Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

In the sense of "do they require lightning fast reflexes or mastering a deep combat system", no not at all. They mostly require paying attention and learning.
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.
