    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.

    To say this game is difficult is an understatement. However, if you master the mechanics (will take some time) it is possibly the most rewarding combat game I've ever played. Now there is really only way to master the fighting mechanics: trial and error. Forget watching YouTube guides or reading tutorials.

Yes, you will be frustrated but if you're someone who enjoys a challenge then this frustration will quickly turn to exhilaration as you start dispatching bosses with style and flair. At that point, you'll truly feel like a Shinobi. Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    First game I played from FROMSOFTWARE and I really liked it. Epic battles, especially with Jinsuke Saze.

    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.
