Hardest From Software game is…

… I was not a gamer until a year ago. I enjoyed mostly cinematic games, until I played Elden ring. ER was fantastic, beautiful immersive game, despite I didnt understand a bit and I didnt even know how to play it as it was my first soulsborne game.

The next game I played was Sekiro. From the very begining I loved it and admired it for its combat mechanics as well as verticality. Sekiro was a great game, but once I got to ishin the sword saint and deamon of hatred, I gave up. After three months of playing I have not even once got to the second phase of DoH, or Ishin (Genichiro I beat). Both of these bosses have three phases, and I never managed to get to the seocnd phase after played the whole game kinda suck. I gave up. Recently I got back to it, and gave up again.

Still, I wanted to play more FS games, so I tried DS1. The game was cruel from the beginning, and very dated, a lot of dying a lot of going back. I said naah, I wanna play something more fun.

So I ended up with Bloodborne. At first O was afraid, because of its difficulty as well as 30 fps. During that 1 day I died zillion times, but the game and even dying is fun. I have already beat first three bosses and I enjoy it very much.

So to answer the headline: as of now, by far the hardest, cruelest and unforgiving FS game is Sekiro. It is so hard that it made me give up and stop caring. Even though I loved the game in the begining with 100+ hours, I dont care any more. Thats how hard it is.
