    Disclamer: I have plat in DS3 and BB and I know what I'm talking about. 1. Most important part of the game - fighting system was totally ruined. Not because it's not like SoulsBorne games, but because is bad:

Most important part of the game - fighting system was totally ruined. Not because it's not like SoulsBorne games, but because is bad:
    1.1. The game forces you to respond in a way IT wants YOU to respond to utilise the mechanics that we supposed to be fun: 3 unblockable attacks and 3 ways to avoid them: jump, dash and "front-dash repost/parry". If you don't follow the rules - an attack will get you any way. 1.2. Bad indication- all 3 unblockables indicated the same way. For the "immediate player reaction" gameplay it's the worst way to do it. 1.3. Character is slow and not responsive. WTF?! How is that? The animations of taking damage are insanely long comparing to NPCs and bosses. Block animation as well: if you'll try to play the game "honestly" - parry just at the exact time once, without spamming the block button- you will fail because of the animations. Don't give me wrong, I love the idea of cool old style samurai 1v1 sword battle with all that sounds of clanking steel, but the way it is done in Sekiro - just ruining all that fantasy due to controls. 2. Plot, lore and setting - flat, no imagination, no mystery, no Japanese fantasy ((( Only the last location was "special", you know - something to remember. 3. Useless prosthesis. You just can't use all the gadgets you want all the time you want, because the game forces you to save it - because you have very little amount of amulets that consumes for every usage of every gadget. No build diversity. Hope, that Elden Ring won't have rubbish mechanics and the character will respond to PLAYER'S COMMANDS and not just only to game's rules.    … Expand

    You will enjoy the game fully till the last boss fight, it ruined the game, it's not a hard fight it is just broken, 4 phases will make you look for a way to cheat/cheese, Fromsoft will only react if they find out that someone managed to glitch the boss or discovered a way to turn off his AI to make your life a bit harder and not the opposite.

Most of the so called master skills are as well like retard, a lot are completely useless, like having a execution time of 1 sec that you already got hit, think of it in a battle when you execute a skill would anyone wait you for a whole second for you to execute a master skill on them? the best skill in the game is actually basic normal attack that attacks instantly, which is completely stupid, and i dunno why spending a ton of time getting the skill sets for. I know its a tradition from the games of this company, but its just hilarious when the character is shinobi but its actually like a controlling a retard with stamina of a baby. he has to stick his ass as close to an enemy for an execution, otherwise it performs a normal hit and fail, and easily get killed by some pawn. Much of the time dying is from bad controls this game forces on players, losing focus, bad walled cameras, got cornered by multi enemy, or evasions blocked by wall, this is not fun, as much as a lot of players enjoying it, its actually quite a mess. Boss fighting again requires you to remember all his patterns its more of a memory game than action, and they are rigged to kill you in 2 hits most of the time, and mostly the battles are like chicken run fleeing from hits more than real battle. As a seasoned gamer certainly I dont enjoy a game when the control of the character is like a retard, with the stamina of a baby that dies in 2 hits, although its better doing it in game pad but in pc its just lame. the company should learn from action games like metal gear rising or zoe2, where it has much better speed and balance and the battles are certainly a lot more enjoyable than sekiros suffering.… Expand

These games are all all epic adventures and the most rewarding game titles you will ever play when you allow yourself the time to master the game play and nuances of From Software games.

Initially I was so taken aback by the deviation that I didn't even get to the first boss. I just put it away and played something else, disappointed that I wasted my money on such an overhyped product, after my journey from Demon Souls all the way back in the PS3 era up to finishing Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, I felt the itch for a new game from this company was not scratched. I was so disappointed. But I came back to this 3 months later, forced myself through learning the grappling mechanics, the parry move and the posture meter, the sneaking and deathblows, and when all the components clicked together, I was HOOKED. I devoured this game. Didn't play anything else for weeks. Every waking moment was spent thinking on how best to approach a new area, a new enemy, how to get through them with perfect parrys and no damage.The bosses, the environments, the music. If you can get through the initial hurdle of readjusting from a heavily armored knight, to a moderately armored hunter to finally a nimble shinobi, you owe it to yourself to play this gem. This is a worthy addition to FromSoftware's catalogue.… Expand

    Much worse than dark souls and bloodborne. Every 10 minutes boss or mini-boss. Unseen help doesn't have any sense, because in 10 min after boss, you will die at least 5 times on next boss or miniboss. No fun with this game, don't feel satisfaction after kill boss

    The most intuitive gameplay ever created. Once you learn the mechanics, it has the most natural and visceral flow. The art and aesthetics are beautiful in HDR.

