Is it more less or same level of punishing lately?

Tried a while back, and the new update seems like maybe progressing is easier? But I remember it being more punishing than Elden ring IMO with little or no way to progress it seemed like— has that improved at all with the update or other updates leading up to it?

I agree about it being overly punishing. There were times when some of my playthroughs felt easier later on just due to getting better gear, but there's no way to grind in the beginning (other than creating a new world and importing your old character there).

You can grind, but enemies respawn slower than other souls game since theres no bonfire to reset everything, you find the game easier after awhile because you know what to do, know a little more about your enemies and the area, its normal, just soldier on, die a lot and get back in there.

Of course the game is punishing, its a soulslike combat, you mess up you get hit in the face, simple as that, carefull with those ledges too, people die more of falling than in combat hehehe.
