This is an excellent game, but don't get me wrong, it's not at all easy. This game is about challenge, and what really makes it great is the way you fight. Getting hit is actually whatever it might be actually hitting your character. It's not like some RPGs where you press a button and it says 40 damage to other player.

A spell, arrow, bolt (crossbow), or sword all alike will need to physically hit your character. This is where the real fun comes in.

Do you dodge? Hold up your shield? Try to hit first? Maybe you can even time a Parry, then hit the other guy for a lot of damage.

It is HARD, it is unforgiving, but it's not impossible. It's challenging, and it's worth it.

Nevermind the awesome atmosphere, the variety of monsters, the different challenges as you go on..

If you haven't played earlier in the series, I recommend starting Dark Souls: Prepare to die Edition, and don't forget to get DSFIX to fix some visual issues with that game.
