So I see you've played it for over 10 hours. How are your impressions so far? Is it better than the first? I'm enjoying the first one as we speak. Better than I expected really

The game is a bit on the easy side so far (playing on hard) but that might be because I am using some of the pre-order/DS1 achivement/register gear, and doing side quests. There is also no fall damage at all even when you fall into lava etc, which makes the platforming elements (which aren't especially hard) rather trivial. Tho I am still early game so that might ramp up. 

Overall it's a tonne of fun and a really great game so far.

That's a bit sad, and happens with all of these types of games. It's a huge problem for me personally. The more you like the game, the more you will want to explore, grind and do side-quests, but the price is a much less challenging experience. (it's a very difficult design problem, so I don't blame the developers)

Is there a harder difficulty than "hard"? And will NG+ open an even harder difficulty?

There is a NG+ not sure if it makes the game harder tho. There is a higher difficulty mode that unlocks after finishing the game but that has permadeath which is a bit too extreme for me lol.
