    Normally you buy a game on the assumption that you can play it through. You want to be entertained by the story and enjoy good gameplay. It should be challenging in a way, but fair at all times and you should never feel that the game is unfair.

You want to be entertained by the story and enjoy good gameplay. It should be challenging in a way, but fair at all times and you should never feel that the game is unfair.

    Developers have in the past gone over to adjusting the level of difficulty without the player's knowledge and during the game if you fail too often. If you don't make a section again and again, the enemies are suddenly weakened quantitatively and qualitatively. This is called "adaptive difficulty" in technical jargon. It should guarantee that the player remains "in the flow" and constantly experiences success without weakening his ego. The player usually doesn't notice this at all, he is happy about his success and the fun of the game remains. If an average player fails too often on an average difficulty level at a certain point, the developer has done something wrong at exactly this point. At least that's the current theory and prevailing opinion among developers.

    Well, and then From Software came around the corner... with a "slightly" different approach. Different levels of difficulty? There isn't. There is only one: ultra-heavy. You really have to train to master the fighting system thoroughly if you want to get ahead here. And you have to understand the world and how it works. In Sekiro we are talking about a wonderfully designed world which has a story to tell. In this world we play our protagonist, who has to keep his honor and would do anything for it, no matter how difficult and hopeless the situation looks. The protagonist would sacrifice everything for it and he has to train hard and develop further if he wants to master the challenges he faces. Nothing more this game demands from the player himself: Develop yourself further, train yourself and face the challenges. An important prerequisite for such a challenging game is extremely good control and a perfect fighting system. Sekiro delivers both.

    We have to explore this fantastic world and conquer the enormous dangers. Either we master this challenge with virtuosity, or we fail grandiosely. In between there is nothing at all. If we meet a boss in Sekiro and he turns out to be a true master of sword art, then this opponent can only be defeated if we become the better master. And that requires a lot of hard work. And it requires one thing above all else: before we defeat our opponents, we must defeat ourselves. We have to learn that failure is not frustrating. Failure is training. Failure is instructive. The game does not give us a sense of achievement, we have to work it out for ourselves. That's exactly what many players don't like. But in a certain way Sekiro not only makes us a better player with this approach, but also a better person. Because here you learn something incredibly important, which also has an enormous relevance in real life: The world doesn't owe us that it's fair and just. Why should it? If we want to achieve something, we have to work hard. And it's a lot of fun when the hard work pays off.

    At the end of the game you actually feel like you've gone through a development. You understand that it wasn't just a game, it was an important experience and a lesson. Hence 10/10 - The best game of the year.    … Expand

    Sekiro is really a bold decision to make for From since they chose to depart from the famed Soulsborne series which has proved to be quite a genre of its own. Because of this decision, many (not all) long time fans of the series felt that they are betrayed. As a fan of the series, I do understand their frustration as Sekiro does not share many characteristics that Soulsborne games do. ForSekiro is really a bold decision to make for From since they chose to depart from the famed Soulsborne series which has proved to be quite a genre of its own. Because of this decision, many (not all) long time fans of the series felt that they are betrayed. As a fan of the series, I do understand their frustration as Sekiro does not share many characteristics that Soulsborne games do. For example, customization, pvp, stamina, dodging, or personally for me, the really, I mean really epic bosses. Although Sekiro's bosses are also really great, and I do feel the joy when I finally triumphed over them over like 50 tries, I still found my fights versus the Nameless King, Gael, or Friede in DS3, and Kos, Ludwig, or Gehrman had greater emotional aspects. Other issues such as no primary weapon variety or no pvp also disappoint some fans.

    HOWEVER, I do believe that this departure from Soulsborne a necessary move. Some people do expect, and love the idea that, any From game should be the same as any other games that they have played. But you know, let's leave that for Bloodborne 2 (yeah I know, I'm excited about this too). That's to say, Sekiro should be treated as a game of its own kind. I see people claimed that they did not expect Sekiro to be another Soulsborne game but at the same time criticized From for taking a different approach. This does not make any sense. Sekiro is made to be a solid game of its own and From should be proud because they made a game like this. I'm not telling people hating on Sekiro need to "git gud" because I understand that this is not really a reason for all the hates. But I don't really feel like this game deserves to be hated that much from the many loyal fans of From. So please give the game another chance in case you decided to throw it away before and appreciate Sekiro for its own mechanics. Maybe it's not as disappointing as you think. Best of luck and die more.    … Expand

The Souls series was my favorite gaming series by far, but Sekiro came and somehow managed to be a few levels higher than any Souls game. There is only one thing I enjoy more about the Souls game over Sekiro, the variable worlds you explore in Dark Souls are among the best in video games. Sekiro has less variety in terms of land scape, but man is the gameplay superior in every way.

