How difficult is this game?

[Gearwar]

Based on what I saw so far and what I read (the few topics that deal with this online) how hard is the game?
What I have gathered is that its pretty easy by any standard. Apparently thief is busted.

I can deal with the bad performance, specially in the city, but if this game is just a button mashing snoozefest it kinda loses its luster.

And I am not talking about people that min max and check guides for optimal strategies. Even blind playthrough players that barely care or know what to do say its easy.

I figured there is enough time passed now that some people have a take on this in here

I'd say it's probably about the same as Elden Ring. Not as crazy as a Souls title, but still pretty challenging at times.

I play as a knight, and so far I find the normal encounters quite easy to handle, those minibosses fight, minotour, werewolf, orgre, etc. can be a bit challenging but still not difficult.

And this is definitely not soul-like difficulty.

Capcom still needs to add difficulty options like in DD1, if you didn't know yet.

eh, depends. The first time i met a minotaur at lower levels, I barely won. I'm higher level now and met minotaur close to where i met one before and I crushed it.

It all depends on whether you are over leveled for area.

It depends who your other two pawns are. If you have good online pawns then they can practically carry you. Especially the start of the game isn't too difficult. If it's anything like the previous game then the difficulty starts at mid to endgame

elden ring is way harder than this game lmao. This game doesnt offer all that much of a challenge out side of a few fights so far.
In elden ring you can at least die to mobs, this game I feel like you cant.

Elden ring isnt the hardest souls like by a mile but yeah not comparable on difficulty.

[Nokturnus]

the game is quite easy yeah

[FireShark]

Every game is easy if all you do is follow youtube guides, including Elden Ring.

For those who actually play the game for themselves, Elden Ring is far more difficult than DD2.

The Griffin bodied me when i saw it for the first time. Even landed on my pawns. Took me for a ride and i fell to my death. I did barely any damage lol.

It's not duality, one is playing a fighter, the other is probably a thief

[ThatOneGuy]

To answer OP question, pick thief as your starter vocation and stick with it and you'll be asking for the game to be harder soon enough

For real? I'm level 30 and this game is nowhere to Elden Ring difficulty, and thats all while Elden Ring itself is quite easy compared to previous souls game. Maybe theres challenge in endgame but i highly doubt

Edit: I played as Mage, Sorc, Warrior so far. No difference in dfficulty for me although sorc feels most busted

It's not particularly difficult. I occasionally die because I get too spammy with moves, run out of stamina, and my pawns are nowhere to be found, but that's about the extent of the difficulty once you have a hang of the combat system.
