    This game is amazing. The learning curve is high, but once you've got the blocking down, this game becomes so satisfying. The movement is fluid and the story is interesting. This has become one of my favorite games of all time, and I hope From Software release some DLC for this. It deserves the extra treatment.

    Understand when to do what and the game is damn thrilling. With the intricate level design that's made the Dark Souls games so great and most of the FromSoftware DNA still intact. It's just the combat that has been reconfigured, and the end result is just as nuanced as any other game they've made.

    A truly amazing game that I've fully completed in a little less than 100 hours, spread across the last month since release. With six playthroughs and the super rare 'Sekiro' achievement under my belt, I can wholeheartedly recommend Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice to anybody who is even remotely interested in the game. Definitely my personal favorite From Software title so far.

    After mastering the game's mechanics and 100%-ing it, I can say that Sekiro is one of the unique games out there. It has fluid gameplay and good story. Game has a high skill curve because of the many variations in bosses/enemies. The game was unforgiving on my first run, but as I go NG+ again and again (5th time) the game is just a walk in a park now.

    Has some differences from souls. I have beaten every Soulsborne game aside form Demon's Souls and I can say it is unique. You have more focus on breaking posture than just killing the enemy. In other words posture damage is more important than raw damage you deal, because it grants a critical hit which replaces the riposte attack. It is beautiful and there are some really tough mini-bosses.

    Sekiro is FromSoftware upping their game. This is an evolution of the souls series in terms of cinematic game-play. The swordplay is, in my humble opinion, the best any game has ever offered. The traversal feels great. The bosses are some of the hardest, most rage inducing and most fun bosses in any game. The game has very strict rules though. And every death is your fault.

All the other while, you need to be aggressive and target their posture meter down to get deathblows.

Parrying is another major part of the combat system and you probably wont get very far without it. Each enemy give experience points that can be used to unlock skills. Unlocking skills does make things like sneaking around and using "Sugars" and other items to last longer but you can certainly get through the game without spending them. I didn't use the "special move" skills much as they took along time to come out and i didn't find the pay off to be worth the risk. You can scroll through your inventory during combat as time is paused which is different to Dark Souls. This makes it so that you can find the item you want and use it without having to run away, scroll through your hot bar and make enough distance so you can use the item all at the same time. All in all, I think Sekiro was fun to play and very satisfying to complete but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I would still recommend Sekiro but don't go in thinking it's like Dark Souls because you will be disappointed.… Expand

Some moves are very satisfying to pull off, like Lightning Reversal or Mid-air Deathblows, and the sound effects of deflecting just makes it all more satisfying.
    + The story has the most branching of any FromSoft game yet (which isn't a lot, admittedly), with some bosses being exclusive to certain choices, and one of them is the first time FromSoft has done something of the sort.
    + Resource scarcity is done very well, making the consumables you pick up through exploration and mini-boss killing extremely valuable.
    + All the encounters are designed to encourage players to use consumables instead of just hoarding them.
    + The big majority of the tools are good or great.
    + There isn't a single area that makes me think "I don't wanna go through this annoying ♥♥♥♥ again", unlike all the past FromSoft games.
    + Final boss forces you to use everything you've learned throughout the game while not feeling unfair.
    + Trademark Miyazaki-led enemy placement and usage. Unlike Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3's DLC, which had Tanimura's handiwork, this game doesn't bombard you with extremely annoying waves of enemies in closed spaces that you have to bruteforce your way through with no other options or trick to the encounters.

    - Emblem system is annoying. I honestly wish it'd just replenish when you rested/communed at an idol and didn't require buying them. There are some times where you're banging your head against a boss encounter but you run out of emblems and gold to buy them. The system as-is does not really encourage experimentation a lot.
    - Most of the soundtrack is trash - which doesn't surprise me considering Yuka Kitamura composed most of it. There are a couple songs that I liked and got me in the mood, but I noticed there was a 2nd composer, and I'm willing to bet they had his hand, just like Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.
    - One particular optional boss fight is terrible and ignores 90% of the combat mechanics in the game, which leaves a very bad taste in your mouth. It's a Bloodborne boss in Sekiro. It just doesn't work.
    - Hitboxes on grabs are (still) totally, now a problem exacerbated by the reduced iframes. Both beast bosses use these fairly often, and if a death results from a bad hitbox it can be pretty triggering.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, A 16th century supernatural ARPG from the legendary studio FromSoftware and mastermind Hidetaka Miyazaki, the man that gave us the phenomenal Bloodborne and Dark Souls franchise. Sekiro is based in a fictional version of 16 Century Japan where you play a Shinobi called Sekiro meaning One-Armed Wolf.

