The max health reduction is a fake or cheap layer of difficulty.

In Dark Souls you are meant to die and learn from your own deaths but you can't really learn from your deaths when you die quicker because you have half of your health.

Wrong, because the gradual max HP reduction is supposed to make players less careless;
exactly because of the fact that took damage, which lead to their deaths in the first place.
I guess stuff like "New Game Plus" is also a cheap layer of difficulty too, I would guess.

At least in DS1 and 3 dodging was actually skill based and wasn't stat dependent like in this garbage of a game.

Yeah, spam B repeatedly to not die in DS1/DS3. You have to be strategic in this game, spamming rolls/attacks/parries will be punished pretty quickly.

Um, no?
You lose the benefits of your human form, your souls; and most importantly, your progress.

Circling and backstabs won't work in DS2 because most enemy encounters are 1v2/3 and even more and you don't have iframes during backstabs/ripostes.

Someone has never heard of Demon's Souls and Bloodborne.

Besides the effigy is useless once you get invaded the effigy has been wasted and you're back to reduced health at least ember did it better.
