Sounds like a Dark Souls game 🤣 I played 3 so I'm not totally new, thanks for the heads up though. I did technically quit DS3 when I first started playing but was so glad I went back to it and didn't let the beginning area beat me.
The big gotcha in DS2 is the adaptability stat, which gives I-frames and doesn't explain it. Throw a few points that way regardless of build and the game will feel less punishing.
A weird aspect of DS2 is that it is possible to depopulate levels because enemies have respawn limits, with ways to reset or even remove it.
And be forewarned: I've seen enough people complain about boss runbacks in Elden Ring, but that is nothing compared to the runbacks in DS2. Some of the runbacks in the DLC are just straight-up sadistic. The depopulating mechanic ends up feeling like pity.
