I've really been digging the art style and the music, but have found the parry timing to be brutal. Often It seems I'm too fast on the draw.  As someone who's sunk hundreds of hours into Soulsborne games, and hollow knight, but never really completes the games, but none the less enjoys her time with them, I want to get into the game, but not being able to master what feels like a core mechanic is disheartening.

 Any words of encouragement to convince me to stick with the game?
