    Игра топ без минусов.Сюжет растет с каждой игрой от фромов.Боевка лучшая сторона игры.Графика при бюджете топовая.И,самое главное-тупоголовым казуалам места нет

    Unforgiving at the beginnig. The most hardest game I've ever played, punishing you for every single mistake. But once you get used to it, then after 10 hours master it, the game will be the journey of your life. Nothing can be compared to the feeling you will have after defeating the last boss. It has its own strong issues, but the gameplay swallows them all in the end.

    Абсолютная чушь и худшая игра From Software со времен Armored Core 5, хотя даже ак5 был в разы лучше. Интересных персонажей - ноль, сюжета - ноль, боевка - подкручена у врагов, левел-дизай - какой-то лютый треш. Но, видимо, сейчас абсолютно любое, что выпустят фромы (симулятор говна например), получит высочайшие оценки.

    Curto mas brutal... Mais uma vez um excelente trabalho da From software... Tudo no jogo é cativante, o duelo de espadas e a iniciativa de ataque é o que o faz diferente dos jogos passado da produtora...

    The only bad thing I would improve in this game is the enemy AI, they act like the Skyrim guards.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unlike many of the other people reviewing this game, I am not in fact a Souls veteran. I have completed Dark Souls 3 about 4 times, but that's it. Haven't played any of the other titles. This means that my overall opinion of the game should be fairly objective, since it won't be skewed in favor or against the new game design.

    I absolutely love this game.

    The most common criticism I see against Sekiro is the lack of customization, and when I first began playing the game, I was in agreeance. Coming from DS3, I found it rather odd that I was only picking up consumable items rather than actual loot. But, a couple hours in, it cliqued.

    This is NOT an RPG. Despite the elements derived from Dark Souls (such as idols/bonfires, gourds/estus, etc.) this isn't a RPG. In fact, it's more akin to that of an action adventure game. If you are looking for in depth character customization and build creation, this isn't the game for you. But that doesn't make it bad.

    Sekiro is a game where you follow the events of a particular character. The events are already laid out for you, and it's your job to overcome them. Unlike the souls games, Sekiro only has 2 optional bosses, which are put in specifically designated parts of the game to serve as an extra challenge for an attack upgrade before tough fights (Headless Ape with Owl, and Demon of Hatred with Sword Saint Isshin). This adds linearity to the game, which is perfectly fine because that's what Sekiro is based on.

    I just obtained every achievement in Sekiro. Through the countless deaths and hours I have put in to this game, it has become my favorite of all time. Yes, the combat is somewhat repetitive, but it is immensely satisfying. Exploring a bright and unique world based on Japan was breathtaking, especially incorporated with the amazing audio. The use of movement is exciting, the story is fun to see play out, and it is so enjoyable to achieve the different endings.

    Objectively speaking, this game is fantastic. I highly recommend this game to anyone that won't be offended by FromSoft branching out and creating a new IP well deserved of its current praise.    … Expand

    After playing the amazing Dark Souls 3, I was waiting for this Sekiro more than another game in this year. And it hasn´t disappointed me.

    Talking about the difficulty, I disagree with the people who isn't able to beat the first or the second boss and claim in Twitter, Youtube or any social network that Sekiro must have an easy mode. This game requires you time and pacience to learn the movements of the enemies and improve your attacks if you want to beat all of them. But, the rewards of achieve it is indescribable and takes me to my childhood, when I spent lots of hours trying to win an exigent battle in any old game.

Игроки наконец получили полноценный слэшер, а самое главное стимул не умирать в нём, ведь механической смерти АВАТАРОВ больше нет, есть конкретный герой, что теряет авторитет с каждой ошибкой геймера, а это, по задумке, подразумевает аккуратное прохождение. Дают ли разработчики средства, для данного рода действий? С лихвой! Рентабельны ли такие заморочки или овчинка выделки не стоит? По обстоятельствам, но зачастую все плюхи не связанные с боёвкой, предназначены скорее, как отдушина для разнообразия, а не предельно необходимые навыки. Ну а драконьей жемчужиной здесь станет вразумительное повествование, что пришло на смену абстрактной мистификации и точечному лору.    … Expand

    The corollary of its obsessive refusal to countenance even a hint of compromise is the vast amount of satisfaction it provides when you do finally make those breakthroughs and progress to a new area. If you fancy yourself as a hardcore gamer, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the embodiment of what games are all about. [Issue#177, p.77]

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the breath of fresh air the "Soulsborne" sub-genre needed. It proves that stats, levelling-up, and equipment, is not what makes this kind of games. Instead, what matters is how death is treated, what sort of consequences there are for choices the player makes, and really big doors that open dramatically slow. The verticality of the level design, grappling hook, jumping and almost Zelda-style progression makes this one stand out in an ever increasing sea of imitators. Ultimately, this is more than just a sum of its parts; it's full of mystery, jaw-dropping spectacle and intense satisfaction.
