    This game teaches patience, teaches you to work on yourself and your mistakes, and in return provides the best fights with bosses and unforgettable emotions after defeating them.

    Sin duda alguna estamos ante el mejor juego de acción de la historia hasta la fecha, el sistema de combate es innovador y muy fresco, sinceramente me parece un desastre que este sistema de combate haya sido reciclado por Elden Ring, pero bueno lo que importa es que sekiro es una joya inolvidable.

    Топовая игра. На релизе пропустил, но когда решил попробовать не возможно было оторваться. Механика парирования выведена на совершенно новый уровень. Ни где такого не видел.

    The best game I ever played. The best combat system ever made, stunning areas, super fun bosses and so on. This game just deserves a 10/10 rating because I see no flaws in it not even after playing through the game multiple times. This game is just a masterpiece. And if anyone is saying the game is too hard...no you are just too bad and gotta learn the mechanics.

    It is a spectacular game, it is fun and challenging, the story is very well told and you don't need to read anything to understand it, it has several endings, the gameplay is very different from Dark Souls.

    This game is honestly just perfection, the graphics and visuals are incredible, the music is incredible, the exploration is great, the bosses are great, and the combat is the best it's been in a while. Fromsoft really upped the ante with this game, and I think if you like games with tight combat and great bosses, this is the perfect game to play, assuming you're up for the challenge.

    10/10 game, is not a dark souls, it has its own identity and gameplay. The combat is the most polished combat I have ever seen in any videogame, the swordplay is intense and extremely rewarding once properly learned, the fights are like a dance of swords with its hypnotic rythim and are very satisfying, the bosses are 10/10 and the world is gorgeous. One of my top games of all time.

    The best gameplay of all Souls games. It was truly amazing. It just required a skill, you cannot just go and overfarm. The platinum was a pure joy. The only annoying thing was the loot - 95% of it was useless. Also, some tools are created for like 1 enemy in the game. Anyway, I loved it.

    Amazing game! My story with Sekiro is complicated. I bought it when it won GOTY but I played for maybe 2 hours and sold the game. It seemed brutal and not well designed.

I played the **** out of it. It's a beautiful remake if you haven't played it. I went through most of the game, I advanced much more then the first time I played it on PS3. I think it because of the fact the loadings are so much faster now, so when you die you don't have to go and make a tea, before you can jump right back. Still did not finish it, because I was distracted by Returnal. OMG Returnal is perfect. Mind bending SF lore and hard fights that made my heart pumping adrenaline like nothing before... and then there was Elden Ring. By that time Returnal made me thirsty for a challange, so Elden Ring was excellent. Zelda like exploration, but better??? How is it even possible!? You stumble on to the lift and you spend next 3 days killing Dragon God who lives under the monster-ant kingdom in a long forgotten underground human civilnization. Amazing! And hard fights! Emotions so powerful, impossible really to describe. Once it ended I had to finish Demon Souls, which suddenly became extremely easy:) Once I got back to it, not only I killed the boss I was stuck on in second try... I basically sprinted through the rest of the game almost without dying. The final boss I got on my first try:) I got gud ;) Then Jedi Knight quickly which gave me a fix of FS... and Kena that contrary to her looks is a challenge with some bosses.... but I needed more... so I bought Dark Souls Trilogy... :D DS1 - cool, but to old... I will probably finish it after Sekiro... where I'm going... But DS3? This is the next level **** Great bosses, better then ER and really good graphics and fluency in 60fps. Loved it! I tried Bloodborne... it's ok but too old and clunky... same with DS2 - clunky as hell, actually looks worse then DS1 remaster... so after DS3 and all it's DLCs I bought Sekiro again, because many people say it's the best FS game... What can I say? iI you read all the way to this worlds and your journey and tastes, at least partially, align... then I think you will be enchanted by it. It's not that hard and you will have a blast with exploration, rythmic combat and cool lore. It's all so nicely packed into so many cool and tight mechanics... and there so cool secrets and suprises along the way... even the smallest details are really cool. Yeah. it's an almost perfect game! As close as game can be... I don't know yet if this is better then DS3... will see:) but the time spent with it, is definetely worth it.… Expand

