Pfft. Wolong, and I'm not being hyperbolic, is at the very least 10x easier than Nioh 2. I'm playing grand and get the systems albeit I don't get the burst counter, I use it but something won't click in my brain to get it right. The Human enemies are no problem, I just beat a mission where it was mainly humans and it was easy. It's the Yokai, they are brutal to take down and just... Well brutal. I see a lot of people saying this is easier than Nioh 2 cause of the abilities but I don't see it or something isn't clicking. I find it in the range of 5x harder plus you're always under leveled and there's nothing good to farm. I'm 7 levels under the recommended for missions but sure when I am leveled it feels like I'm not stronger. I cleared Wolong and barely died apart from a few bosses but I had online help for those. Maybe a death every other mission. I've in the hundreds of times so far and I'm barely half way through the game. What did you build as? I'm settled on a magic Switch glaive build, but a few points into other stuff for beefier armour and ecoumberance limit. Working on getting my health pool up at the moment. 

I suppose magic will take awhile to come online, but it is one of the stronger builds. When you get a few spells, it might become a cakewalk in contrast.

I was a 2h axe build, very easily breaking the posture of even the demons. I had a bit of trouble until the snake boss, but after that it became easier.

Yeah, it is starting to get easier. Magic spells are actually doing damage now and sword buffs are starting to become meaningful plus I can hold enough of them for them to be worth using on most enemies to level the playing feuld a bit. The last session I had last night was one of few deaths and more control over enemies in comat. The first 50 levels of the game felt like nothing was getting stronger and I was getting by just willing myself to persevere. Glad I stuck with it, never seen a difficulty curve that steep in a soulsborne before.
