Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 are the only games where I felt like the areas were harder than the boss fight. The boss fight was often a culmination of a level with the level not just being filler between boss fights. The thing that hurts DaS2 for most people is that you're not invisible walking through fogwalls, opening doors, or opening chests. That makes it so you actually have to beat enemies.
