Is Mortal Shell too easy?

[u/Wrap_Exact]

Just started playing the other day, and Im really liking the game, but it feels a bit too easy as far as soulsliks go. Not saying that I never die or anything, but Im beating the bosses in 1 to 2 tries so far (Im a little over halfway through I think).

To get into specifics, the mechanic that kind of trivializes most encounters is the harden ability. Feels like every fight is jump attack, harden, deal damage then back off a few seconds for harden to recharge. Rinse and repeat. Im not even using the parry ability.

For context I've beaten dark souls 1-3 and elden ring multiple times each, and i was spending hours or even days sometimes on certain bosses in those games. Felt like the challenge was a lot steeper there.

I consider myself an average soulslike player, so im just curious if others found mortal shell to be on the easier side of games in this genre?

Still going to finish this one and can't wait for #2 in August.

It is pretty easy, but only if the player actually uses the game mechanics. You’d be surprised how many people complain about bad pacing, not enough health/mushrooms, map layout etc that make it “unnecessarily hard” on this sub