Sekiro is based in a fictional version of 16 Century Japan where you play a Shinobi called Sekiro meaning One-Armed Wolf. The game starts with an opening cinematic about the conflict in Ashina coming to an end, You see Sekiro as a child, as a man (Owl) walks up to him and asks the "Starving Wolf" to join him, He trains the child "relentlessly" to become a master Shinobi.
    You start the game of in a cell pit as someone throws down the clue to your escape, this first chapter is sort of a way to help you get a feel for the game and it's controls, if your used to the typical Dark Souls gameplay you're going to have to adjust your playstyle as Sekiro is all about posture, at the bottom of the screen your posture is displayed and at the top your enemies, you have to deflect to build up posture, blocking works but not as well, you have a very small time frame to deflect so your reflexes have to be on point as that could lead to death. In previous FromSoftware games dying was the worst thing that could happening, in Sekiro they took a different approach as you can resurrect once after each death, some enemies have this as well, above their health there is a red indicator so you know how many times they can resurrect.    … Expand

I played a lot of games and I can easily say that this game offers the best combat/fight system to date. It's extremely rewarding and makes you feel like a total badass. Your prosthetic arm gives you a a lot of addition tactics in battle due to the collection of gadgets you can attach to it. Also you can learn unique combos, strikes and skills. So yeah like I said pretty awesome gamplay wise. The story is nothing too spectacular but keeps you motivated.
    Every region has some sort of verticality for your movement with the grappling hook. Stealth makes many parts a lot easier. I think Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne have still better regions and atmosphere but thats my opinion. I'd say this game is not as hard as Dark Souls 1 or Bloodborne due to the fact it's way fairer and stealth makes -like I said- almost every part easier except for the bosses ofc .. In addition you almost never die because of some BS. Ye it has a steep learning curve but it's very rewarding. After Bloodborne my favorite Soulsborne like game.

    Remember when in Dark Souls 2 the monastery scimitar was broken and had 0 frames of startup on its parry animation? That's the main mechanic in this game, except when you land it, the enemy doesn't stop attacking, so you need to do about eight in a row.

In contrast to any Souls or Souls-like game the victory over an oppenent isn't the most rewarding, in Sekiro it is sword combat itself which has one of the best fighting systems I have ever known in a game so far. Thus, the combats against every minor or big boss are an extraordinary immersive and intensive experience. Like in a real sword duel everything – or in other words your victory or death - depends on whether you can „read“ the movements of your opponents or not; furthermore, if you can handle your katana the perfectly right way, especially to block and parry all of your opponent's attacks in the very right moment. And if you do so, you can decide the duel in your favour in a very brief moment, so that you kill your enemy and will be victorious … or you will be dead also in just a few seconds ;). Overall a great game from From Software, which has some similarities to their previous games (Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne), but in its way and style it is very unique and outstanding, especially because of its exceptional duels, which will make you tensed up and sweat like in no other game before.

In addition, using a shrine doesn't automatically respawn enemies unless you rest or fast travel. Finally, shrines are far more plentiful than bonfires were in DS. Throw in your grappling hook and rapid move speed and you'll never take long to get where you want to go.

All of a sudden you're blowing through the boss' first form (or maybe two) without taking a hit. I like that feeling. It's damn hard, but I'm not getting better at fights because I leveled up my sword power, I am getting better because I have mastered these immensely complicated patterns and am weaving between them to attain victory.

    FromSoftware know they are the kings of gameplay, and Sekiro : Shadows Die Twice is proof of their confidence. Fascinating Japanese lore, unforgiving combat and beautiful scenery blend into a perfect cocktail you will hate getting addicted to.

    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]
