If you mean the current console game (PS4/XB1/Steam) and not the 3DS or upcoming AoT2 console game, then you should be fine on Easy difficulty. I suck at most games that require split second decision-making, but I was able to finish it.

AoT's controls are fairly casual friendly (as long as there aren't too many Titans around, which there won't be on a main story level). You don't have manually target where on a Titan you'd like to grapple. You're given a selection of attachment points based on line of site, and then once you confirm your choice, the game automatically reels you in so you can attack. If you fall down on the ground, no big deal. You can grapple straight to the neck of most Titans even from the ground (unlike the anime).

You do more damage if you boost yourself along the way in, and when I went through the Tutorial I thought there was no way I'd ever boost, that the automatic reel-in was good enough for a clutz like me. But I got the hang of it. Mind, I did the Tutorial 2-3 times before I felt confident about what I was doing, but the Tutorial is against the training dummies so there's no pressure while you learn, and you can replay it as much as you need to get comfortable. Once I got the controls down I had a lot of fun.

Late game optional missions can get ridiculous, and it will be hard to get all the trophies/achievements, but if you're just concerned about the main story you should be fine on Easy.
