Are souls games really as hard as everyone says? (self.gaming)

I want to play Bloodborne because quite frankly it looks really cool. I'm told the game is going to be way too difficult for me. I usually play games on standard or easy difficulty. Should I even bother? Is this game even going to be playable to a noob like me?

I don't mind learning. I suppose it's sort of like solving a puzzle. I'm used to horror games with puzzles so I'm used to thinking things through in games.

This isn't to say it's not a game that won't challenge reflexes if you let it. I think it's fair to say better reflexes in a souls like can serve to make a boss easier as you play more on the edge. Of course this takes having your game knowledge and pattern recognition on point.
