    Nisam ljubitelj Fromsoftware igara jer imaju presporo i nespretno upravljanje. Sjekira je izgledala previše dobro da bi se prošlo pa je tako. Kontrole su stroge i super brze. Ovo je teška igra, ali nije strašno ako ste akcijski igrač.

    After BB and D1-3, souls games had become comfortable. Still challenging, but familiar.
    Starting Sekiro felt like starting Dark Souls 1 for the first time. It was frustrating at first, but in the end I loved it.

    A common occurrence for me would be to struggle on a boss for hours on end, and then have one fight where it just clicks and I would take almost no damage before landing the final killing blow.
    There were a couple fights were I would win with a sliver of health left, but almost all of the bosses are posture-based fights and would resolve once I got into that flow. (A distinction that you'll understand quickly once playing).To me this is From Soft saying: hey folks, this is how you do souls-like. They've made an incredible game. And for those willing to put in the hours its an incredible fight.    … Expand

    Unlike traditional souls games, the clunk factor in Sekiro is pretty much non existent. I can only think of one mini boss, in which there are two types of them, that has a certain air of clunkiness to them. Beyond that, the gameplay is definitely smooth and fluid. The graphics are good, the music is decent, the story and lore are interesting.

    Another crucial element that makes this game such an enthralling experience to play is the inclusion of perilous attacks. When the enemy flashes a red kanji symbol, you have a second to determine what they're doing and how you're supposed to react accordingly: will they thrust you? Step on their weapon the moment it launches. Will they perform a sweep? Jump over the sweep and counter them with an overhead attack. Will they attempt to grab you? Dodge towards their back to give yourself a big opening. This system feels daunting at first, but I guarantee it will click with you at some point in the game, and it will feel fantastic to counter perilous attacks, something no other video game has ever done yet.    … Expand

Fast forward to a few months ago, between 2020 and this year, I had played through the souls series, so when I saw Sekiro on sale I picked it up again. The difference is, this time I was willing to make the effort to understand how to play the game and understand its mechanics, and I was rewarded with one of the most rich and fulfilling games I've ever played, even surpassing my high expectations after playing Dark Souls. So don't be like me last year, and don't be like Asmongold. I assure you, give the game a second or even third chance and you might be surprised by how good it feels to finally get a grasp of the combat system… Expand

    Review for casuals by a casual. You have to be aware that this is a niche game, in the same way that simulators are designed to be realistic, this game is specifically designed to be difficult. It requires a lot of patience, resilience and skill. So my advise is that unless you are a person who enjoy challenges you should not buy this game.

    My first souls-like game. Just beat my first play-through. Honestly, it wasn't as difficult as I thought
    Obviously, had some difficult time trying to figure out how to fight. But it was still easy enough for a newbie to beat the final boss in 30 hours.

Personally I don't agree, Sekiro's difficulty compared to other games in the Soulborne franchise is definitely higher.
    From a mechanically more complete challenge, to scenarios that enable more than other games, in Sekiro scenario is not only figurative, it can be used in most combats throughout the game. It all depends on the skill of the player and how he sees his possibilities.
    I liked so much the graphics, the story that is made possible for us and the game's unfolding in general, but there are few aspects in the unfolding that were too quick, like the "Shura" ending. The environment and scenarios are well developed, giving up to 1 a certain immersion in the game.
    Briefly, I recommend this game to anyone who is looking for 1 good challenge, 1 good graphic art, or who simply likes Feudal Japan.    … Expand

Над ним загорается красный иероглиф, когда он будет делать сильную атаку. Но не всегда, когда вы нажимаете нужную кнопку, вы блокируете или отражаете эту атаку. Я думаю, это связано с кривыми программистами, кто работает в компании FromSoftware. Потому что написать такие кривущие тайминги атак - надо постараться. Так же разочаровала стелз механика, которая здесь типо есть, но на самом деле ее нет. А так же слишком большое количество обезьян (могли бы разнообразить животный мир, и добавить тигров и медведей)
    Мне очень нравится серия дарксоулс, но помоему с момента релиза 3ей части и секиро разработчик сменил весь состав программистов, иначе я не могу объяснить, почему игра, которая задумана как неплохая и интересная, выпущена с таким плохим качеством и таймингами

The gameplay is beyond satisfying and I enjoyed the story and the choice of endings. I do recommand playing while checking a few things online at the same time for a more complete experience.

    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]
