Jun 14, 2021When you thought Sekiro would not be too hard because you finished:
Demon's Souls
Dark Souls 1
Dark Souls 2
Dark Souls 3
Bloodborne
Think again. It's quite challenging, and the gameplay feels different and refreshing. -

Jun 14, 2021I've never played Dark Souls so I have nothing to compare Sekiro to, It was hard to understand the mechanics at first but once I got the rhythm and patterns of bosses, it was actually really REALLY fun. It was quite the challenge for me, I'm not gonna lie but it felt amazing beating the game for the first time; I achieved nothing in life, but I'm proud of myself xD.

Jun 14, 2021Every other action game seems kinda bad after playing this. Masterpiece of a game.

Jun 14, 2021I fought Genichiro and boom baby, there's that feeling I had back in the day playing DS1 for the first time, learning a boss, improving with every death, finally breezing through phase 1 only to repeat the process for phase 2 and so on. What an epic fight that was. Finally beat him and decided to put my excitement into a review. Love this game.
-
Jun 14, 2021Sekiro has an extremely brutal design philosophy that defies conventional wisdom. When I heard people complaining about the difficulty of the game and how you apparently needed to "flawless" bosses/memorize movesets in order to beat them, I instinctively shrugged such complaints off. Similar statements were made about all of the previous games, and they were never true.

Jun 7, 2021Best FROM game in terms of pure gameplay. Doesn't have a lot of replayability but its pure action throughout.
-
May 31, 2021Amazing game. very challenging and rewarding when you overcome the challenge.

May 27, 2021Love FromSoftware games in general but there is just nothing I like about this game.
Really hope they go back to the winning formula they perfected with bloodbourne and DS3 with their next release -
May 24, 2021Honestly s teir gameplay let's make this review a jojo reference muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda
-
May 20, 2021El juego más difícil de From, con probablemente el gameplay más pulido e impresionante que han hecho y una ambientación y combates espectaculares. Mis únicas pegas son su historia, que no es tan buena como las de los Soulsborne, y la poca rejugabilidad. Si te gustaron las anteriores obras está también lo hará.

May 14, 2021Understandable story, really good gameplay, actually interesting characters, no ***king spooky giant skeletons in pitch-dark caves. Solid 10/10, hoping for a sequel some day.
-
May 14, 2021Don't buy it. It's so good that it has ruined other games for me. Now, any other game feels like garbage in comparison.
-
May 14, 2021PROS:
- Story / Samurai / Shinobi folclore
- Stealth is not boring
- Better dynamic combat than other Souls
- Fast , agressive combat
- Bosses
- Enviroment / Landscapes / Map transitions
- Weapons / Sub-weapons / skills
- Combos
- Deflection / Parry system that works and feels damn good
- Choices matter
CONS:
- The Headless
- The headless
- The headless
- The headless -

May 14, 2021In an era where full-priced games are filled to the brim with microtransactions, locked out content, or boring open worlds with equally boring cut-and-paste content, occasionally a gem like SEKIRO™: SHADOWS DIE TWICE comes along and reminds us why we play games in the first place.
-
May 14, 2021It's one of those games that can get frustrating to the point where you just wanna quit and play something else. But when your adrenaline kicks in and you finally defeat the boss, It gives you very satisfying feeling executing that feels like crack.
-
May 14, 2021
-
May 14, 2021Don't go in expecting a Soulsborne game.
You don't get to customize your character.
You don't get to just use any weapon.
That doesn't mean it is bad. In fact, I think it's a brilliant move. FromSoft has set a narrative with this that makes for a -real- story to be told with the player, rather than AT the player like in other FromSoft titles. -
May 14, 2021Amazing game. Contrary to popular belief you in fact die way more than twice.
-
May 8, 2021
-
May 4, 2021With these impeccable battle mechanisms Sekiro only exposes other games of that genre.
Its a fantastic game all around that you get truly better by grinding and getting muscle memory -
May 2, 2021Умопомрачительный геймплей и замечательная история. Игра проходится на одном дыхании. From Software, низкий поклон ❤️
-
Apr 29, 2021
-
Apr 27, 2021El juego esta bien aunque siento que no se logro lo mismo con bloodborne, ya dejan muy en segundo plano la historia principal y se basa de ir matando jefes que son demasiado pero demasiado dificiles, dejan mucho para la imaginacion y no ponen en terreno los detalles de la historia.
-
Apr 22, 2021Amazing game play, lore and overrall difficulty - it's quite fair TBH, This gem has to be experienced and talked more about. Absolutely recommend if you like a bit of a learning curve and a super rewarding Git gud-feeling.

Apr 19, 2021Sekiro: You are probably going to die a lot more than twice.
Not a game for casual gamers. -
Apr 13, 2021"Git Gud" - These words have never rang truer.
As a long time soulsbourne veteran I will begin by saying that Sekiro is one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult, of the genre. It is also one of the best. -
Apr 13, 2021
-
Apr 12, 2021Fromsoft made a perfect action in a different direction from the perfect previous work. It is not easy to melt a different tempo while maintaining the company's own style.
-
Apr 7, 2021Sekiro is amazing. Probably the best third person action game I've played. I loved the story and world as well.
-

Apr 6, 2021in challenging gameplay, anyone who has the patience to learn how to fight and finish it will realize why it is game of the year 2019. it is not unfairly difficult as some people acclaim it simply invites you to plan a strategy instead of running towards all enemies as if you are indestructible.
-
Apr 5, 2021What a masterpiece. Sekiro is excellent. From its combat, world and story this is Miyazaki magnum opus.
-
Mar 23, 2021Another masterpiece from From software!!! Very different from all their other games but it's awesome

