Yes yes yes yes, magnificent game, it is indeed hard but if a boss is being too overwhelming you almost always have the option to go to a different place and upgrade your things or train yourself, the story is pretty good, the gameplay is magnificent and the difficulty is perfect.
The biggest tip I can give for you if you are going to play this is: this game is a lot more about blocking and parrying than it is about dodging.
