thank you for replying, is it okay to ask how easy the easiest difficulty feels to you? I know that may be hard to answer and subjective but just curious ^^

you'll be happy to know it's a lot easier now, They've added lower difficulty settings, and even nerfed some boss attack patterns. You'll take significantly less damage on these easier modes, making for a much better experience as you are new to souls games.

Just went through your games, seems like you tried Sekiro and Dark Souls 3.
This might help you in the end, since you're not used to Soulsborne mechanics.
I found the game to be weirdly fast and slow paced at the same time, maybe I focused on parrying too much and didn't use the regular dodge enough, but in the end it was managable even on the default difficulty, and if it's still too hard for you, there are so called "spectres" that can assist you during a big boss fight.

Thank you both of you, that's really helpful to know. I personally found the limited time of Sekiro and DS3 that I tried really difficult so hoping this may be a bit easier so I can still enjoy the story and visuals ^^

The easiest difficulty nerfs enemy damage by about 50% and does little else. This one change does make a really big difference, though.

I can't really say since I haven't played on the lower difficulties past the first few minutes of the game. I would also be extremely biased since I no longer remember how difficult the game was when I first played it.

That said, most of the comments I've read about it said the game felt better on them. Enemy patterns don't change, so you could still be getting hit a lot, but you have way more chances to recover.

For the record, none of the bosses were touched in any recent patch, the guy who said they nerfed boss attack patterns is wrong.

some bosses and field monsters have had their attack pattern animations slowed down since the demo (which was the last time OP played the game) it was updated on patch 1.3........

Ah, I missed the part about them playing the demo, my bad. I'll edit that out. I don't know how much of the game was in the demo that they would notice any differences in the game, though.

Just curious before I buy since I tried the game demo before release but found it a bit too difficult, I don't tend to play hard games/souls-like games but the concept of this seemed cool, so just wanted to know if there is a difficulty that is a bit easier please? ^^

Hurry up and buy it! I am playing the normal difficulty for my first run through and its a good balance of chill and challenge. Enjoying the story, scenery, mysteries and music. You will not regret the buy. I am on chapter 6 and I read that there are 11. Definitely see myself doing many play throughs.
