It's considered one of the hardest modern games available and rewards smart thinking. If you play it like God of War then you will die, a lot, and fast. It requires slow, methodical movement and technique. You have to sort of re-write what you understand about RPG/action combat in games, re-program your brain into a new way of playing. It's hard to explain, but it's an amazing game.
Here's a few quotes on it from wiki that pretty much explain the reason why it's so good:

The challenging nature of the game provides a foundation of achievement and reward, reinforced by penalties upon player death

The combat is precise and crisp, it's pin-point. You swing only when you know you can hit and if you have enough time to shield up and dodge away. Normal enemies that walk around can kill you in 2-3 hits, and by normal enemies I'm talking fodder you would normally kill 50 of in a group in any other game going from room to room. Bosses normally 2 shot you.
The difficulty is skill based, not cheap. If you properly learn the attacks of enemies, learn your weight/roll speed/weapon type (very important things), and fight smart, you can normally have no problems with normal enemies and should only be fully challenged by bosses.
It's a system that rewards learning and playing intelligently, and penalizes any mistakes, I'm talking 1 mistake 2 minutes into a boss fight and you are dead, it's extremely rewarding and a great challenge.
