  I think the main thing putting me off is how everyone talks about the difficulty. I once tried Elden Ring and got my ass handed to me by this boss right at the start, so I’m not too confident in my souls like abilities.

  I might pick up the remake on sale though and try it since you suggest it though

    I think the difficulty is overrated, which is not to say it’s an easy game, but you just have to be more deliberate with your actions. Instead of just mashing buttons, you have to be mindful of enemy’s actions and keep your stamina in mind.

    Of course, no guarantees that everyone will like it, but I think people shouldn’t skip it just because of it’s reputation of difficulty. For instance, I know people who have finished Dead Cells but never tried Dark Souls because of the difficulty, while I have finished Dark Souls, but was never able to beat even the first boss of Dead Cells 😀

    In short, the game is difficult, but not that difficult, and worth at least trying it once.

      I might try it at some point then. I know I’ve had some decentish luck with other souls likes (such as Jedi Fallen Order), and i know you well enough that i trust your opinion when you say it’s not that difficult. So i’ll probably keep an eye out for a sale or something, or even see if i can snag a copy for an older device.

        Thanks for the trust! Jedi Fallen Order is on easier side of soulslike (generally speaking), but it gives you some idea of how to tackle combat in these games.

        Would be interesting to see your perspective on the game, whenever you get around to it.
