>>62238421As someone who's played all the Dark Souls borne games, Lies of P isn't actually harder.
The reason people THINK it's hard is because they go in thinking it's like Dark Souls, Sekiro, or Bloodborne.
>Try to parry everything and die to bosses that punish that>Try to dodge everything and die to bosses AND enemies>Never use any items because items are generally expensive and only moderately powerful in other games (they're genuinely broken in Lies of P and they're super cheap).They focus on one aspect of the game and ignore the rest, inevitably getting their ass handed to them because the game expects you to use everything and does hard counters. For instance the Scrapped Watchman was a test to see if you could GUARD, PERFECT GUARD, and DODGE appropriately, in that order of importance.
Later on, there's a boss that genuinely requires you to use items if you want to defeat it.
>tl;drThe game is easier than Elden Ring because it offers just as many options to overcome anything that causes difficulty. The only ones who think it's hard are those who refuse to use the mechanics the game gives you because ????????????
