Should i refund Elden Ring if Wukong is too hard?

[DragonMaster]

I bought Elden Ring and it seems i should refund. I heard Wukong is "souslite" game. If it is souslite I am afraid Elden Ring would kick my ass much more...

You can make Elden Ring easier or harder based on how you play. Wukong from what I've experienced (in Chapter 3 now) is fairly linear in progression and easier.

If you think Elden Ring is harder (more difficult) than Wukong I would suggest looking up some tips and guides on YouTube.

just like wukong, elden ring can be made easy if you actually engage with the games mechanics it offers. That being said, also like wukong, its pretty easy to just die sometimes because you mess up back to back.

Elden ring is the easiest game created by from software so far, you dont even have to fight bosses, summons will kill them for you.

If you played Elden Ring, you should know that there are many bosses that can't be won by summoners. For example, Dragonlord Placidusax. I have platinum in Elden Ring and Dragonlord Placidusax is the one of the bosses for platinum. So you are wrong that I can't win without summoners. I can't believe that summoners are really helpful in Malenia fight.
I completed Demon's Souls Remake and there are no summoners. And Steelrising.
Anyway. I think that it's good when player can use summoners if it's needed. It's better for player to complete the game with summoners instead of not complete the game cos of difficulty.
I bet that less than 30% of gamers will complete Wu Kong if they won't make the final boss easy,

You cannot really compare the 2 games, Wukong took inspiration from other souls like, such as Sekiro, where you are forced into more or less the same type of play style as every one else, "Melee". Spells and abilities you get, can force openings to deal damage, but you are still stuck smacking them over the head with a stick for a lot of the fight. Mix that in with having to perfect dodge and you get a much more unforgiving experience. However most bosses in Wukong are not too tough, it is the optional ones, like Yin Tiger who are going to take your lunch money.

Elden Ring has spells(ranged attacks) you can cheese a LOT of bosses with, summons and weapon arts that can also cheese bosses. You will STILL run across road blocks, but unless your gamer pride forces you to mano y mano, the more options you get make it more approachable, Such as using a big honking shield. Most of the times I kept getting my arse handed to me was because I was fighting something way too high level and refused to come back later when I was better leveled and equipped, do not fall for that trap.

I would not skip out on Elden Ring out of fear of it being too hard,

I think the bosses in Elden Ring are a lot less fun than Wukong. Delayed attacks that you can't intuitively dodge/parry, homing attacks where they turn super quick to hit you, reads your input and attacks you across the arena as soon as you chug a health potion, relentless attacks with no breathing room. Not to mention you don't have the moveset, unlike for instance Sekiro, to deal with it and instead you have to resort to cheese mechanics and/or summons.

I absolutely hate summons (ie: summon other players or spirits), it is a ♥♥♥♥ mechanic that is used as a bandaid for poorly thought out bosses.

Black Myth Wukong is way harder than Elden Ring because Elden Ring has balancing and is Fair. Even the last boss in the ER dlc is easyer to defeat than something like the yellow Wind sage in black myth wukong. Because its such an unbalanced mess. Maybe they did not quality test it or something. ER is so much easyer compared to black myth wukong.

Elden Ring is one of the easiest Souls games there is, simply by how many tools it gives you and how OP you can make your build. It still comes with the difficulties of being a Souls game but I'd say is a lot more accessible than earlier titles. Wukong is far easier than Souls games in my opinion but they are a different kind of difficulty that's hard to explain. Either way, Elden Ring is a masterpiece game and you'd be doing a disservice to yourself not giving it a try.
