Is it really as Soulsborney as the guys from GS make it out to be? I don't see it myself but if it is in fact as difficult as those types of games then I might not be able to play this casually with my gf (although surely there's a difficulty setting before you embark on a mission?).
Game looks great based on that footage btw.
There is definitely some Soulsborne elements at play in the game, though that's not the entirety of the experience. That's not to say that difficulty is the main focus, but rather that thinking through your actions and not rushing headfirst into danger is kind of a necessity.
