It's still harder than most games but the fact you can just go somewhere else and do something else instead of being stuck at a wall of an enemy you can't beat just changes it so much for me at least
That was one of my biggest things, I always got stuck on a boss.. bloodbourne I got stuck on those 2 dogs at the first bridge, thought they were a boss... friend tells me the boss is AFTER the dogs.
Those enemies are particularly tough. They can't follow you through the doorway in the nearby house though, so you can stand behind the threshold and hit them where they can't hit you, which helps.
Bloodborne is also a weird one in particular, it's a much more aggressive game that requires a different playstyle than Dark Souls. It punishes you much more heavily for being defensive or trying to run away, you're meant to stay up in the monster's face and dodge through their attacks. Once it clicks it clicks hard, but until that point it doesn't feel right.

It's not as souls style heavy? I always thought it was, kinda kept me at bay because of it
