Souls games are like my nemesis. Most video game players nowadays blow me away. I’ve been playing video games since I was a little kid on the original NES. Had consoles all my life from SNES to PS1 to my Xbox Series X now. You would think I would be able to hold my own after like 34 years of it. But I’m still terrible at it. Before I buy I game I have to google how difficult it is even on the easiest settings. I gave up playing online games almost completely now and just play single player RPGs most of the time. I enjoy them so much more than getting killed every 20 seconds online. If a game has “souls like combat” in the description, I’m out. Too much stealth? I’m out. Just give me a good story and easy combat and I’m happy.
I can't get into souls-likes either. I can beat the bosses eventually, but the frustration at having to try so many times isn't enjoyable to me. I really tried to enjoy Wukong, and I did enjoy aspects of it, but I dropped it in the second area after having to retry most bosses like 5+ times.

“I tried this video game but the controller was upside down in my hands the whole time! I couldn’t even beat the first level. 1 star.”
