I've completed Demon's Souls- Pretty damn hard game. Difficulty is a bit overstated sure, but not an easy game. Demands your attention constantly and punishes you for blinking an eye. Lives up to reputation.
I've completed Dark Souls- Boy does this one live up to its name...This is the one where I'd say the difficulty isn't exactly overstated. You really gotta fight to adapt and some areas are a BITCH like the tomb of the giants and Blight Town. Very difficult game.
I've completed Bloodborne- Easiest of Miyazaki souls but man the combat is so quick and with no shields, bosses can so easily fuck you up. Hordes of enemies don't help either. Can be a pretty tough time.
But.......this game is just.....what the fuck? I seriously feel like I'm going insane. Nearly EVERY boss can be easily taken care of by blocking and strafing. You know how many bosses have killed me in this game? Three. I've counted from the list and I've killed 15 bosses in the game. Those other 13 bosses went down with absolutely NO trouble what so ever. I haven't been "grinding" by the purest definition at all. I go through an area, kill all the enemies, and cash in souls. If I die, I kill the same enemies over again sure. I'm over 20 hours in, about soul level 120 with a +10 broadsword sure but EVERY NORMAL ENEMY for the past 5-7 hours has been going down in 1-2 hits. Every boss I've fought after the Pursuer(the second one I fought) have been total pushovers despite 2 others killing me.
I'm seriously completely baffled. Am I the only one who thinks this game is piss easy? And I don't just mean easy for a Souls game, I mean for the past 10 hours or so, this has been one of the easiest games I've played in recent memory...in general. The hell is going on?
Everyone keeps telling me stuff like "oh they rebalanced it for the Scholar version, bro"......No, I really don't believe that for a second. That can't have made the game this much easier.
EDIT: I should note the first few hours WERE pretty difficult. The Forest of fallen giants was kind of a tough time. Souls worthy for sure. But once again- after the pursuer, the game has been a TOTAL cake walk.
