Like others have said, it is definitely a Souls game. The difficulty is probably a bit more Demon's than Dark (so harder for newcomers) but if you have played them before it will feel like you never left.
Good mix of mechanics from Demon's and Dark like leveling up with one person but still having bonfires dotted around. Fast travel from the get go was a pleasant surprise. It also feels like it punishes you more for dying as Effigies are scarce and losing health every death makes it harder to progress, which will put new players off (maybe) but feel great for veterans of the series.
Probably going to buy the PC version when that is released and if it ever comes to PS4 I will pick it up again as the Dualshock 3 actually feels like a massive downgrade from the Dualshock 4 now and I did try and use the DS4 with the PS3 but there was some input lag that made the game ever harder and I wasn't quite feeling that challenge.
