The only problem is how do you do that? Flat number adjustments would help a little (although less than you'd think, since the player tends to be overkilled by combos rather than chipped just a little too much), maybe increasing the number of healing items the player gets so they're less worn down by attrition over a fight, but that's still going to leave something that's fundamentally a challenge. The core of the difficulty is about timing and learning responses to telegraphed moves, and I don't know how that can be fucked with in a way that wouldn't make them unintentionally harder (like in Elden Ring some of the trickiest timings are the ones where it's held for longer than usual so you end up getting caught dodging). Maybe increasing the iframes to make the timing more forgiving as long as someone reacts in time.

I'd rather they just fix the fucking controls though. Make a dedicated dodge button, give a proper item hotbar system, make the camera not actively fight against your inputs because it really wants to clip into a wall and blind you, that sort of thing. Add some QoL stuff like a journal to compile quest information so you can check it again later instead of just having to remember everything or look it up. The core of the modern games is fine where it is, it's all the deliberately inaccessible bullshit that's layered around that that's a problem. In Elden Ring, for example, there's only a small handful of fights you can't just faceroll if you're at the expected level for them - all the hardest fights are obscure optional ones, while the core story is all easy sailing so long as you aren't underleveled.
