Elden Ring is the easiest one of these games by far, you don’t have to play it the “hard way”. If you want to get through the game just play a sorcery build and level up a bit. With summons you’ll be able to get through many bosses without even getting hit.
Definitely agree on easiest so far. The checkpoints are much more forgiving and summoning doesn’t take any resources. Also with the horse, you have a lot of escape options. With those QOL improvements alone it makes it a lot easier.
