Even a goldfish did somewhat good.

I dont think the games are mechanically hard, just need a mentality shift compared to other games in that you cant get too greedy or expect the game to give you an easy out. Things like committing to an animation instead of being allowed to immediately cancel into a dodge is intentional.
Build choice can also matter, there are a bunch of one shot builds that arent too hard to get to early on and you can just press one button to win. Not to mention co-op letting you play with friends to get through spots.
Plus once a souls games clicks it ends up being quite manangeable until those dlc or post game areas where they make everyone a hp sponge like in elphael.
This is a good point as well. From games are often more puzzles than dexterity testers.
