I have serious doubts as to what the developers consider ‘frustrating’ considering the absurd precision needed to not take damage…. Even on ‘Story’ difficulty.

And this is exactly why I don’t consider it an RPG. It lacks many of the systems that make up an RPG and is far more heavily invested into the action and forcing you to learn the patterns. It’s more “Souls-like” than being a true RPG. Which initially put me off playing it, as I’m an RPG fan and not a Souls fan.

Um I love this game, but sometime it’s extremely frustrating.

“No frustrating deaths” if you’re a rhythm game or soulsborne expert maybe, I died maybe a couple hundred times to parries that I couldn’t read the telegraphs of.
