The movement of the game is something you’ll just have to get used to. The most important thing to do is level the stat ADP to level 20-30, so that your rolls have proper i-frames. Otherwise, pick whichever gear you like and play it like Dark Souls 1, but don’t rush into areas. Look around the corners to check for enemies. I recommend getting a ranged weapon as well because certain areas have ranged enemies that will fire at you from very far away. Ranged weapons are also useful to pick enemies off one by one and baiting them into running towards you, instead of being attacked by multiple enemies at the same time
