yes, easily yes
people who call it "parry" are just trying to brag as elite gamers.
you press block, and if you do it at the right time it becomes "deflection", which means you damage enemy posture.
if you block "too early", it becomes simply a regular block. you take no health damage, but posture damage. and to "heal" posture damage you just have to sit back and hold your guard and it disappears in 2-3 seconds.

the "real" parries are mikiri counters for enemy thrust attacks, and jumping over enemy sweep attacks.
both of these have a visual/audio red alert.

imagine having dark souls alert you of when you need to press the parry button to parry, and calling it hard.

if you beat malenia and radahn, you can very easily beat sekiro.