    But at the same time, Sekiro doesn't have as much depth in the combat system like other soul-like game with a wider choice of weapons and genres, such as Dark Souls and Elden Ring. This, along with the overall slightly insufficient volume, is one of Sekiro's few drawbacks. However, I have to admit that these defects could be very personal. That is to say, Sekiro is a good game, but not a perfect one for me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice é um jogo extraordinário que desafia os limites do gênero de ação e oferece uma experiência de combate visceral e gratificante. Com sua atmosfera envolvente, níveis de dificuldade desafiadores, mecânicas inovadoras e uma história intrigante, este jogo é um verdadeiro triunfo do design e da criatividade.

    A atmosfera de Sekiro é intensa e imersiva desde o primeiro momento. O mundo sombrio e desolado do Japão feudal é trazido à vida de maneira impressionante, com cenários magníficos e detalhes meticulosos. A arquitetura, as paisagens e a ambientação sonora combinam-se para criar uma sensação de tensão constante, à medida que os jogadores exploram os reinos amaldiçoados e enfrentam os desafios mortais que os aguardam.

    O combate em Sekiro é um verdadeiro espetáculo de habilidade e precisão. A mecânica inovadora de "postura" adiciona uma camada estratégica profunda aos confrontos, exigindo timing preciso e reflexos rápidos para vencer os inimigos poderosos. Cada duelo é uma dança mortal, onde a execução perfeita dos golpes e a resposta rápida aos ataques inimigos são a chave para a vitória. A sensação de conquista ao superar adversidades é incomparável.

    A dificuldade desafiadora de Sekiro é um dos seus maiores atrativos. O jogo exige que os jogadores se aperfeiçoem e aprendam com cada derrota, incentivando uma abordagem estratégica e paciência para superar os obstáculos. A sensação de satisfação ao superar um chefe poderoso ou desvendar um segredo é indescritível, recompensando a dedicação e o esforço investidos na jornada.

    A história de Sekiro é envolvente e rica em mitologia japonesa. À medida que os jogadores desvendam os mistérios do protagonista, um shinobi renegado, eles são imersos em um mundo de vingança, traição e redenção. Os personagens são complexos e cativantes, e as escolhas morais ao longo da história adicionam um elemento de impacto significativo às narrativas individuais.

    A trilha sonora de Sekiro é uma obra-prima musical. Com melodias que variam desde composições emocionantes até temas de ação intensa, ela complementa perfeitamente a experiência do jogo, mergulhando os jogadores ainda mais na atmosfera única do Japão feudal. Cada nota e arranjo são habilmente escolhidos para amplificar a emoção e a imersão.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice é uma conquista notável na indústria dos jogos. Com sua atmosfera envolvente, combate desafiador, narrativa intrigante e trilha sonora excepcional, ele eleva o patamar dos jogos de ação. Este é um título que exige habilidade, coragem e perseverança, recompensando os jogadores com uma experiência inesquecível que deixará uma marca duradoura em suas memórias.    … Expand

The only bad thing may be it's difficulty (that difficulty is based on your skills 100%) for some players, but when you start understanding the parry and all other abilities, this game becomes a river, and you, you are JESUS. You start flowing with the bosses and you cum with every parry vs 2nd & 3rd fase Isshin. Just a masterpiece, I don't care you don't like soulslike games, if you dislike Sekiro, you dislike masterpieces, works of art, perfection and lastly, Miyazaki.… Expand

    After 70 hours, I can confirm that this game is NOT a masterpiece but it sure is great! The word "masterpiece" has been tossed around too much lately and lost its meaning. I'm not a fanboy from FromSoftware's cult so I don't mind giving an unbiased opinion. In order for something to be a masterpiece, it has to be incredible in every aspect. As far as combat, exploration and music, SekiroAfter 70 hours, I can confirm that this game is NOT a masterpiece but it sure is great! The word "masterpiece" has been tossed around too much lately and lost its meaning. I'm not a fanboy from FromSoftware's cult so I don't mind giving an unbiased opinion. In order for something to be a masterpiece, it has to be incredible in every aspect. As far as combat, exploration and music, Sekiro definitely got it but everything else is kinda trash.

