    Jest to bez wątpienia moja ulubiona gra od FromSoftware. Eksploracja świata jest wpraniała, bossy bardzo dobrze zrobione, lecz najbardziej podoba mi się model walki, który jak dla mnie jest najlepszym modelem z gier, w których walczy się bronią białą.

    Out of every game I have played, which is admittedly not the most, this game has the best combat. Just for the boss fights it gets a 10/10. Everything else is extra.

    the best combat system ever introduced in a video game,
    pure swords slashing with great skills and prosthetic arm tools.
    not a single minute feeling bored playing this masterpiece for the 4th time!
    it is simply a perfect game and definitely a 10/10.

    The best From Software game!
    Combat may seem like a barrier at first look, but once you master it, it's magnificent.

    Probablemente el mejor juego de From Software en lo que a calidad de mecánicas se refiere.
    Sekiro es una experiencia jugable indispensable para los fans de los juegos de acción además de que esta vez la historia es mas accesible, pues por fin tiene una estructura mas lineal que los anteriores juegos del estudio.
    Si no lo has jugado no dudes en hacerlo, no te arrepentirás . . . o quizá

    A game which is very unapologetic in how it wants you to play it, handing you one weapon with an array of tools, expecting you to master them. If you're willing to take on the challenge of this souls game, you'll be met with an exciting array of bosses and enemies in-between, where the action will force you to become acquainted with its dance-like duels.
    The scenery and general atmosphere

    The scenery and general atmosphere of the game is a haunting yet serene depiction of Japan, so if this all sound like your thing, then chances are it is.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **** I just spend 20 minutes writing a 3000 character review and I clicked submit and an error deleted the whole thing so Im just going to summerize real quick what I said. The combat is really good and makes this game a masterpiece. If you enjoy a challenge and satisfaction from beating one then get the game and pray you git gud because in the beginning when you are learning its gonna be brutal but after that it's nothing but satisfaction.

    I love the character designs. I love the music. I love the world. I like the story. I love the concept. I LOOVE the combat. I love the gameplay. The feeling of playing the game and winning against difficult enemies is exhilerating. I find myself playing this game again and again. Played this game for like 15 times. Easily 10/10.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die "Hundreds of times" is an exhilarating experience that every gamer should experience. While wandering among the lands with unique level designs, you will probably get exhausted because of its compelling world. However, even in the darkest hours, the amount of euphoria that you feel when delivering a death blow will bind you to an intriguing journey.

    Simplesmente uma perfeição. Estou completamente apaixonado por este jogo.

Estou completamente apaixonado por este jogo. De início, tive muita dificuldade, pois é uma experiência bem diferente dos souls-like (apesar de nunca me sentir frustrado por entender que morrer faz parte do jogo, é um aprendizado, realmente não é para matar todos os chefes de segunda ou terceira), e por um bom tempo não estava muito animado, mas a partir do ponto que me acostumei com a mecânica, me apaixonei por tudo o que aparecia na minha frente. Em uma segunda jogatina eu confirmei o que já imaginava, era tudo culpa minha. Eu não estava jogando bem, mas quando consegui me adaptar, vi que, embora ainda haja uma boa dificuldade, o jogo é bem justo e te dá muitos recursos. Particularmente eu não sou de usar buffs e outros itens, mas então o jogo jogou na minha cara que eu era um shinobi, não um samurai honrado. O lance é tacar cinzas na cara, pegar por trás, usar esquemas e montar estratégias, e principalmente aprender a ter calma, pois a barra de vida serve praticamente para regular a de postura, e em vez de me desesperae pra causar dano, o ideal é se defender e evitar dano para que aproveite melhor as brechas do inimigo.

    O combate desse jogo é uma das melhores coisas que já vi, a exploração é recompendadora, a ordem dos lugares a visitar é razoavelmente livre, tudo aqui é lindo e bem construído, com mínimos detalhes que enriquecem muito o jogo se você prestar atenção.
    Desafio, diversão e sensação de recompensa são as coisas que mais senti jogando isto.

    It's a souls game that takes the secret formula to a whole different level. The parry mechanic, the prosthetic and the revival gimmick introduced in this game is really nothing short of legendary, the story is engaging and you don't need to read 99 used condoms to understand what's going on, the boss fights are so unique and challenging that makes them memorable i mean not sure what elseIt's a souls game that takes the secret formula to a whole different level.

    The game isn't difficult. You're just not willing to adapt. You want the game to bend to you, it will not. This game takes dedication and practice. Nothing will feel more rewarding than when you complete it.

    Un des meilleurs jeu du monde. Les boss sont tous excellent avec des paternes originaux. Plusieurs mécaniques très cool peuvent être débloqué au fil du jeu et on a une vraie sensation de progression.

    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]
