I wish I was good at action games (let alone good enough to handle Fromsoft games) because the exploration sounds absolutely amazing and I'd love to be able to enjoy something so universally acclaimed

I really didn't find it a difficult game and I don't think I'm that great at action games either. As Mac pointed out, you can just leave any tough boss and come back any time later when they're a joke. The game's supposed toughest boss Malenia took me three tries. I had like close to 150 hours in the game (think I was 130ish upon beating it) so I took my absolute sweet time with it and was rewarded for exploring so much with a pretty breezy game. Actually the final boss was still tough for me though - significantly harder than any other besides the boss of Stormveil whose name I forget, which is tough because it's early on. Also I would go to grind spots later and you can spend just 10 minutes and level up a ton when you find certain ones. Obviously not particularly compelling gameplay doing that though, but it doesn't take long at all and is a surefire way to get OP.

I just can't recommend it enough and if you don't play it, don't let difficulty be the reason! The tensest thing about it is that you really can die almost any time, and when you're carrying a ton of runes in an unfamiliar area, that shit is scary (in the absolute best way).
