Im just so bad at video games 😭

Game can be really that hard or even harder... or can be a walk in the park too where you do nothing but watch something or someone play it for you, depend on what tools you use to make the game easier or harder for yourself

Just.....Just buy it during a sale, OP. The main game only for now, give it a go and if you enjoy the experience buy Shadow of the Erdtree.

Just like any other game; It gets easier as you level up, and improve your build. Knowledge is power in this game, if you like to do digging online, i'm sure you won't have a bad time in this game. I hope you try this game out, and enjoy it

No, it is not that hard. I waited for a full year after the release of ER, because I also suck at gaming and never played a FS game before, but then I just bought it.
There are several features, that make the game very accesible for newcomers, especially the spirit ashes help a lot. So I used them in my first playthrogh. In my second, I played without them.

Don't be afraid of that game, it's one of the best I've ever played. The thing you need the most is patience and you need to be willing to explore a lot, because the world is huge. If that sounds good to you, you can beat the game.

Do these ashes have any downsides? Can i call them anywhere or only at specific places?

You can call them at most bosses and areas. There are a few bosses and areas where you cannot summon them, but those are surely not the really hardest ones in the game.
Plus: No downsides.

You get a bunch of tools to make the game easier, just play it and don't bother yourself with difficulty. There's probably people way worse than you that have beaten the game.

Do it, the game is great.
Futher tip, don't be afraid to consult the fextralife wiki: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com
It has great tips if you are stuck or don't know where to progress further or how all the mechanics work.

You can also add me if you want for further questions that might come up.

FromSoft games were never meant to be hard for the sake of being hard, and there were always options to make the game as easy or as hard as you wanted it to be.

For the most part, what's actually happening with those games is that there's no hand-holding of any kind. Rather than just being hard just to be hard the game is more idiot-proof than anything else.

Even the things that make the game easier aren't exactly explained and must be discovered along the way. The existence of guides and wikis downplay this aspect since in theory the only help you should rely on is player messages but even with that there's still many aspects of the game that require ingenuity and discovery.
