Overall a very interesting game, definitely not porn though. It's EXTREMELY punishing with most enemies being able to insta-kill you based on a coinflip. That being said, there's always a way to reasonably survive. Like others said, avoid combat as much as possible in the early portions until you can one-hit most enemies through finding good gear and getting good companions. This game is unforgiving, but far from impossible, very similar to Dark Souls in that regard.
Gameplay aside, the lore is amazing and the atmosphere is top notch. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone who doesn't mind dying to learn the game. For all others, I'd recommend cheating by altering the savefile (you can save at the bed, though there's a coinflip for whether you'll be attacked by a late game enemy or not) to give you 99 savebooks.
