Elden ring is balanced, lets you avoid bosses, gives you tons of tools to deal with them and nonlinearity lets you level as much as you want before facing the real threats. You can pretty much make it through the game without having to get too good.
Of course, some bosses are quite difficult, but they are either avoidable or ver late game.
Also, you can always go for the Cheese Master 9000 of lances + shield.
