A gorgeous game but unexpectedly and needlessly difficult. I'll usually play everything on 'normal' difficulty setting but I had to knock this one down to 'easy' (there's an explorer setting too).
I'm not a fan of the Souls type of games and there's not enough variety here that would encourage me to persevere when the combat got too spicy.
I knocked the difficulty down at about 2/3rds of the way in and it made the game a much better experience. Still challenging but I could beat bosses on my 2nd or 3rd try rather than 40th and I wish I'd changed the settings sooner.
I'd really recommend checking the game out but if you're like me, don't be too proud and just pop it on easy to begin with and you'll have a way better time with it.
