I think Ninja Gaiden takes a different kind of skill than Demon Souls.
In Ninja Gaiden, you have to know your combos and be able to execute them from various camera angles (Ninja Gaiden's camera was notoriously bad). It requires proper use of the combat space. Navigation of the space fluidly is also key to mastering the game.
In Demon Souls...it's more about learning patterns and exercising patience until you're comfortable with the fights, be it normal mobs or bosses. The enemies themselves aren't incredibly aggressive. The level design and enemy placement is more of the danger. You also have to manage stamina in addition to health, whereas in NG, you have basically unlimited stamina. So timing attacks, positioning and choosing your battles wisely is key in Demon's Souls.
Which one is harder? It's strictly subjective based on your personal gaming skills. If you've been a Devil May Cry master...Ninja Gaiden may come easier to you, than something slower and more methodical like Demon's Souls. Of Course, Demon's Souls is a first of it's kind, so its difficult to be prepared for that game in terms of skills. So, if PS5;s Demon's Souls is your first Souls game, you may very well see it as more difficult..
