Is a harsh game, i wouldn't recommend it for beginners into the genre, but for veterans is an enjoyable challenge. Beautiful in general, with great variety of enemies and mechanics. You will die a lot when getting to understand what and why stuff happens.
I'd say the starting difficulty feels around midgame Sekiro regarding the enemies. And if you come from playing games like sekiro and fallen order, you will have to relearn how blocks and parries work. Don't give up and git gud, as always.