    Sekiro manages to have one of the best progressions in any game I've played. Defeating each boss teaches you new mechanics in the game and familiarizes you with how the combat works. Each boss is a step up from the last all the way up until the end of the game.

    Let's talk about the combat, how has no other game had a posture style combat system before? This seems like it should be the standard for a sword fighting game. Sekiro gives you three options when it comes to killing enemies, stealth, vitality hits on person, and building up posture by supplying a lot of blows that aren't direct hits and parrying at the right time to stagger your enemy for a death blow. This posture system is so good I am shocked no games done it before (at least as far as I'm aware). There are really 8 key parts to combat besides the three ways to kill, there is blocking / parrying slashes / parying thrusts / attacking / jump kicking / prosthetic use / deflecting lightning back at the opponent / and dodging grabs and other unparryable / blockable moves. Each enemy gives you a split second to decide which of these 8 things you want to do at any given time, some bosses have combos that can combo with any other one of their combos allowing for near infinite combability. This means some bosses require to learn every individual combo and be able to identify which combo is coming up on the fly because bosses could use 2 or 3 combos directly in a row. This kind of fast play makes it feel too good when you pull it off and makes you want to master it to do so.

    In FromSoft fashion we also have plenty of secret areas to explore and numerous bosses / minibosses that are optional. I look forward to DLC and more games in this IP to come, it has become my favorite for sure.    … Expand

    To put simply, this game is a masterpiece! From it's look to it's feel it is down right polished! It can be difficult but it's more like a puzzle, memorizing the enemy patterns and knowing how to get past certain attacks.

You have SO MANY options in combat, you can choose to fight your enemy's up close and personal, mastering the art of the parry, you can employ hit and run tactics or you can take a more cautious approach, using your shinobi tools and attack skills to whittle down their health bars, tools and attack skills you can even SWITCH DURING COMBAT! Yes, you can pause during boss fights in this game. The boss keeps blocking your spear? Switch up to the firecrackers. Can't seem to block their attacks? Maybe try the umbrella shield. Can't get that doge timing right? Not a problem, you have unlimited stamina in this game, you can literally run circles around pretty much every enemy.

    Sekiro is not too difficult, and worrying about how hard it is should definitely not be a reason not to buy. If you can't beat a boss or get past a certain area, trying something different, and keep trying until you are successful. Like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges is what this game is about, and finally beating it is one of the best feelings in gaming.    … Expand

    Game might be hard, but everything is when you don't know how to handle things. It's still more forgiving to a new player than a Dark Souls game because Sekiro does not require as much setups. It requires you to undertand the mechanics and truly test you.

    Everything below a 7 in a rating on this game is clearly wrong. Expecting things to be something there not is a sin of your own mind. Rating a game is about you not comparing the title to others or your skill with what you managed in other situations.

    I will claim that the phasing in this game is so good it puts alot of games to shame.
    And like most things in life, if you just "Stay a while and listen" most things becomes obvious.
    The game even got a Tutorial were you can practice your mechanics with ease.

    My last words will be "Git Gud". People who can't stand knowing they have to become better sometimes to reach certain satisfactions will never accept that their not good enough either. You can't be good enough with everything in life, check out Tetris.

    But good lord I was so wrong about this game. Sekiro is a masterclass in both visual storytelling and satisfying melee combat with a progression system that whilst not as expansive as the Soulsborne games is still expansive resulting in different skill combinations (At least in the first playthrough).
    But why should you play Sekiro ? simple, it provides a rush of thrills unlike any game From Software have created thanks to the reworked combat that is almost like a rhythm game as timing the parries is key and knowing when to attack is important also.
    Sekiro also contains a large variety of bosses with their own unique movesets and hazards to avoid and every victory I had was always satisfying giving me a feeling I hadn't felt since finishing the Soulsborne games for the first time moments like Making a God Tier build in Demon's Souls, Defeating Ornstein and Smough for the first time on 0 Estus, Getting the DLC crowns in Dark Souls II, The moment everything gets Tilted in Bloodborne, And the first time fighting Soul Of Cinder as a fan of the series. Moments like this will stay with me and Sekiro has plenty of moments like that if not topping those experiences at times.
    Sekiro is not without it's faults though a good example being how overpowered the "Shinobi Firecrackers" are as I believe most if not all bosses have a flinch effect when the player uses these. Tools like the Sabimaru or the Folded Umbrella feel borderline underpowered with very limited uses in fact I only used the Purple Folded Umbrella on NG+ to make short work of the Shichimen Warrior boss who's projectiles can be easily countered with this tool.
    Also some bosses are straight up bad like The Divine Dragon and The Mist Noble who are basically just obstacles in the way of the player similar to something like Allant in Demon's Souls or The Congregation in Dark Souls II.
    Ultimately though Sekiro is a masterpiece of immesurable scale and should be something in your game library before the end of this generation and I hope we can get some expansion to the lore of Ashina and the characters that inhabit it although a Bloodborne 2 would be nice before that.    … Expand

