Brother, SB is very doable on its original difficulty setting - this isn't Lies of P/First Berserker Khazan etc etc.
Maybe the 1st couple of hours where you're underpowered are tough (and that's where basically you have to play it as a Souls-y game) but after getting some moves/specials you'll start wrecking shit left and right.
It's still a beautiful looking game with some great exploration and chill music - nothing super-original mind you but good none the less.
You could do way, waaaaayyyy worse in choosing a game.
Super solid 7.5~8/10 title, I wholeheartedly suggest it to anyone that enjoys action adventure games.
I mean that is the extra challenge here right? I guess thats why Sony and Xbox make their women all so ugly so they cant be accused of their games being too difficult.
