I never played any Souls games before Elden Ring, and while it was a bit frustrating at first, I came to enjoy the exploration quite a lot.
It's not as hard as people make it up to be, as you can mostly just overlevel a bit if you hit a wall. Some of the boss fights suck, though. They feel unfair at times and I felt a bit lucky to beat some of them when they just randomly don't do the hard-to-avoid combos.
The exploration is what makes the game for me. The universe and atmosphere is spot on. Trying out different weapons and builds is a lot of fun once you get to around lvl 50.
I loved elden ring but you're right, it's not as hard as people say it is. I never got gud but was able to beat it by pulling other people in or over leveling.
After I beat it I figured I was ready for other souls games so I got into sekiro. Fucking loved that game but there is no getting around the difficulty. I finally gave up on young Owl.
Sekiro is sublime once it clicks. Easily my favorite from soft game
Elden Ring is honestly pretty easy with the right builds. It's just hard really hard on a first blind playthrough since you won't know what the good items are and where to find them.
