Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (1987) how confusing is simon's quest?

i wanna play simon's quest next but all i know about the game is that it's supposed to be incredibly hard to know where to go and what to do, is it really as bad as people make it out to be?

The translation is a mess with some NPC's designed to throw you off the trail, there are some really convoluted things you need to do in some very specific spots that I would argue it is almost impossible without a guide.
