generally in this past 30 years the difficulty in games are lower and lower.