    Cons:
    -Massive input delay. The biggest problem of this game by far. Your timing needs to be impeccable to play this game - period. The fact that the input delay can over a second sometimes is literally crazy because then you'd really need shinobi reflexes to beat this game. Sometimes, the inputs don't even register. And no, you shouldn't need to go out of your way to connect your controller directly to the PS4 for faster inputs(it honestly doesn't seem to work). This is the developers' fault for not considering a simple "This game requires fast reactions, let's optimize it the very best we can so can that the inputs work as perfect as can be".
    -Frame rate issues. Once again, a precise game that requires literal shinobi reflexes needs to run as smoothly as possible. Not the case, this isn't much of an issue in the early game but frame rate drops alot in the late game bossfights, especially Glock Saint, and hard non-boss mobs such as the Interior Ministry.
    -Camera is very frustrating to say the least. If your fighting something in close quarters then just hope your not close to a wall, or else the camera will have a panic attack and have you looking in the most random direction possible. But considering how alot of fights are indoors or in tight spaces, this happens ALOT. Even in open areas, if you get pushed near a wall then consider yourself dead unless you can snap the lock-on back into place.
    -The story and characters are as mediocore as it get. A high school kid who spent two weeks learning about the Sengoku period and Japanese mythology could've written a better story. Wolf is the blanded, most boring protagonist. Throughout all the endings, the only real character development he goes through is upgrading the prosthetics and learning new skills. Thats it. Of all of the characters in this game, Genichiro actually has the most character development and is a really good antagonist.
    - Certain enemies are an actual real headache to fight against. It's not the difficulty, its what you need to just to fight them and live. Like the Headless monsters, you need several items that are very rare in the first playthrough just to fight them or they'll kill you in two swings even if you perfectly deflect everything.

    Pros
    -Combat is one of the best of any game you'll play. You have so many options, techniques, weapons andn items at your disposal. It's just a matter of your understanding of the enemies, your arsenal and your creativity. Learning to play this game is definitely hard but it's soooo rewarding once it clicks. It's even more rewarding once you start stringing together awesome combos and chopping down enemies with ease that were once problems to you.
    -Never gets boring. There's different areas of the game to explore and plenty of unique enemies in each area. These areas are very beautifully crafted and fun to explore, especially the Fountainhead Palace. You'll be fighting against new enemies up until the very end of the game.
    -Music is fantastic. Every theme perfectly matches the fight that it's paired with. Sometimes I like to listen some of the OSTs while working out.
    -Lots of replayability. No matter many times I may get mad at this game, I always come back. It's truly a one of a kind experience. So many ways to play it. So many different combinations of attacks and prothestics to use. New Game+ is always available and every new game gets easier and easier. The Reflections and Gauntlets of Strength are alot of fun to do.

    To wrap it up, is Sekiro a masterpiece? Nope, there's way too many technical issues, truly iresome mechanics, mediocore storytelling holding it back. Is it an incredible, one of a kind action-adventure experience that's worthy of trying? Absolutely. Just make sure you buy it when it's on sale LOL.    … Expand

Also, concerning one of its most talked about features: maybe I have just improved at this type of game in recent years, but I feel like there is a bit too much exaggeration about the game difficulty- it seems like some people were not adapting to the fight style available, and that might have added to the challenge and frustration.

    You have the one weapon, a few handfuls of skills, items, and tools, and that's it. It's the same familiar experience from From (see what I did there?) of getting better and surmounting the seemingly impossible, just with only one specific character build and fighting style. I liked the focus on deflect and posture as it allows two ways to defeat enemies, draining their life bar or filling their posture damage bar. If you don't like to deflect, then maybe you will not enjoy this game as much as I did, but it's an oversimplification to say that the game is only about deflecting as that strategy will not really work on some bosses (anyway, there is the usual cheese available for a lot of them). I also generally liked the addition of the stealth mechanics and also grappling hook and more vertical design of many levels. And the world of the game is very beautiful and well designed.

