    Such a great game I ever played, it might be the best action-game of all time. Unbelievable gameplay and perfect narrative based on true Japanese myths. Fascinating experience awaits

    Incredible game. My only problems are that I wanted a little more content and that most of the abilities aren't really useful.

    One of the best Games known to mankind.
    From Software is a safe heaven for the Gaming community.
    Especially in times where big Developers dissapiont us with theyr fraudulent intent.

I came into this game with mixed expectations. As a soulsbourne veteran, i was worried about a game without customization, and parry/deflection based combat but it just simply works perfectly in this context. The combat quick paced combat is intense and satisfying. The removal of the stamina bar allows you to focus on the enemy and what they are doing rather than staring at your green bar go up and down. To me, the combat with bosses reminded me of learning an intricate dance with ebb and flow. Most fights require an aggressive mindset where you chip away at the bosses posture, but you must also know the proper response to everything the boss can through at you including the perilous attacks. These unblockable but can usually be highly countered. When the opponent uses a thrust attack, you can dodge into it to perform a mikiri counter. These do massive pasture damage and allows you to continue your aggression. In true FromSoftware fashion the boss fights are incredible and beating them is a rush i haven't found in any other game developer. While i was sad to see weapon customization go by the way side, FromSoftware was able to prefect the katana is every way. This isnt to say customization is gone either. The game allows you to experiment with the prosthetic attachments, and includes FromSoftware's first to my knowledge skill tree.

    I can't begin to explain how amazing the world building is in this game. All of the locations are beautiful and varied ranging from a corrupted temple of monks to a canyon of crazed monkeys. Everything was a joy to explore and fight my way through.    … Expand

    Ambientacion brutal, accion sin descanso, una historia que te engancha y dificil, muy dificil, pero a la vez muy muy satisfactorio. Hay que sudar sangre para terminarlo, pero la sensación de superación que te otorga este juego, no te la va a dar ningun otro.

    Best souls game ever. Combat is perfect, although there is a steep learning curve, the deflection timing is a lot more forgiving that bloodborne or dark souls and the world is beautiful.
    Hope there will be a sequel.

Also, I think people need to understand that this isn’t a dark souls game. Stop leaving negative reviews comparing it to dark souls.

    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.
