There’s a bunch of mods available for dark souls to make it easier e.g. not losing souls when dying etc. Haven’t tested them though.

Good. Don’t test them at all, and enjoy the cruel shared struggle that united men and women from ages past!
Don’t go hollow!

Yeah I’m playing unmodded dark souls. Still didn’t beat it, but I’m making (very slow) progress.

Literally, the difficulty is why I didn’t get past the first area. I don’t have time or want to get sweaty. If anyone can recommend some for casual players it’d be divine.

You can try WeMod. That’s what usually allows me to complete games, especially since I don’t have a lot of time and just want to have fun in the game after a very long work day!

I find their older titles more accessible because they were a bit lower budget, more experimental, and not trying so hard to cater to players who want the hardcore experience. That means the balance is all over the place, which can make the game stupidly hard if you just dive in unprepared. But it can also make the game fairly easy if you know how to cheese the bosses, where to find the OP gear, and what spots are good to quickly level up and just overpower the game. There’s nothing wrong with reading some wiki pages or watching videos ahead of time so you can play more optimally instead of floundering around and brute forcing your way through with an underpowered character.
Demon’s Souls can have long runs back when you die, but is extremely exploitable. DS1 can still be overleveled and you can sequence break to get OP gear, but there aren’t as many blatant boss exploits.
If you get really into it, you can always do challenge runs with certain restrictions, weapons, or builds. You can always make it harder to get the magic back - if the difficulty is part of the magic for you. If it’s not, then using strategy to make it easier is just improving your enjoyment.

Nothing wrong with adding difficulty options to a genre that’s been notoriously inaccessible to wide swathe of players. It doesn’t take anything away from the accomplishments of players who want to play on higher difficulties and only gives options to those who need or want to have difficulty options.
I’m hugely in favour of new soulslikes adding difficulty options and welcome them with open arms. Having options is always good. :)

Dark Souls 1 + Zweihander = pancakes everything
Elden ring + spirit summons* = 2v1 everything. *(its in the game. You’re allowed to use it. Its not cheating)

My cheese for DS1 was just getting up close to enemies with your shield up and getting round the back of them. You seemed to be able to shuffle faster than they could turn. Then backstab away.

In case you are serious: if a thing seems hard, you are at the wrong place. There is nothing stopping you from going to the late game right away.
Also accept getting killed by a jump scare from time to time.

Few posts back Sonic the hedgehog said real gamers are determined by their experience at taking a massive cock up the ass.

Off topic but I found Another Crab’s Treasure to be the perfect game to ease back into the genre. It has several modifiers to make it the experience more accesible such as increasing the parry window, removing dropping resources, and even giving Kril a gun - 10/10 experience would fish again

Elden ring is balanced, lets you avoid bosses, gives you tons of tools to deal with them and nonlinearity lets you level as much as you want before facing the real threats. You can pretty much make it through the game without having to get too good.
Of course, some bosses are quite difficult, but they are either avoidable or ver late game.
Also, you can always go for the Cheese Master 9000 of lances + shield.

Me beating the first boss before I figure out the game had a leveling system…
Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 hours ago
I think it’s Bloodborne that doesn’t even let you access the levelling system until you’ve encountered a boss.

I agree. I can’t play soul games but Rlden Ring is a lot easier. The nice thing is you can summon help from others. I asked help for the final boss.