    Overall, I prefer the non-Souls From Soft games like this and Bloodborne and I didn't try this wanting to play Dark Souls in Sengoku Japan. Sekiro is its own type of game, and gave me mostly great fights and a decent challenge. Like any From Soft game, I feel there are some lower tier boss battles, so there were a couple of true peak and valley moments where a great and fun boss was followed soon after by a mini boss or boss that was head scratching or made obnoxious by an unreliable camera in closed quarters. Bloodborne is still the king of the From games for me, but this game often came close to taking that crown.    … Expand

Sure the first run was a bit difficult when I was still learning the ropes but after I learned all the tricks it just clicked with me. If people say it is hard and unfair I have to say that they gave up too soon before learning the combat. Soulslike genre isn't for the faint-hearted. One huge difference it has compared to other soulslikes is the fact that you must unlearn most of what you've learned during other soulslikes and approach this game from a new perspective. The new posture mechanic instead of stamina and deflecting mechanic. The only problem I had with the game is that some of the bosses are used more than once during a playthrough. And it gets boring during multiple playthroughs.
    Overall, it was one hell of an experience. 10/10    … Expand

    The best combat in all of the souls games, but inferior in pretty much everything else compared to most of the other ones. Amazing, the hardest game I´ve ever played, but the fact that the combat is flawless makes it not frustrating (but it does have some bad bosses). Also, WHO IS ROBERT?

    While I appreciate the tightness of gameplay in Sekiro, I think FromSoft should have been a bit more forgiving to the players. I cannot fathom, how many gamers are scarred for ever by quitting this game cuz of Genichiro or even Chained Troll. That unnecessary, a game can and should be hard like this, but the learning curve should habe been made less steep and more stretched out over the game.

The combat system is flawless, very very satisfying, the absence of stamina is a great idea, because it helps you to keep your head fully focused on your enemy, and less focused on yourself. The removal of level-upgrading is the thing that makes this game drive away from the Souls saga, and I personally LOVE IT. Now it's not your character that is getting better, but YOU are actually getting better! The movement system is great and it fits perfectly with the game, because your character can be moved in a very quick manner, and the agility is one of the most important skills that a Shinobi has to have. Also the possibility to resurrect is a fantastic feature in my opinion. And finally, the last boss is probably the best boss I ever fought against. I'm not giving it a 10, because there are still some annoying bosses, some bosses that you need to buff yourself to be able to have a chance to beat, and 1 thing that FromSoftware needs to understand, and I'm not talking only about sekiro, but every souls game: When I am healing, I must be untouchable just for those 2 seconds !!! Bosses often wait for you to heal to attack, because your character is busy doing that animation and they can hit, and you obviously can't do anything to avoid it (and if I'm healing, I do it to gain some hp, not to loose even more… Expand

No soy capaz de pasar más allá del simio guardián, y me jode cantidad después de echarle más de 20 horas. Ningún Souls me ha supuesto un reto como este, ni siquiera Bloodborne y su jodidísimo DLC.

    Sekiro es una combinación entre shinobi, Onimusha y un Souls, si has jugado esas franquicias imagina una mezcla de ambos y el core de los souls(con todo y su dificultad elevada), aunque tiene mas de los souls que los otros juegos.

    En cuanto el combate, en este juego es fundamental cubrir y hacer parrys a diferencia de bloodborne o darksouls que puedes abordar las peleas esquivando ataques, cosa que en sekiro solo sirve para un tipo de ataque enemigo. En su contra puedo decir que es mucho menos variado que un darksouls, solo cuentas con un arma en casi todo el juego y tienes una prótesis que sirven como arma secundaria, pero lo anterior es muy poco a diferencia de todas las combinaciones que podrías hacer en un souls

    Algo muy positivo de este juego, es que te cuenta la historia de una manera mas clara que los demás juegos de Fromsoftware, al tener un personaje predeterminado, tu personaje no se siente como un hueco de DS si no como un verdadero shinobi con sentimientos e intereses. Lo anterior puede ser positivo o negativo dependiendo de lo que estés buscando.

