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.
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.
Sekiro is sublime once it clicks. Easily my favorite from soft game
