    Müthiş, combat tatmini olarak oynadıklarımın en iyilerinden birisi ve kesinlikle oynadığım en zor oyun. Final boss'u yenmem 7 saatimi aldı ve ancak cheese'leyerek, namertçe dövüşerek kesebildim. Ancak bundan önce oynadığım tek soulslike oyun olan Bloodborne'la kıyaslayacak olursak bazı eksileri yok değil.

    En büyük eksisi atmosferi. Bloodborne oynarken adım başı nasıl ilginç yaratıklar    Müthiş, combat tatmini olarak oynadıklarımın en iyilerinden birisi ve kesinlikle oynadığım en zor oyun. Final boss'u yenmem 7 saatimi aldı ve ancak cheese'leyerek, namertçe dövüşerek kesebildim. Ancak bundan önce oynadığım tek soulslike oyun olan Bloodborne'la kıyaslayacak olursak bazı eksileri yok değil.

    En büyük eksisi atmosferi. Bloodborne oynarken adım başı nasıl ilginç yaratıklar karşıma çıkacak, ne biçim mekanlara gireceğiz diye korka korka ve büyük bir merak içerisinde oynuyordum. Sekiro'nun elbette böyle bir amacı yok ama beni kendisine hayran bırakacak bir atmosfer sunamadı.

    Oyunun ana dövüş mekaniği parry. Düşman saldırılarını son anda kılıcınızla blocklayarak dayanıklılığını bitirmeye çalışıyorsunuz. Dayanıklılığı bitince de tek yiyor zaten. Düşman ve onların saldırı şemalarının çeşitliliği göz önüne alındığında bu iş o kadar da kolay değil. Parry'yi erken yaparsanız sizin dayanıklılığınız normalden çok daha fazla gidiyor. Geç kalırsanız da canınız. Parry Bloodborne'da çok opsiyoneldi ve yapması gerçekten zordu, boss savaşlarında neredeyse hiçbir işe yaramıyordu. Parry yapmadan Bloodborne çok rahat biter ancak Sekiro'da mümkün değil, oyunun direk temel dövüş mekaniği. Ki bir savunma hareketinin temel dövüş mekaniği olması biraz ilginç. Ancak gerçekten de Sekiro'da savunma yaparak düşmanlarınızı yeniyorsunuz. Neredeyse her zaman düşmanlarınızın canlarından önce dayanıklılıkları bitiyor.

    Oyunda sadece bir tane temel silahımız var. Protez kolunuzu benim gibi sıklıkla kullanmıyorsanız bu durumun dövüşlerin tekdüze geçmesine neden olduğunu düşünebilirsiniz ama değil. Zira Bloodborne'un da yüzde 80'ini tek kılıçla oynadım ve bunun gibi onun da düşman ve o düşmanların pattern çeşitliliği vardı. Bu sayede tek kılıçla oynamanın eksisi hiç hissedilmiyor.

    Kaldı ki protez kolla yapılabilen birçok şey var. Bunları dilediğiniz gibi çeşitli kullanabilirsiniz. Bunun yanında yetenek puanıyla gelişen, oynayışınızı o kadar derinden etkilemese de bir kaç çeşitlilik sağlayan skilleriniz var. Bunları protez kolla beraber kullanabileceğiniz combo'lar yaratabiliyorsunuz.

    Oyunda çok sayıda boss ve mini boss var. Miniboss'ların çoğu ve boss'ların da 1-2 tanesi kendisini tekrar ediyor. Ancak bunun bir sorun olduğunu söyleyemem. Özellikle seven ashina spears mini boss'unun beni çoğu ana boss'tan daha çok zorladığını söylemeliyim. En çok zorlandığım boss'lar ise isshin sword saint ve guardian ape oldu. Son boss'u elbet keseceğim belliydi, sonuçta oraya kadar gelmişim bırakmak olmaz ama guardian ape'te bir ara rage quit attım ve hile açmayı düşündüm. Bari etrafı gezeyim dedim ve mortal blade'i buldum. Gerçekten onurumu kurtardı.

    Ölmek ve onun cezalandırılmasında da farklılıklar var. Bir kere tekrar doğabiliyorsunuz. Bunun yanında can iksirleriniz kendiliğinden yenileniyor. Bu da Bloodborne'daki gibi tekrar tekrar öldüğünüz boss savaşlarına ara verip can iksiri satın almaya yetecek para biriktirmek için grind yapmanızı engelliyor. Ancak Sekiro'da ölmek paranızın ve tecrübe puanınızın bir kısmının temelli gitmesi anlamına geliyor. Bir de öldükçe hastalık yayılıyor ve hastalanan npc'lerle konuşamıyorsunuz.

