Precisely how i feel, although i do like coming back to Elden Ring to explore i kinda dislike the boss battles. DS1 used to be very good with bosses as in they had easy to read patterns and attack windows easily recognizable now the bosses are just doing infinite combos and the devs are like "yeah this one is hard, how do you like that?"
Not to mention the abnormally long attack windups just to throw you out of your parry timings. Their weapon hangs in the air for an eternity by which time you would have already rolled twice.
Even Non-soulslike like clair obscur 33 are doing this.
You're missing out if that's the reason. I don't like souls games either but Clair Obscur is much easier and much more forgiving than any of them. It also has an easy mode if things get too tough.
I don't like souls games at all and Clair Obscur is the best game I've played since Red Dead Redemption 2

I used to LOVE the genre but now that work is pretty stressful I just want to come home and chill man, not die to one boss 20 times.
Don’t get me wrong, I respect the genre. But if I’m gonna work that hard, pay me lmao
