This one kind of flew under the radar for me back when it came out but with all the hype surrounding the sequel, it seemed like a great time to play the first game ($30 USD).

Definitely have never played an RPG quite like it. It’s extremely difficult for me so far but not in a rage-inducing way, more like I keep dying because I’m playing it like Skyrim. It feels like a slow burn type of game, where the more time I invest in my character, the stronger he’ll become and the more enjoyable the game will be.

Anyone else playing the first game right around now?

Try to use the combat skills you've unlocked instead of spamming thrust.

General combat advice:

Train your battle skills with Bernard(?) at the training ground. Both to get some XP and to learn some important moves other than spamming thrust.
Master stroke (?) is a really useful riposte move which will make things a lot easier.
In general, avoid taking on more than one opponent until you're well-armored
Use the right weapon, ideally a type you've both trained with and which is effective against your type of foe, e.g. warhammer for armoured foes.
