Short answer is yes you should play. I'm new to the party only had DS1 for about four days and I'm addicted, came here to find where the door to the depths is lol

It's hard yes but as said above take time to learn the tricks (and grind out some souls to level up) and it's very enjoyable to play, beating the big bosses gives huge satisfaction and not knowing what you'll find round the corner when exploring is such a thrill.