Mar 1, 2021I enjoy challenging games but this game is built off of difficulty and that’s all it has to offer.
-

-
Feb 27, 2021The best game ambientation. Great bosses. Great music. Difficult but is incredible how you learn to play enjoying to the top. It deserves everything. Great job From Software!
-
Feb 23, 2021I had never thought I could beat Sekiro's bosses. Once finished, I'm pretty sure I'll survive NG+.
-
Jan 29, 2021This is the type of game released to be difficult with bad combat mechanics. A complete waste of money. Not a dark souls level of challenge. Just random hard garbage.
-
Feb 15, 2021Sekiro is by far the hardest Fromsoftware game yet. So much so I even disliked the game for nearly 6 months before I enjoyed it. Once I took the time and learned how to play its unique style it made me truly feel achieved by overcoming its massive difficulty.

Feb 10, 2021Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is From Software's most polished and refined project to date. From Software's staple difficulty level is here, with the game mixing an exhilarating combat system, albeit a sometimes unfair and rough around the edges one, with beautifully crafted areas, with the end result being a memorable experience teeming with adrenaline spikes.
-
Feb 9, 2021Sekiro's main quality is its satisfying and rhythmic combat. Every foe encounter keeps you on your toes and makes you feel like a badass samurai. Miyazaki managed to, again, create a fantastic world, with rich lore and superb enemy design and with the newly added boss rushes, this game is a no-brainer.
-
Feb 6, 2021One of best games i played if you like challenge you cant go wrong with sekiro
Sorry my bad english -
Feb 6, 2021I was definitely sure it would be a great game. From Software never fails. I took a few hours to play and that's what I expected. I am in heaven ! Everything is amazing.
Great atmosphere, graphics and story. You can fell the soul of previous games. I was really missing this world a lot. Finally got it. -

Jan 31, 2021Simplemente Obra Maestra
El juego siempre se siente justo. Los combates contra los jefes son épicos en todo sentido(música,escenarios)
Es tan bueno que aunque te maten 100 veces no te va a aburrir y vas a querer seguir jugando. En fin mi videojuego favorito -

Jan 13, 2021Abbandonato , non ha mappa consultabile, non ha livello di difficoltà settabile . Difficilissimo !
-
Jan 12, 2021best game of 2019, this is another proof that, Fromsoftware are the leaders in game design, and challenging video games, the sound, and visuals are outstanding too.
10/10 -
Jan 9, 2021La verdad el juego es muy bueno y la historia es larga y divertida,la dificultad es demaciado genial para mi exelente juego
-
Jan 1, 2021You will like this game after Geneshiro Ashina,because after him you see how you grow ,but it will be hard on bosses

Dec 22, 2020Espetacular. Definiria game! Desafiador e impressionante devo dizer. sem dúvidas, o melhor jogo do ano de 2019
-
Dec 21, 2020This game is incredible. It is difficult, yet it never feels cheap when I die. The bosses are well designed, the music is pretty good, and the combat is fun and never got old. I love the games Fromsoft makes and this game makes me love them even more.

Dec 17, 2020FromSoftware are masterminds for making this game, Thank You Hidetaka Miyazaki for this masterpiece!
-
Dec 13, 2020Зачем слова, хидетака делает шедевры в которых мне всегда хочется сделать платину!!!! Но бладборн все равно вне всякой конкуренции!
-
Dec 13, 2020great game that challenges the player. Interesting story, great gameplay
for people who like challenges -
Dec 11, 2020Speaking seriously for a moment, don't go in expecting a Souls game just because it's made by FromSoftware, this is a completely different game, even if it borrows some key elements from Souls.

Dec 10, 2020Got the platinum trophy for this one. The game becomes a lot easier in subsequent play-throughs and acquiring all skills required too much mindless grinding. Super fun to play if not as memorable as Bloodborne or Dark Souls III.
-
Dec 9, 2020The best combat rpg game ever made. This game is tough, very tough. But once you slow down and realize that this isn’t going to be a cake-walk (just because you beat all the other souls-borne games) it becomes what is probably one of the most rewarding experiences in gaming you’ll have. Fromsoft is aware of their fan base and really delivered with this game--a fresh new challenge.
-
Dec 8, 2020The best from software game
No cam problem, and good fight.

Nov 17, 2020Great game , flawless on pc and ps5 but does have some annoying lagging here and there on ps4 in my experience. It's game of the year award was well deserved . Really hard to play in the morning with the sun shining into the TV. Thats it. I dont know why i have platinumed every single fromsoft game and still didn't buy this masterpiece at launch

Nov 15, 2020Genial obra del maestro Miyazaki !
Junto a Bloodborne son los dos juegos que más me gustan de From Software -
Nov 14, 2020Just doesn't have the same Souls feeling, that I was hoping for. The minimal ways of building your character, makes the game boring to me. One of the few FromSoft games, that I will not be getting a platinum.
-
Nov 14, 2020BEST GAME FROM SOFTWARE Sekiro>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>dark souls
-
Nov 12, 2020this 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.
-
Nov 12, 2020This game gave me a bunch of emotions, true emotions. My favourite souls like game (i played Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne and Sekiro), but in my opinion easiest souls game.
-
Nov 4, 2020I kind really liked the game until final boss fck you software i will never buy a game from you the final boss is a **** if you wanted so bad a bad ass boss make it sub boss not final. I spent so many hours in a **** fight well for me nothing work 3 days for hours fight the day you are a criminals of joy f*** you software
Awards & Rankings

Dec 17, 2024Overall, 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.
-
May 15, 2019Sekiro: 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.
-
Apr 28, 2019Though 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.