    En lo que si se lleva un 10 es en la exploración, donde al igual que DS1 sus mundos están interceptados y se siente muy bien el ir descubriendo los ídolos (Hogueras de descanso) pero va mas allá, con su sistema de Gancho salto y sigilo, con lo anterior puedes abandonar una pelea si te sientes superado y escapar para despues esconderte (algo como Assasins creed combinado con metal gear). Lo anterior hace que te dientas muy agil por los escenarios y no como en una ratonera como en DS o Bloodborne.

    En cuanto al sistema de progresión las cosas son muy distintas a DS, ya que no tienes estadísticas solo puedes subir el nivel de ataque, la salud, el daño a la postura y la cantidad y calidad de tus curaciones. Las resistencias al veneno, miedo y demás estadísticas se compensan con consumibles que te dan o puedes comprar y que te suben estás resistencias.

    En General es de aplaudir que Fromsoftware adapta su formula con otros tipos de Gameplays, algo solo Nioh ha podido hacer bien, sin embargo hay decenas de juegos como Lords of the fallen, the surge y demás que han fallado en el intento.

Dark Souls, DSIII, didn’t like DSII then Elden Ring & recently Sekiro. At first it’s incredibly difficult. I played through the game twice before becoming what I would consider to be proficient. If you want to cheese many bosses there are ways but that is cheating yourself out of a lot of satisfaction & fun. The game can be finished w/4 endings. One ending is about 60% if the full game the typical ending is about 95% of the game. There’s a lot of fighting techniques Sekiro can learn to make fights more difficult, easy, interesting & easy. Attack power is upgraded after defeating major bosses & using the memory to upgrade. So grinding for attack power doesn’t work. You have to learn the fight. Maybe a skill can help & that can be a grind objective; along w/Sen (gold). A very different From Software game that feels right at home because of the excellent boss, character, level & fight designs. I do think Sekiro is the most difficult From Software game I’ve played but it’s fair & that’s most important. Don’t skip this game & if you do play don’t give up.

The bosses in this game too are easily the most consistently great in any game I've ever played. The fighting mechanics allow for interesting and challenging fights which really shine brightest with the final fight. A substantial issue I have however is that there are a decent amount of repeat fights here. almost half the bosses and mini-bosses one fights are repeats with some alterations. Now, while the alterations often do change enough to make the second fights compelling, it still feels odd that in a game this polished there also exists a stunning lack of diversity.

This review is from the perspective of a returning souls player that have played ds1 ds3 bloodbourne and demon souls. The new combat is a new welcome addition. The new movement and vertical level designs makes for a new Experience that doesn’t feel like from soft is treading similitude ground. If you are a returning souls player that wants exactly the same experience you might be put of because it is different. The customized build variety has been traded for a more focused and simply put much better combat system. This is a game that knows what it wants to accomplish and does so very well. I do have a few minor very subjective complaints though. The world feels less very inspired but still a bit less creative and surprising than previous world entries. But this is because it is more reality based and that’s okay, just personal preference. The pop up tutorial systems are a steep downgrade from previous game tutorials. I will also say that the amount of repeat minibosses are tedious. And that the ability to absorb coins and items although conviniant is very immersion breaking. Also the GODAMM MONKEY DUO FIGHT IS THE WORST IN THE ENTIRE SERIES. I don’t ever wanna hear anymore complaints about “Oh the ds2 duo bosses are the worst” because goddam this is the worst duo fight ever it does not work and abandons everything this game was built around. 1v1, this was also abit true for games like ds1 but since the combat system was less focused and somewhat less built around 1v1 you could make it justifiable to create 2v1 fights. Not in sekiro though. Still I am very happy to see fromsoft get out of their comfort zone and try something new. Heavily recommended… Expand

    The game is very good, but I do find it overrated. The souls games are incredibly fun and fair. This feels hard, but not for the right reason. The boss fights are basically a rhythm game.