    I enjoyed it a lot even when I probably died more than a 800 times. There were so places where the difficulty was unfair as they just added more enemies to a boss battle, but the rest was fair. That is if you hone your skill
    I beta all the bosses
    And I am proud to say I beat the game

    Masterpiece at gameplay level. This is one of the few REAL games on modern consoles. Not a great story, without good graphics or animations. However, if you loved DS series this is the game for you. Excellent boss fights and really hard to beat(like old school games).

    This game is beautiful and has great soundtrack and voice work. However, being a FromSoft game, I could not get past my own hype. My expectation from this being the next SoulsBorne game prevented my from enjoying this game.

It was insanely difficult and I couldnt wrap my head around its combat mechanics. Then I somehow stumbled all the way up to a certain boss, got pummeled a dozen times and then..it clicked. I blocked, side stepped and jumped over his attacks and delivered punishment in a brutal but beautiful dance of death. I have now completed Sekiro 4 times and it cemented itself as one of my favorite games ever. I'm glad I didnt break that disc after all. Sekiro is From Software's most divisive game yet, but also its most focused. It delivers on everything it sets out to do. It innovates while remaining loyal to its roots and thats hard to achieve. Its also the most cohesive game from japanese developer in terms of its story. Hundreds of wiki pages are this time not required to understand the plot. Most RPG elements are thrown out of the window in favor of fast paced action and skill. I know everyone expected Dark Souls clone, but this aint that. I, for one, would love for From Software to continue innovate and deliver excitement and challenge in different packages instead of falling back to same old formula.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sekiro is another fromsoftware game that never fails to disappoint in the absolute savage difficult the game imposes. Most bosses in the game serve excellent challenges which test your skill as a player and in some cases teach you new skills and techniques. For example Gyobou Masataka Oniwa, being the first main boss in the game, helps teach the player the importance of blocking and parrying. Unless the player adapts to this style of playing they will obviously die over and over and for me, a dark souls veteran, it became a challenge to not constantly dodge roll away from attacks but once I had mastered the block and parry mechanic the game became so much more enjoyable. However not every boss is as perfect as that for example the first corrupted monk can easily be killed by abusing firecracker and fistfuls of ash but overall the bosses are solid and always provide a good challenge. In conclusion the game is absolutely solid but it has its issues with easily cheeseable bosses and broken items which make the game a cakewalk… Expand

Definitely a fresh breath of air from FromSoftware. Intriguing story, authentic swordplay, fun traversal, and unique progression system. I’ve been a fan since Demon’s Souls for the PS3 all the way to Bloodborne and all the Dark Souls in between.
    Which is why this truly hurts me that I had to sell the game because I simply wasn’t having fun with it anymore due to the extreme difficulty. I got all the way up to the old monk and then I finally quit. My passion my enjoyment and and my will gave out. Instead of having an awesome time with this game I was instead looking up on YouTube finding ways to cheese these bosses and having no gratification with the end result, and when I thought the combat finally clicked here I was stuck with another impossible task. Every boss felt like a chore and not a “Mount Everest” to climb...
    If this game had a mode that made it a little simpler I would re-buy it in a heartbeat. (Theres no online, so who would it really hurt besides egos?) And this is coming from somebody who has the platinum trophy for Bloodborne and put 250 hours into that game alone. So I hope somebody from FromSoftware reads this post and takes into consideration the next time they release a game that they don’t have to make it as difficult as possible for the game to sell to the point where it alienates most players. I still recognize the beauty of the game but I cannot except the difficulty.

    Fast forward a month... So I went and bought the game... again. I finally beat it. I gave this a game a 5 before, i'm bumping it up to an 8. I still stand by what I said, but the combat has grown on me. Lack of variety build really hurt this game. There's only a certain way to play it... unless you cheese it. Interesting story, lack of meaningful prosthetics, stealth was just okay.

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.
