I felt this with Elden ring. Once I got past the starting area, it just felt like everywhere I went I’d find enemies that kill me in 1-2 hits if I made one wrong or mistimed move. I wish I had the skill or patience to get through it, but I just found it too time consuming to try those tough enemies again and again. Definitely may just be a skill issue on my part, so I don’t necessarily want to dissuade others from giving it a shot.
That's the point of the game. It's definitely not an easy game, but it is the easiest game of the Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring series. And it's okay if that's not for you! It requires a different approach than your usual hack-and-slash game, and that's certainly not for everyone.
I don’t know I had relatively little problem with Dark Souls 1 and 2, so I don’t get the people saying it’s the easiest game in the series. Something about the combat just didn’t mesh with me. No big deal though.
