    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

    One of the best games I've ever played. I love the story, atmosphere, visuals, everything. The gameplay is fantastic.

    Beating Isshin, the Sword Saint with mostly parries and counters was one of the most satisfying feelings for me during a game. It also took me around 5 hours to beat him. I just wish there was a DLSS option by now and not as many framerate drop areas in the game. And    One of the best games I've ever played. I love the story, atmosphere, visuals, everything.

    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.

The **** demon of piss can go **** himself though, took me a decent 4-5 hours to actually defeat that thing. So annoying. The final boss fight(Isshin) took me 5 tries yet the DS3 boss made me want to take my life. All in all, it's a good game, very challenging, amazing music, and the deflecting mechanic is one of the most unique I've encountered in gaming. This is a special game and I doubt it will ever be forgotten. 9/10.… Expand

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

    Challenging, fast and beautiful.
    Nice characters and good story.
    A LOT of mini-bosses.

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

    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.
