Demon's Souls remake as a first souls game?

Never played any FromSoftware game. Demon's Souls is on sale for PS5. Is it a decent place to start, or will I bounce off and should I try Elden Ring first? I'm not great at hard games but willing to learn.

it works as a first one. shorter than the others, and the worlds are separate, so if one area is wrecking you, you can go try a different one. the remake looks and runs great too. the catch is world tendency and the lower max health you get after dying, both explained badly by the game. spend five minutes reading about those two before you start and it'll feel far fairer.
