I’m not saying ER will be for you (it isn’t for everyone) but it isn’t the “hardcore” game you might envision. The souls games being hard in general was mostly a meme that went too far. It’s honestly probably easier than The Witcher 3 (except for a few optional things). If you do decide to play it, just keep in mind things don’t need to be hard. That’s just a sign that you should go explore somewhere else. Once you level up some more, get new equipment, and level your equipment, it’ll make things easier.
