It is the most linear of them all. Only thing you can do is wack Martha to take on blade dancer early to access Upper Lothric but you are cockblocked from progressing at the library entrance. The bastards even force you to take a detour to the cathedral to grab a stupid doll to enter Irithyll. Even the coolest area (Archdragon Peak) is locked off until you can get to a spot in Irithyll dungeon after a trip to Consumed King's Garden in Upper Lothric.

Yeah you're right actually, that's fair enough. DS1 is the most open non-open world game of all and DS2 at least lets you see most paths through to the end.

I do still like the option of early Dancer for the extra gear it opens up, though. The early DLC placement leading directly into the end game DLC is also an interesting bit of freedom if you're up for the challenge.

I'm surprised that there's still people out there who think Soulsborne games are hard. Try platinuming Trials Fusion, Super Meat Boy or Cuphead, these are hard games. FromSoft games, from Demons Souls to Elden Ring, are grindy at best, but definitely not hard.

Mate, I wouldn't say Bloodborne is easy. It may not be the hardest game ever made, but it's definitely difficult.

Either that or I'm just shit at games.
