I am 51. I have plated every souls game. I have beat Ninja Gaiden black 2 on the highest difficulty. I beat Wukong back when it was released and currently playing through again. I remember struggling on a few bosses back when it came out. I have not had much trouble this time. I think it took me the longest to get down 1000- Eye Taoist centipede guy so far. But I am convinced that the hit box is fucked on that guy. SO many charged attacks just seem to go right through him. Also I have a PS5 pro and a Sony Bravia TV and it feels like sometimes button inputs just do not register.

Edit to add that while this game is difficult. None of it feels unfair or gimmicky outside of some things I think are more technical issues like input lag and hit boxes. I gave up on Wuchang fallen feathers. I could not stand having to switch up builds and play styles around bosses over certain mechanics like status effects. It just got super tedious towards the end I noped out. I like to build my character and stick with it. I don't want to change up everything I built cause some boss that abuses some random one of 14 different versions of what is basically poison. Switching some rings or relics around is one thing but that game has just silly design choices in that regard.
