I heard a bunch of people say that Lies of P is extremelly hard, and sometimes even too hard. I've also heard people say it's very similar to Sekiro.

I love the souls series, and that's mainly because I enjoy the challenge of them, but I thought sekiro was really fucking easy. If you had even a semblance of timing, or rhythm, then there's no difficulty to talk about. Like you wouldn't even have to learn the bosses moveset, because it's basically just keep hitting until you see a spark and then parry a bit later than you'd think.

So basically, is Lies of P actually really hard, for someone who found Sekiro super easy, but the other souls games actually challenging.

edit: for clarification I actually want a challenge

Many say Sekiro is the hardest Souls-like, but I found it very easy, as well as all the other Souls games. However, Lies of P is giving me a lot of headaches; I can't beat the bosses without using specters, and I even feel a little bad about it. I don't know if my build is bad (after all, I'm rushing to finish it before it leaves Game Pass), but I found it the hardest Souls-like I've ever played.
