Easier difficulty settings/assists

I only looked at the trailer, liked what I saw and did not want any spoilers before the EA.
Once I started to play it I saw that it has many soulslike elements and liked this, what I am dissapointed is the fact that it also has some other features that just mess with the experince of the game, those features being durability and healing with food, I explained here why I don’t like those features Opinions after finishing Chapter 1
I would still be interested in the game even if it did not have soulslike elements and I would also still hate those 2 features.