    Sekiro, Bloodborne'a göre bir tık daha fazla hikaye anlatıyor. Kim kimdir, amacı nedir biraz daha anlıyorsunuz ama normal oyunlardaki gibi apaçıklık yine yok.

    Sekiro en zoruydu dedim ama o kadar da emin değilim. Ne olursa olsun bu oyunda kendini korumanın birden çok yöntemi var. Hiçbir şey yapamasan block'luyorsun.

    Bir de bu oyuna alışmak Bloodborne'dan daha kolay geldi bana. İkinci souls oyunum olduğundan ya da parry mantığı çok benzer olan Ghost of Tsushima'yı yeni oynadığımdan olabilir.
    Neyse sonuçta bir zamanlar hayatta oynayamam dediğim iki oyunu bitirdim. Keyifliydi.

    Bloodborne'da eksikliğini çok hissettiğim öldürdüğün boss'larla tekrar kapışma özelliği Sekiro'da var ama tekrar dövüşmek istediğim bir boss (biri hariç) olmadı. Bence boss savaşı epikliği bloodborne'da daha iyi. Sekiro'da genelde kendi boyutumuzda insanları dövüyoruz çünkü.    … Expand

    While some found the more linear design of Sekiro to be a detriment, I found it easier to engage with than the overly-complex RPG elements of the other titles, making it seem, at least to me, that the bosses and encounters were more approachable and curated - which significantly cut down on the grind game that was somewhat prominent other titles.    … Expand

    Very fun game that is not for the faint of heart. As usual for Souls game, You will grind deaths lots and lots. But the controls are very responsive and for a game that requires precise targeting it is a godsend, and it is very rewarding once you have mastered it. I have to unlearn some stuff from Dark Souls series though because this one plays quite differently, in a good way.

And this is not meant to be punishment to the player, this is actually what makes the game rewarding. The feeling after beating last boss in Sekiro and beating last boss in Elden Ring is incomparable.

The atmosphere is simply amazing.

    The combat is the most unique that I've seen, and it differs dramatically from other FromSoft games as well as most games on the market. Instead of whittling down a massive health bar, Sekiro demands precise aggression to break the opponent's poise. Fights feel extremely skill-based, and bosses that feel impossible at first try can be a breeze once you figure out how to defeat them. The combat is very focused on human enemies, however, and while the game attempts to deviate from them with certain beast-like enemies, I felt that they didn't quite fit into the combat system.

    Overall, everything about Sekiro is absolutely stunning; its setting, its music, its atmosphere, and its combat. The story may be somewhat cryptic but there's a sense of sheer awe that's difficult to describe that holds true throughout the entire game. It's personally one of my top games of all time, and I think everybody who has the ability to experience it has to do it in their lifetime.    … Expand

The game is based on parring and blocking instead of dodging, and in my opinion it's a great change. The game may seem like it has very little mechanics and options in it at the start. But there are a lot of skills, techniques and gadgets which make it so that you can experiment in a lot of ways. As I mentioned before the game is not so easy, but it's also not notoriously difficult. The play time is well balanced, so that it is not too short nor too long with average time to beat the game about 30 hours. If you are a player that likes challenges as well as swordsman fights with the dodge mechanic excluded, making it a whole new experience then this is the game for you.… Expand

    The gameplay was really fun, I love high octane, fast-paced gameplay and this certainly did deliver. Although I only figured out the combat system, on the 25% mark and after that, everything was smooth sailing, I barely struggled on bosses or mini-bosses. the only thing I was really bad at was beast bosses/mini-bosses, especially    My first written review of a game so this will be horrible

Although I only figured out the combat system, on the 25% mark and after that, everything was smooth sailing, I barely struggled on bosses or mini-bosses. the only thing I was really bad at was beast bosses/mini-bosses, especially the demon of hatred. That boss was the hardest thing I have ever done in a video game, though that might change. I didn't struggle with the final boss that much like everyone else did, I was at 19 vitality, and I believe 13 attack power. I'm confident in saying that I am GOOD at deflecting. Part is thanks to the Genichiro fight, I struggled with it probably the most at first just cause it was so early in the game and after I became more aggressive with my deflects and didn't step dodge everything like in the other soul's games I pretty much immediately won the fight. And also, the gameplay is different from soulsborne games, different enough to not be a soulsborne game but a souls-like, it has different mechanics like prosthetics and ninjutsu, special moves, and other stuff and I really liked every one of the mechanic Really solid gameplay this game has to offer. Top-notch

