    This game almost made me kill myself. But once you overcome the hardest of **** namely Genichiro, Guardian Ape and Isshin the Sword Saint, you will feel so much accomplishment, that it will be worth it. One of the best games i've ever played

    Los fanáticos de souls me van a odiar pero este es el mejor. Es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida, es realmente difícil y da un placer enorme derrotar a un boss sin ayuda. Pero no se queda en ello, los gráficos la música y la jugabilidad hacen imposible que te aburras con el. Lo he ganado 4 veces porque no te aburres de recorrerlo.

    in 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.

    This 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.

    the hardest best Fromsoftware game ever created with the best narrative story plot awesome endings phenomenal character development awesome NPC the mind of Miyazaki is so creative full with so much fantasy innovation i loved every second of this game this game will make you a much better gamer and hone your skills that transfer into other games as long as you have patience and i am stillthe hardest best Fromsoftware game ever created with the best narrative story plot awesome endings phenomenal character development awesome NPC the mind of Miyazaki is so creative full with so much fantasy innovation i loved every second of this game this game will make you a much better gamer and hone your skills that transfer into other games as long as you have patience and i am still playing it to this day this game is the hardest game ever made its not for everyone if for those games that are hardcore gamers that want to become god tier gamers its a game that pushes your brain capacity to the limit and the gamers that have the patience to beat this game to give back Kur's charm and play with demon bell and no kuro charm to master this game like me have my most utmost respect i even respect people that are not as good gamers but are stubborn and put effort into beating finishing this game even if they dont want to comeback and play more thats on them they will miss the other endings and secret boss fights. Sekiro is very punishing yer rewarding and requires you to get good at deflecting think of deflecting as rhythm getting your timing correct the combat is very good you have plenty of arts shinobi arts and your shinobi prosthetic arm to work with the combat is fast paced faster than bloodborne be aggresive on your attacks and you will need to have great reflexes being patient having good cordination and great timing dodging properly will get you a long way because later if you decide to futher punish yourself to master the game and improve your skills like me go without Kuro charm and + demon bell that means if you dont deflect perfectly you take damage bosses have so much more damage posture and health as do enemies and they break your posture very fast you gotta master deflecting and doding and using your prosthetic arm and shinobi tools and shinobi arts at the same time sometimes just perfect deflecting wont do you any good in NG + 2 you are already getting killed in one hit and bosses break your posture very fast as long as you dont give up and you have patience to continue dying and playing you will get better at the game you will build muscle memory faster reflexes your senses will sharpen it's a punishing game made for the soulsborne fans its made for the hardcore and god tier gamers which are at the top of skill in gaming this game is mength to test fully what you got it will push you to the limit you will either get better and push past your limit evolving your skills and enjoying how much better your getting and how much better you playing and you will enjoy the entire game or you will become the one thing in gaming disrespect the most a casul gamer that never wants to get stronger and improve and play games on easy or normal difficulty and when he clashes with a game like this he becomes a quiter a btch ass niga that will give up miss out on a phenomenal game and quit and run to play fortnite like a coward staying the same weakling casual scrub they always have been.My biggest disappointed is where is our Expansion The Lighting of tomoe i mean thank you Miyazaki for the DLC you gave us with the boss rush and new skills but all of us fromsoftware fans would have loved The lighting of tomoe Expansion i really hope this game gets a sequel because Wuchant Fallen Feathers from The Chinese are already stealing from Sekiro and Bloodborne i would Prefer Sekiro Sequel From Fromsoftware and Miyazaki which are talented Japanese developers rather than having to play A female Sekiro Wuchag The Fallen feathers where they are absolutely stealing all if your sounds and animations UI From Sekiro and Bloodborne.This is a must play game for gamers that seek to attain greater skills by striving to improve to enjoy a great narrative story and a fantastic semi open world filled with so much innovation fantasy and a fatanstic combat system dont give up become stronger acquire strength think of death not as annoyance but as a new begining for you to keep trying and keep getting better. Set your heart ablaze surpass your limits. Hesitation Is Defeat !… Expand

    Чел...эта игра года и у неё очень положительные отзывы ВЕЗДЕ и у тебя всё ещё есть сомнения ? Если нет и ты не боишься что при первом прохождения прожечь свой стул смело покупай!

