I've played DS1, DS3, and Sekiro, and thought ER was the easiest of those FROMSoft titles. Two of the biggest changes they made to facilitate that were to limit invasions to co-op play (unless you opt-in to be invaded solo) and Spirit Ashes for boss fights. It's still very difficult, but I think if you find a good walkthrough, like FightinCowboy, it makes the game a lot more approachable.
