And if the post game content is any indication, they lean almost too heavily in the opposite direction of "git gud, and fuck yourself" challenges. I'll never be able to do all of those and I fear the man who can.
They definitely ramped it up to the absolute breaking point of the combat system for the dlc. I used to feel similarly until I just decided to give it a serious try after unlocking all of the other achievements.
Once I did, I realized I truly didn't master (or fully appreciate) the game until I beat Absolute Radiance to finally get to 112%. Godhome and the Path of Pain being so hard make it apparent just how perfectly tight the controls are, as every death is always the player's fault. It ended up being some of my favorite content in the game, and I initially wrote it off completely.
(Edit. I still haven't beat Absolute Radiance on a playthrough that I saved Zote on, so I still haven't technically gotten everything on HK done. One of these days though. Maybe when I want a break from Silksong for a bit.)
I am also the kind of masochist to 100% every fromsoft game, NG2 etc. so take it for what it is worth.