    Более подробный обзор(для тех у кого все ещё остались сомнения о покупке) :
    Для меня эта игра- лучшие творение From Software
    После этой игры я не могу играть в дс 2 из за того что она кажется медленным говном
    Я выбил платину(4 прохождения на разные концовки) и прошёл её лишний раз с дебаффом амулета и колокола
    Мой предыдущий опыт в играх от From Software составляет даже на половину не пройденный DS 2
    Плюсы:
    +Локации (Дворец первоисточника с его красивейшим видом- это лучшая реализация особенности японской архитектуры в играх )
    +Саундтрек (очень хорошо синергирует с происходящим во круг игрока и вписывается в сеттинг игры)
    +Сюжет (Конечно, не венец голивудского творения, но для жанра соулс лайк он более открыт для игрока и не вся история сокрыта в описании предметов в отличии предыдущих игр разработчика)
    +Боевая система(Не так проста в освоении (если для вас это первая игра в жанре SL) , но при её полном изучении вознаграждает приятной визуальной реализацией боя, чувство что это не битва, а танец) (очень сильно это видно в битве с госпожой бабочкой)
    +Боссы (имеют свои тактики, но при первом прохождении жопу вам порвут точно)
    +Турниры силы и дуэли с боссами (невероятно штука, которая выбьет все дерьмо из любого чела вне зависимости от его способности и знания механик игры, ибо боссы в этом режиме имеют слегка измененный мув сет. Под "слегка" я имею ввиду ключевые удары и фишки самого босса из за которых иногда вообще складывается ощущение что его пройти нельзя. Генетиро например может за 1 секунду пройти расстояние во всю арену и нанести 2 удара не заблокировав которые можно умереть имея полное хп)
    Минусы:
    -Начальное управление (LB и RB при блоке и ударе (играю на геймпаде от хуана) просто не удобны и лучше забиндить на LT и RT (на самом деле исключительно моя придирка и минус не имеет право на объективность т.к. управление- дело вкуса и вообще некоторые на барабанах бонго игру проходят и им норм
    -Боевые стили( большая часть бесполезна и вообще не используется в прохождении (кроме микири или удара тени в некоторых местах)
    Итог: Игра очень качественная и полностью оправдывает свою цену в 2000 руб. Я могу порекомендовать игру поклонникам игр From Software и рекомендую новичкам жанра повременить с прохождением Sekiro и пройти трилогию Dark Souls, потому что есть вероятность что динамика DS вам покажется очень медленной после прохождения Sekiro

This game really gave me the gaming experience, not just cutscene-watching and killing lame NPCs experience. You can really feel how you progress through the game exclusively because of your skill and not because grinding or, god forbid, lootboxes. Another thing that I like about it more that I did about Dark Souls 3 I played next, is that its fast. In DS3 I would sometimes rage when I got hit because my character was too slow, but in Sekiro I know - I got hit because I was slow. So if you're not afraid of challenge and have patience, this one is a must-have.… Expand

Sekiro shadows die twice feels very good to control and while having a big learning Curve after mastering the combat it feels very fluent and you can also feel every deflect and every blow. the Bosses were the Highlight for me i didnt hate a single one (if we dont count headless). a perfect game with great level design, bosses and combat. totally deserved the game of the year award.… Expand

    This is one of my favourite games of all time. The reason I love 'Sekiro' and 'Bloodborne' is the forward thinking combat and the way the game forces you to get better and perservere, and this is a truly wonderful video game.

    This is the best AND easiest FromSoft game. The story is from good to great at some places and the combat, ohh the combat! It is the most satisfying thing ever.

Ever time you pull off a parry you feel like a badass. The level design isn't as Dark Souls 1 for example, but at the mid-point it branches out in 4 different directions to 4 different bosses. To be fair you can't complete a whole section without interacting with another one, but , in my opinion, that just encourages exploration more. The bosses are the best FromSoft has ever created and they are all distinct from each other and feel super satisfying to beat. The game, how ever near perfect it is, lacks multiplayer and a bunch of RPG elements expected in FromSoft games, but I just find the common Dark Souls stile a bit overwhelming, I personally prefer the simplicity that Sekiro offers. To wrap this up I have put around 130+ hours into this game and I love it to bits, it may not have the replay-ability as some other Soulborne stile games, but for me the core combat is fun enough to still be engaging after all this time. Also the free update they added recently has some more endgame content, other than new game + and is the most challenging thing (by far) in the game. This is a 10/10 masterpiece and is worth every cent. Good luck out there and remember to stay strong, Wolf!… Expand

    Sekiro 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.

    "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.

    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.