    The story, ah yes the story. This will contain spoilers so beware if you at all care about them. I enjoyed the story, the story wasn't deep and "edgy" as dark souls story, and you didn't have to search that deep to get the gist of it but none the less it was really enjoyable. I love storytelling where you have to find it yourself, on your own time. But the surface-level story was also really good. I really love how midgame and endgame the main area Ashina outskirts and Ashina castle get changed from a city to a brunt down battlefield There is a total of 4 endings, on my first playthrough, I chose the immortal severance ending, the ending where you break the iron code, kill your father and sever the ties of immorality by killing Kuro, which was really moving and sad, cause im a big dunce and didn't catch on that I will have to kill Kuro, if I knew, I still would've followed the ending cause I thought it was the right thing to do. Before I completed the game I thought there would be two endings, maybe one secret one but I was too committed to the ending I aimed for. I have played this game only once, and I don't know what happens in the other ending but I heard that the return ending is the "good" ending or more accurately the best ending. I have a dilemma with fighting/killing human opponents. For example, I really didn't want to kill the owl, I was hoping there was a mercy option but after I had to kill him he said something along the lines of, "well-done son/wolf" and that was very moving to me, same goes for Lady butterfly, I didn't know she was wolfs mentor while fighting her but when she said "you've grown wolf" in the last moments of her life I felt like **** A really solid story.

    What else, oh yeah the visuals. I don't have a good pc, but since sekiro and every fromsoftware game is well optimized "despite having so many areas rendered". I could run it on medium-high settings, and despite not playing on max setting, the game looks **** incredible, probably because I have never played a 2019 triple a game. I was watching a gameplay video of sekiro and they played on I believe max settings it looked incredible, like so good, especially the lighting.

    And now, my final point the difficulty, the main marketing of souls-like games. And sekiro is hard, really hard just like any other soul like, but most of it is fair difficulty and also fun challenges. There is one mini-boss that I absolutely despise and cannot refight him ever and that's headless, I don't think the fight is fun it's cheap mechanics and overall the terror abnormality is a pain in the ass, just like the other variants of it in the souls borne franchise. Almost every single move your opponent makes is perfectly telegraphed and you know what to do, but sometimes if you panic you button mash and get gravely injured.

    I don't really know how to end this review but I have to say, this game is good, really good. Not my favorite but up there in my top 10.

    Great swordplay, the human bosses are the best.

    I wish the game had some customizing options for armor, swords and etc.
    Therefore, in my opinion, although Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice absolutely deserved the GOTY award, but I think it could be way better than this, if some features were added.

    However, the essence still remains the same, be patient until you find a loophole for 1 or 2 attacks every 30 seconds to a few minutes.

    The most different thing is not choosing your stats, like strength and etc because everything is done automatically, so if you don't want to keep thinking about these build things it's great. The setting, and bosses, are extremely striking too.

    Only complaint is the huge delay to get experience at the end of the game, if you want to get all skills you will probably find yourself farming experience in the same place for hours and hours.

    The game at first seems much more difficult than it seems, however, when you understand how the game works (towards the end, or in an NG+) it ends up becoming a "walk in the park with grandma" once you understand all mechanics.    … Expand

    Эта игра незаслуженно получила игру года и такие высокие оценки со стороны критиков. и сейчас я постараюсь убедить в этом и вас.
    Начнем с плюсов "Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice", которых я нашел не много:
    1. Это визуальный стиль игры. Сюда входит оформление инвентаря, рельеф местности, дизайн персонажей, для кого-то может понравится и музыка. 2. Озвучка персонажей.

