You basically just explained why this game is so great in your rant about it.
There is a certain thrill to the game when everything is "risky" with a chance to either lose hours or days of progress for making a mistake.
This experience is enhanced even more when you look at the direction that most video games went in order to "mitigate" this feature as if it were a fault that needed fixing.

I think the reason why games like Elden Ring are so successful is because they brought back this feature. I get it, it's not for everyone. It's slightly masochistic for sure...but it makes "victory " so much sweeter.
But I can play Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin just fine and know everything about that game. You don't have to read anything. But in this game you don't know where to start where to buy and what to buy. It's really complicated while Dark Souls isn't really.