Then I started with Bloodborne which slowly became one of my favorite games of all time. So I was excited about Sekiro. Um yeah.... its tough, unforgivably tough, more so than any game I've ever played. But I stuck with it remembering that Bloodborne started out like that for me (not to the same degree but in principle). I also assumed that the bosses in the first memory were chronologically the first bosses I were to encounter. So the Drunkard beat me down a dozen times but then I was able to finally defeat him. Virtually seconds away a heart attack I exhaled and continued. OH but what I didn't know i that the real stage boss was right around the corner. Madam Butterfly stomped my ass dozens of times. I tried again and again and again and FINALLY a final deathblow. It was possibly the most fist pumping jump up and down video game moment of my life. I almost passed out. Then I realized that wasn't supposed to be the first bosses. So yeah. Good story. But experiences like that are so rare in games and Ive had them in spades playing this game.… Expand

    Parrying is an absolute joy and feels great when you nail it. There are cryptic NPC quests like in souls. Various endings. Death and respawning mechanics are great.

    The combat is so satisfying and enjoyable. While is a "My way or the highway" style of combat, this combat is done perfectly. No other game has a better and more satisfying combat style.

    Paired with a good soundtrack, an amazingly beautiful world and in my opinion great characters, this game is to me the Game of the Year.

    I would have given a 9.5, but as there is no .5, I went with a full 10.

    A negative point I can think of, is, that the mini bosses do repeat and there's not great variety, but the main story bosses (and an optional main boss) all feel important and the battlefields are fitting to the specific boss.

The combat is completely different from other games, the enemy health bar is smaller but the posture bar is bigger and in your face to tell you that its the most important feature of combat. There is a single weapon in game. There are now skills passive and active which you unlock via skill points. You earn skill points only by killing enemies and bosses. If you die, you loose half of XP earned. There is also currency now from which you can buy items. There is no other weapon but the prosthetic arm does the role of secondary weapon. There are different types and which can also be upgraded by collecting crafting materials. The bosses are all human level except for few bigger ones. Overall the game is not for everyone, if you can parry then this game is easy else its makes boss fight tough since you need to learn boss moves and see for a opening.

    The characters once again are perfect just like most of the souls games.

    The combat and stealth is smooth and satisfying, the prosthetic tools and skills although may be used only for certain enemies or bosses they all have their purpose which is what they where intended for.

    The best game I have played this generation. The game tests your skill. It's so satisfying to parry and kill bosses. Learning the moves and destrying the boss your next turn is just amazing. The story is fantastic and the combat is just the best I've seen in years.

    Improves the combat formula from previous games, making it more dynamic. More forgiving 'bonfire' placement. Best action game out there.

    Игра очень манит своим жестоким стелсом, игра прекрасна, пейзажи,гейплей, все сделано с любовью, игра по настоящему сложная, в целом From Software постарались.

    Un juego con un sistema de combate adictivo y super frenetico nada tiene que ver con dark souls pues en sekiro el que sube de nivel eres tu como jugador y no tu personaje dentro del juego,sublime, para mi el juego del año 2019

    200hrs+ in, and I can say Sekiro is From at it's finest. It's awesome how one studio can keep a formula for so long, bringing actual innovations on each new game. The game's is super tight, and the combat is SO SATISFYING. Bosses are few compared to other Souls entries, but really unique. The world is just plain beautiful, and I don't even need to say anything about the soundtrack because200hrs+ in, and I can say Sekiro is From at it's finest.

    Sekiro and Bloodborne are the reason I vouch for any new IP from these guys. Keep 'em comin'.    … Expand

    В этой игре прекрасно всё: боёвка, сеттинг, лор. 1000/10. Парирование на кончиках пальцев.

    this game is more addictive than any From Software game . It's very difficult and takes some time to master but once you do it's a lot of fun. The only thing I don't like about Darkbornkiro games is it's very hard to play other video games without falling asleep. I seriously need a week or two before I can even try to play a game from another company.

    This game is actually really good and fun. It's incredibly challenging though. It took me about 2 weeks on the last boss, but I'm my second play though it took me 2 tries.

    Well in all aspects, I have tried to look for negative things but I can not find them anywhere, good bosses, good AI, good protagonist, it could continue like this for a long time but it is better that you experience it for yourself.

    No need to explain about this game. You have to play and will notice it’s the best game of this year!

    I like the way to keep using only one Katana with various skill styles and different sub-weapons... it is hard but made me to get over the difficulties.

    Thank you FronSoftware!!

    Amazing game. High quality as usual with FROM software. High learning curve but once you get it, it's incredible. Beautiful graphics, immersive world design, intuitive controls, excellent A.I, haunting music. Prepare to hone your reflexes to lightning speed. If somebody didn't like the game it's because they didn't want to put in the time to learn how to actually play it

    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.
