Been having a blast playing the game on the third difficulty level and it's definitely kicked my ass a few times.
It's definitely harder than bloodborne in terms of how easily you can die but the non-existent punishment for dying basically lets you keep trying without issue, it's great.
Just thinking about the minute long reset for bosses on BB makes me shiver. I love the game to death but fuck that dumbass system of not having lanterns before boss fights.
