Absolutely no fucking way you played anything above the first few levels on acolyte difficulty. OP is a "hardcore" Souls player who got assmad when someone told him Ninja Gaiden is harder so he played just enough of it to "prove" to himself it wasn't so he could continue to be an edgy Fromdrone with his ego intact.
Here are some reasons why a Fromsoft fan might not like Ninja Gaiden
>It's a pure action game with no adventuring or exploration component.
>Combat is mostly about juggling multiple enemies than 1v1-ing bosses.
>It doesn't knowledge check you. You won't find a Stone of Labubu that gives you 80% resist to a boss's special attack. On the contrary, it's very explicit about the tools you have available to you.
>Standard skill curve. First levels are easy. Last levels are hard. You won't turn a corner and wind up in a late game area too early.
Now with that all being said, Ninja Gaiden on the harder difficulties is unquestionably a MUCH harder game than Elden Ring.
