Bought the game yesterday and I'm stuck on the Noble near the start. I see others at in the same situation and I am taking their advice, going back to grind mobs etc.

The biggest difficulty curve for me is how I can never seem to anticipate enemies attacks, meaning I either get hit or have to be so cautious I'm just not getting hits in. I've played DS3 and Elden Ring multiple times and I would say, whilst you still need to learn moves especially for bosses, the enemies in those games telegraph their moves very well. The animation style is based around clear, exaggerated movements, just their weapon being pulled back slightly or the way they position their hands or arms is enough to "remind" you of their next move. There seems to be much less of this in Black Myth, attacks seem to come out of nowhere with little or no wind up frames.
