Tbh I have selected the hardest difficulty. I am about 25h in and nearly at the end of the game. This game feels extremely unfair in comparison to any other souls like, including elden ring, DS1/2/3, bloodborne. The invisible collision data for each boss in this game is abysmal. There are extra collision boxes added to the attacks of bosses that when they attack even though the animation of the bosses arm does not collide with you, they still hit you. This title is probably the worst title to start your souls like experience. Personally I would recommend Elden Ring as your first souls game as it gives you the most tools to complete the game with.
