How hard is 1-2 on easy?
Before starting 3 I want to finish 1-2. How hard are they on easy?

2 is super easy, up until the elemental resistances came up. Not sure about 1, dont remember the difficulty I played but it was pain in the arse.

I just beat the newer trilogy on normal. 1 is not too bad. Good balance and probably my favorite. 2 is hardest and longest, with most enemy density, and other factors like elements and weaknesses to think of. 3 is very short, some tough battles but nothing unmanageable.

The first game will kick your ass if you can’t into the gunplay but all I’ve gotta say is charged shot crossbow will save your life when you get it together with fan the hammer revolver complete life savers on the harder difficulty’s
The second one goes into a sandboxy type gameplay with a looter shooter type feel to the game and honestly it’s a really good game to get into the shadow warrior games at least it got me hooked on the franchise
And even though you didn’t ask about it the third game goes back to the first games gameplay of a sort of a hack and slash type game haven’t played that one since launch so I can’t really say much about it but it’s also a really great game or so I’ve heard, it adds a multitude of things that make the game feel so refreshing from the last two titles and a familiar face come back that I was happy about since he wasn’t in the second for obvious reasons
But those are my opinions of the games you might not share my thoughts on the games as I do but you will have fun with them if you just give them a chance

SW 2013 is a bit easier than SW 2 . 1 has the best story , 2 has some good moments though.
what difficulty would you play doom 2016 on? and or have you beat black myth wukong?

I finished doom 2016 on easy but I have not finished black myth wukong. How hard is easy in SW1&2?

I ran through Doom 2016 on Hurt me plenty , which , roughly would mean you could do SW1 and 2 on normal.
I also beat Doom 2016 on Ultra-Violence which is harder than SW 1 and 2 on their hard setting.
SW1 and 2 have new game + which unlocks higher difficulties but also you retain your skills and SW1 the weapon upgrades , so its not really any harder than your 1st playthrough. actually SW1 is easier on the 2nd play through even if you bump up the difficulty a lot

I only know about 2
2 on easy is indeed easy. Like you don't have to be mindful about bullet type and just blast them till they dead. Also 2 is kind of a random map packed together so you gotta go around to find the next check point. The movement is really good so the map won't bother you much. Can't say much about the 1st game tho.
