AC6 and Nioh before Elden Ring

I tried Elden Ring when it first released, and it was my very first Soulsborne game. I reached Margit after dying 100 times along the way, died 100 more times to him, and then rage quit the game. I uninstalled it and swore I would never touch it again.

I've always been a fan of Armored Core, so I picked up the 6 on release day and finished it in a week (an outstanding game, I can't recommend it enough). After that, I took advantage of a promotion and grabbed Nioh 2, making it almost to the end.When I reached the final bosses of Nioh, I decided to give Elden Ring another try. It had been years, and I really wanted to see the full game...

This game is so easy (in a good way). What I first thought was impossible or unbalanced turned out to be a lack of skills on my part. AC6 and Nioh 2 are ridiculously more difficult than Elden Ring, but all three are incredible to play.

If you're having trouble with Elden Ring, try playing one of those two, then come back. The game will feel so much easier.

P.S.: I haven't finished Elden Ring yet; I just killed the Fire Giant. Although I always went under-leveled to the areas and bosses, no boss has really been difficult (I know Malenia is coming, and I know she's the most difficult FromSoftware boss of all time, but that's an exception).

Also, although the Elden Ring bosses seem easy, the environment is by far the hardest. I have no idea how many times I've died to those imps, dogs, or eagles...
