Most of these games were extremely linear, low budget and ugly graphics this is why i said AAA gaming now is more challenging. I'm sure you can find a ton of indie game that are extremely challenging as well. i'm talking about games with mass appeal and descent  budget.

You can look at many publications  lists for difficult games  almost all have sekiro/souls as most challenging games in the top 5 and many games from 8th gen.

Found a nice sample here most challenging games of all time with 33k votes and sekiro gets number 1. Most votes in the top 10 are 8th gen votes.

Except God of war started on the ps2 and back then had God mode.  Difficult games are not new.

And people tend to remember the most recent games.  I can assure you Sekiro isn't harder than MDK2.  

As someone who started gaming on the NES and has beaten every souls game solo at least 7 times...  games haven't gotten harder.  

Go give Actraiser 2 a play.  Check out Contra 3 on the hardest difficulty.  

Jak isn't an easy game, another ps2 title from Naughty Dog.  

The old armored core games are harder than the new ones.  

Edit

Or go toss the original Halo on legendary....  way, way, way harder than souls.  And that was a massive AAA big budget game. 

MGS2 on the hardest difficulty is harder than souls.  

I have started gaming during  nes as well. I disagree with you. Bloodborne and sekiro were the hardest games ever for me while being fun. I have also beaten halo on legendry it was a very fun and balanced experience no way was it harder then bloodborne and sekiro for me. Of course bloodborne was my first souls game.  I have beaten ninja gaiden 1 and 2 nes as well, no save states and ninja gaiden 3 using a save states.  I never played MGS 2 on hardest difficulty though as the gameplay is boring to be honest after you get past the graphics and being blown away the gameplay ain't great, MGS5 shits on the whole series gameplay wise. most of nes games ain't hard once you use save states like i said thats just cheap hard and shouldn't count cause it's not fun.

you seem to be really good at souls games for most people including many publications  they are the hardest games. 

Also GOW was a button masher, i played it on ps2 and didn't enjoy it. later i played GOW3 on ps3 put on hardest setting that were available and you can button mash your way through the whole thing.
