If you've played the rest of the franchise, no it's actually the easiest. If you've never played a FromSoftware game before in your life, there's going to be an adjustment period where you find the game very difficult, because it's quite obtuse. It revels in putting a giant wall in your path to push you to explore and find ways to even out your fight. If you're willing to engage ER on it's own terms and really learn the systems, I don't really think there's any bosses along the critical path that I'd characterize as too difficult.

Now, some of the optional content and the DLC? Yeah that shit is hard af, but you are meant to only start tackling it after you've beaten the main plot.
