The learning curve is steep starting out and every early fight feels like the enemies are hammering you in comparison to the damage you can put out. It totally turned around for me once I hit level 5, I never really struggled again after.

Also having started a new game, the beginning isn't as unapproachable as it seemed. Enemies still hit really hard but after knowing your way around all the mechanics (especially positioning, very important) it's not nearly so tough.

Don't forget you can lower the difficulty too, it's what it's there for. I know for some weird reason difficulty options have become kinda controversial (again, seemed like we were past it at one point) but it's much better than not playing the game at all.
