Honestly? no. it's dark souls inspired, and plays like one, but it isn't anywhere near as punishing, invincibilty frames are through the roof, enemies are super slow to swing, and your dodge gets well out of reach of basically everything. Only bosses will offer some level of challenge, but that only applies to afew anyway. Only complaint, somewhat easy to get lost. especially as areas keep expanding and theres no objective markers or anything letting you know what new thing or area you need to go to.