    1. Это визуальный стиль игры. Сюда входит оформление инвентаря, рельеф местности, дизайн персонажей, для кого-то может понравится и музыка.
    2. Озвучка персонажей. Приятно услышать оригинальную озвучку для Японского сеттинга.
    На этом плюсы для меня кончились, и начинаются минусы.
    1. Боевая система. Игра намеренно заставляет нас играть через блок и парирование, но как к этому относиться серьезно если враг больше нас в 5 раз и его оружия размером с дом? Логично было бы уворачиваться от таких врагов, но увы это не так. И конечно же бесконечная полоска здоровья, игра как бы намекает, что ты должен играть так как хочет разработчик и сносить полоску выносливости врага.
    2. Отзывчивость "Секиро". Протагонист ощущается как медленный кусок груши для битья. Блок и парирование он ставит на 1 секунду позже нажатия на кнопку, что в таких играх просто несправедливо по отношению к игроку. Увороты в игре сломаны и лучше их вообще не использовать, враг с большей вероятностью попадет в вас.
    3. Камера. Самый сильный босс в этой игре это ваша камера, которая работает еще хуже чем в серии "Dark souls". Постоянные залеты за текстуры и за врага. И что самое веселое это то что самые сложные бои происходят в узких локациях.
    4. Веревка. Я правда не понимаю как она работает. В одних и тех же ситуациях ты можешь притянуться, а можешь и не притянуться. Видимо это известно лишь самому мастеру Миядзаки.
    5. Интерес. В игру абсолютно не интересно играть и исследовать мир. Если в "Dark souls" мы искали различные оружия, которые имеют свои мувсеты, искали заклинания и экипировку со своими уникальными эффектами. То тут мы всегда находим леденцы и бесполезные используемые предметы. Лишь изредка мы будем натыкаться на действительно интересные вещи, такие как новые техники и новые протезы.
    6. Прыжки. Прыжки сделаны в лучших традициях FromSoftware, то есть через заднее место. Персонаж очень часто будет прыгать туда куда вы не хотите.
    Несмотря на то что игру я считаю плохой, я советую вам поиграть в нее и убедиться в этом самим, либо же убедиться для себя в обратном.    … Expand

    Nice and interesting story. Deep atmosphere. The concept with immortality, the consequences of resurrection, different types of immortality - generally delighted. I've seen stories like this in the books, but I haven't played one myself. The combat system makes you suffer wildly at the beginning. To sweat in the middle, even on simple enemies.    I love and hate this game at the same time))
    Nice and interesting story. Deep atmosphere. The concept with immortality, the consequences of resurrection, different types of immortality - generally delighted. I've seen stories like this in the books, but I haven't played one myself. The combat system makes you suffer wildly at the beginning. To sweat in the middle, even on simple enemies. And to fight like a real warrior with a katana in the end... but with bosses and mini-bosses, it's a little more difficult. They are all interesting and varied, but after Nioh, there is a deeper variety missing, not just different two samurai with different move-sets for example. Therefore, I was happy to fight the dead and monsters in this game.
    This is a very unconventional game in terms of gameplay. We can say that this is some kind of experiment, or "test of the pen" in new mechanics. The fighting in this game is a real test of reaction and attentiveness. You can pick the enemy for a long time and persistently. Most likely he will kill you, but it can be that you can win too. However, the main feature of battles here allows you to parry attacks, knocking down concentration and killing him by inflicting only one hit in health - a fatal hit(or two on bosses).
    ...
    And now what annoyed me or pissed me off:
    1) Oscars for the most bugged bosses of all time(After so much time, many bosses can be beaten to death by corny revealing weaknesses of... developers and testers, and not the bosses themselves). Some of them were repaired, but the most - still can be used.
    2) I do not know if this is a bug or such an idea, but a couple of times I have come across a wildly illogical thing, like, for example, a Shichimen in a palace hits with his beam through a mountain!!! to the other side of the water stream.
    3) Periodically, the fixing on the enemy/target flies cancel. It's not f***g cool when, in the middle of a fight, you simply lose a fixed target and instead of going around him in a big arc, you suddenly start running towards his strong attack.
    4) Very often the enemy ignores the petards when starting his attack. And no, it's not an enemy with resist to petards, because they work more often on that enemy, but this often happened.
    5) A mini-boss ninja the sewers(where game started) - It's just disgusting spitting at the players to make a dexterous and fast mini-boss in an extremely meager room with almost opaque walls, which many players complained about in the Internet.
    6) In a game with enemies as fast as diarrhea - the player swings with his attacks extremely slowly.
    In my subjective opinion, this done on purpose, because why the hell does a character run at the enemy to strike with a sword, and instead, pompously and slowly turns around himself, swings and only then strikes with a katana?!
    7) ALWAYS! gets up after "stealth action". ALWAYS! And this is very dumb... every time you have to squat again. Constantly hit on the sit button if there are more then 2-3 enemies near you.
    8) The game is full of rifles and arrows, but the player has no f***g one of them.
    I understand that the cornerstone of the game is swordsmanship and parrying, but it looks corny stupid. The character is a ninja, and they have always used everything that can be used to kill. Ok, let's not touch the noisy rifles, but the bows! ...No! ... just almost useless shurikens.
    9) About useless things: among the consumables, there are also a lot of useless ones. For example, I used ceramic pieces only twice in the game, because they either fly somewhere to the side, or even close to the enemy do not give any reaction... I will call candies useless not because of their effects, but because for a short time, having only three pieces for a boss fight is not having them at all.
    10) There is not enough variety in weapons, items, some talismans, and so on. Some of the skills and prostheses are almost useless in comparison with others, which makes the game even more "narrow" in this regard.
    11) I liked the graphics in general, but I understand the criticism from people that it looks a little outdated for the year the game was released.
    12) Curved hit-boxes. This does not happen often, but periodically and always makes the character a strong trip because this game is hard - the enemy can strike into the void next to you and you will receive damage. Even if the distance is EXACTLY far.
    ...
    I definitely liked the game, but damn it, all these disadvantages spoiled the impression very much. If everything would have been done normally, I am almost sure that the hardness of the game would have been perceived a little softer and more enjoyable for me.    … Expand

