Challenging soulslike but easier than the 2nd if you're know what you're doing, & what build you have
Mechanically the game is easy. Just be patient and wait for openings. It only gets into the realm of difficulty when you realize how much of the game is complete BS. Nearly all of my deaths in this game can be attributed to the terribly unpolished platforming
