Hi @reverendrum 😊 I think CodeVein is easier than Dark Soul because you have the help of AI. You can use it to take the aggro, which means that you have less tension in combat. Also by finding "the mistletoes" unlock a part of the map, which greatly facilitates the exploration. Even that, I'm a noob player and I'm dying many times in easy zones 😆😆

I wish you a good day!!
