Jun 30, 2021Probably the most refined combat system in any game. You'll struggle early on, but when the combat finally clicks you'll enjoy the hell out of it.
-
Jun 30, 2021One of the best games i have ever played. It just takes a lot of patience and practice to get good at it, but its definitely worth it. Get this game if you are ready to spend a good amount of time on it.

Jun 30, 2021Overall, Sekiro is an amazing game and is truly a master piece at its core you just need patience and determination to overcome all the challenges it puts in your way. This game is a 10/10 no question about it.

Jun 30, 2021Great game for From Software noobs like me, very interesting enemies and combat with just the right difficulty slope :) Definitely worth the money.

Jul 3, 2021In other games, you leveling up your character.
In Sekiro, the game leveling you up. -
Jul 4, 2021If you like Dark Souls, once it clicks, you'll love it more than Dark Souls.
-
Jul 4, 2021In order to see the beauty of the game you have to fight for it and earn it. If you have this attitude then this is the game for you. As I expected, the graphics are gorgeous, the music is amazing, the story is brilliant, and the play style is fantastic! On top of that it's challenging but rewarding!

Jul 4, 2021Never has a game stretch my cornhole this large. Soo good. Absolutely amazing.
-
Jul 4, 2021Anyway, this is a great game from the devs of the SoulsBorne series, the combat is satisfying and the difficulty isn't too bad, if you learn how the game works and how the fights should play out. I highly recommend checking this game out if you're a fan of the 'Soulslike' genre, although it all comes down to personal preference.

Jul 4, 2021Very fun game.....makes you smile all the time and laugh a lot till you have tears in your eyes. I'm very close to completing the game now. Ooh the joy of fighting bosses and those cute mini bosses. If you find a giant bell, just RING IT!!!! Yes I love this game a lot. Totally recommended!!!

Jul 4, 2021One of my favorite Fromsoft games, VERY close to bloodborne and dks1 in the run for my favorite
they raised the already sky-high bar for combat and level design the game also manages to be harder than the souls games while not feeling unfair (to me, at least) at any point. -
Jul 4, 2021One of the best games i have played in the last couple of years!!! Really fun stuff.
-
Jul 4, 2021The swords go clank. blood goes splash. boss goes down. penis goes hard. 10/10
-
Jul 4, 2021After 3 playthroughs and 100 hours of playing I can safely say that this game is great and worth your money. The most fun thing about Sekiro is the combat especially in boss fights when you start getting into the rhythm and the flow of the combat, it feels so satisfying.

Jul 4, 2021This is a fantastic game, been killed 7,000,000,000 times but I'm learning.

Jul 4, 2021This game is amazingly fun and frustrating at the same time. The frustration comes from the difficulty which is expected. Unlike the SoulsBorne games, this is a new type of combat system along with a heavier focus on the story. You will be disappointed going into this thinking OH its a japanese style dark souls.
-
Jul 4, 2021Just remember, you being bad at the game doesn't make the game bad. Parry Souls.
-
Jul 4, 2021Just all-round exceptional game, a masterpiece, plain and simple. Well deserved GOTY award.
Was pleasantly surprised that it's not just a weird souls-like with jumps and grappling hooks set in feudal Japan, but a completely new experience that plays differently in every major aspect. Hope it will do what Souls games have achieved and will define a new sub-genre. -
Jul 4, 2021Cured my depression. How you may ask, well i died so many times in it that I don't want to die in real life anymore.

Jul 4, 2021Wow. Another soulslike, but better than all that came before. Though the story is not as developed as in other titles (like in Bloodborne), the combat really shines. Fights are faster then ever, which makes it intimidating at first, but being good at deflecting enemy strikes feels that much better.
-
Jul 8, 2021Sekiro is one of the best games ever created, it's hard, it's brutal, and it's totally worth it.
If you like this type of games, have no doubt. Buy it. -
Jul 9, 2021Came in expecting unplayable white-knuckle difficulty, left with one of my favorite From Software titles. Wonderful game if you enjoy a challenge.
-
Jul 14, 2021Very challenging, very unique combat, super intriguing story, great visuals and awesome gameplay. All around a fantastic game, you're gonna want to play with a controller however. Otherwise you will have an awful time. But yah sick game in all aspects.
-
Jul 16, 2021I went from hating this game because it was too hard to being so obsessed with it that I 100% it. Give the game a chance. The fighting is tough but it is like a dance, you just have to learn the moves. You are missing out on one of the best games ever made if you give up.

Aug 1, 2021Good combat system that feels refreshingly different to the Souls series. It's great going toe to toe with a human-sized, sword wielding opponent, and trading blows and blocks for sometimes minutes on end. It really captures that sword-fight feeling.

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.