    Sekiro is one of the most unique games in the Souls series. There are stealth sections and a grappling hook and a lot of other tools. The parry system is unlike any other combat in the series. My first time through this game I had a tough time. No like really tough. I even said that this game was the hardest in the series. After my second playthrough though, I had a change of heart.

I found the game significantly easier than my first time. When you know what you are doing and you hit all of your parries, the game feels amazing. The style is awesome. Not a lot of negative things to say here. I guess stealth killing enemies can get really repetitive since its the exact same animation. Amazing game.… Expand

    This is not a 10 just because the only perfection is Dark Souls 3 - Fire Fades Edition.

    Sekiro is a masterpiece and deserved the GOTY. Even with a high difficult (for those who not know the souls series, do a search before play) it gives you fun from the beggining to the end.

    A masterpiece!

    As long as you leave your gaming preconceptions at the door, and open yourself to the combat mechanics that From Software carefully crafted on this title, you will have a blast! Initially, I tried to play this game with my usual approach: keep dodging, have patience, mind your position, and look for an opening to punish your adversary… And doing this just brought me    A masterpiece!

    Initially, I tried to play this game with my usual approach: keep dodging, have patience, mind your position, and look for an opening to punish your adversary… And doing this just brought me pain, anger and frustration… I kept dying and dying and dying. I did not understand what was happening!

    Sekiro took me out of my comfort zone, and forced me to change the way I usually approach games like this… I had to be aggressive, set the tempo of the fight, and properly learn and rely on new or rarely used mechanics… And it was a wonderful experience.

    It is funny how as soon as you embrace Sekiro’s combat system, everything clicks. You really feel like a ninja, dominating parries, mikiri counters, and jumps, while also throwing yourself right in the face of bosses and dominating them… At some point you feel that is the boss the one that should be worried because you are unstoppable!

    Less flexibility is the price to pay to have such a refined combat experience. Thank you From Software for pushing the genre and bringing such unique experiences for us to enjoy.

    Have patience, learn the mechanics, and be aggressive… And you will have a wonderful time with Sekiro.    … Expand

The visuals, the gameplay and the story are stunning. The combat system is so unique, innovative and brilliantly carried out that for me even the very high difficulty doesn't affect the joy of fighting in a bad way. On the contrary, the difficulty forces you the internalize the art of fighting like a shinobi and adds to the feeling. With this combat system I always felt like I have the abilities to defeat my opponents, I was sure through hard work I will gather the skills to succeed even in the hardest fights. Unlike some bosses in the Dark Souls games, Sekiro always gave me the faith and confidence that I will overcome the challenge I am facing. I hope fromsoftware will continue to use Sekiros fighting system and way of story telling in their future work.… Expand

    Overall, Sekiro is defined by its riveting, challenging, and ultimately highly rewarding gameplay. Stemming from simplicity but giving a wide variety of different combat options, few games come close to matching the exhilarating rush that Sekiro’s best moments provide. Exploring its atmospherically engrossing levels is a treat, from a visual, musical, and atmospheric standpoint. Even if exploration and character storylines are sometimes hampered by Dragonrot, repeatedly severing the immortality of bosses with brutal “Shinobi Executions” and discovering the ritual secrets of eternal life offers a captivating experience that stands out as one of FromSoftware’s best and most distinctive titles.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an enjoyable, yet deeply challenging game. It's not really a Dark Souls with samurais game, but whether or not you enjoyed the difficulty level of the battles in Dark Souls will be a good benchmark in gauging how much you'll like Sekiro. If you're persistent, up for a challenge, and don't become frustrated easily, then Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an easy game to recommend.

    Though Sekiro feels impossibly hard at times, the level of euphoria you experience when delivering a death blow to a tricky boss or when you finally clear a castle grounds of all enemies is almost unparalleled.
