nightmare is even worse, you can't use dev weapons, the extra xp and gold weapons and extra costumes and stuff aren't worth it.
especially after the legendary tree nerf in patch 1.12.0, if i'm remembering right.
you used to get the good stuff of normal difficulty like stronger weapons and better gameplay in general, with the actual good things in nightmare mode like longer nights, no enemies on minimap, etc
but now it's just boring.

it doesn't sound like you two progressed very far desu, the early game of dl is the best because you can do those things, it's designed around the parkour mechanics and pushes you to avoid enemies and deal with them in a smart way, using firecrackers to distract them, baiting them into grouping on you then using molotovs and later bombs, etc.
but later in the game they start pushing you into fighting them, and they scale to your level, making even gold two handed hammers with king mods and even maxed legendary tree useless.
you keep hitting them again and again and again and it does nothing, and what makes it worse is that they push back against your hit.
early in the game you can use wrenches to push enemies or knock them down to get out of you way, but no they just try to grab you no matter how hard you hit them.
i honestly don't think techland knows how to balance this game, back when it first released you were stuck with machetes and sometimes katanas in the endgame and they oneshot almost everything, now even the highest stat weapon barely works.