    This is Sekiro, everything dies more than twice. Dark Souls goes to Japan! *smiling...sweating*

    Back in the days when I didn’t like the souls game but first when I tried bloodborne then dark souls 3 the frustration to kill a single boss and the satisfaction you receive after killing it. In Sekiro I didn’t encounter too many bosses only 3 now, but the game is good with its level of difficulty, I am really satisfied looking forward to more boss fights.

The only thing that bothers me is the soundtrack in this game is meeeeeeh needed to be more enthusiastic to put you in the mood. ALL YOU NEED TO ENJOY THIS GAME IS TO “GIT GUDD”. 10.4hrs and still going to bleed more.… Expand

    It's just amazing, loved the bosses and all the endings. The combat was quite iffy at first but after getting used to it, it felt pretty good; The story is definitely my favorite part as compared to dark souls it's more in-your-face and you don't have to watch videos to understand what's going on.

    i'm just huge fan of Parry-Like game, this is the GOAT, and it's seem i can't find any game with better parry mechanics than this, Sekiro is extremely addictive with me. If you want to find another game with this Smooth and Parry/Dodge Mechanic, i can recommend the Metal Gears Rising, but the Smooth and Timings ?

    One of the greatest games i've ever played insanely hard to learn but very rewarding and fun. if your thinking about getting it get it. I originally chose the "wrong ending" which ends your game a few hours short and makes you miss out on one of the best parts of the game but I chose to just replay and go for the new ending just because this game is so fun.

    The combat is challenging but rewarding and you get that souls-like rush whenever you a boss 10/10 (good story to).

    Best combat system with a new flavor in Souls-like genes. I feel like a real Shinobi more than I can expect and Sekiro much better mood than Ghost of Tsushima.

    Games with only one difficulty are always great just because of the comfort knowing that everyone else is getting absolutely demolished too.

    Really fun game with a great combat system. The learning curve is rather steep. I almost considered dropping the game, thinking it just wasn't for me, until suddenly it just "clicked". It can take some time to get there, but it's worth it. The final boss is really quite memorable.

    I adore this games combat personally over all the souls games i would give the combat a 10/10 but the terror mechanic reminds me this is a FromSoft game. Not a bad thing of course :)

    Had a good time. Make sure to note down the dialogue cause you might miss the story in between large fights. I liked the dragon fight (spoilers) the most. Mercury counter is super op!

    Highly recommend this game. This game is like riddle and rhythm game, you might die a lot but if you get the hang of it and just play it calmly and relax it will be a great experience especially to those who play like other souls game (even though i never had any experience playing any other soul games).

    If you love dark souls you'll love this. Thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea cuz it was samurais instead of knights but that giant snake changed my mind.

    There’s no leveling (in Soulsborne sense of the word), no covenants, no multiplayer, no variety in armor and weapons. It could be written off a stylistic choice, if the rest of the game didn’t feel very similar to the previous FromSoftware games. But it does, so Sekrio comes across as rather shallow.

    Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is a milestone in the genre. It offers complex, stunning and precise sword fights and duels that its predecessors lacked, and from which its successors will have to keep up with. You no longer simply learn by repeatedly and unfairly dying, but you refine your talents as a player. You seek unique methods to overcome each boss, rather than just rolling at the right time before spamming a few hits.

    Dozens of hours later, we're still not sure how we feel about it. It's a game of contradictions, open and flexible in its level design, yet resolutely strict in its combat... It is a brilliant game, that is certain. but it is often a difficult one to truly love. Naturally, we can't put it down. [Issue#332, p.104]
