Summary

"Carve your own clever path to vengeance in an all-new adventure from developer FromSoftware.

Explore late 1500s Sengoku Japan, a brutal period of constant life and death conflict, as you come face to face with larger than life foes in a dark and twisted world. Unleash an arsenal of deadly prosthetic tools and powerful ninja abilities while you blend stealth, vertical traversal, and visceral head to head combat in a bloody confrontation.

Take Revenge. Restore your honor. Kill Ingeniously."

Storyline

The game takes place in a re-imagined late 16th century Sengoku period Japan. At the end of the Sengoku era, warlord Isshin Ashina stages a bloody coup and seizes the land of Ashina. During this time, a nameless orphan is adopted by the wandering shinobi Owl, who names the orphan "Wolf".

Twenty years later, the Ashina clan are on the brink of collapse due to a combination of the now elderly Isshin having fallen ill and the clan's enemies steadily closing in from all sides. Desperate to find a way to prevent the fall of his clan, Isshin's grandson Genichiro captures the Divine Heir Kuro, in hopes of using his "Dragon Heritage" to create an immortal army.

Great swordplay, the human bosses are the best. Can be pretty difficult at times as expected from a fromsoftware's game, but most bosses haveGreat swordplay, the human bosses are the best. Can be pretty difficult at times as expected from a fromsoftware's game, but most bosses have a weakness you can use to make you gameplay easier even with average mechanics, for example fire crackers can make the warrior on a horse boss pretty easy, and the game gives a hint about it as well.Some people say that they would not recommend it to someone new to soulsborn games, but think it might be the perfect first game.The setting isn't dark and pressuring, which I enjoyed and a player doesn't get overwhelmed with a **** tone of stats and possible builds.The graphics are pretty good the performance is good as well

I've never written a game review before but now i had to because of this game, i played it a bunch of times when it first came out on consoleI've never written a game review before but now i had to because of this game, i played it a bunch of times when it first came out on console and will continue to do so now since i got it on pc.if there was a game that best describes a balance between fun and difficult it would 100% be Sekiro. usually a lot of difficult games tend to go with the most tedious and boring routes to make it self harder (boring) for the player, but this game is completely different, the gameplay is just perfect it honestly changed the way i look at other games drastically, its also the game that got me into the whole souls games. no matter how many times i play it or comeback to it, its always a blast, and never fails to give me the best time, the repetition of some mini-bosses might be a little annoying to some people but i've never really noticed it until someone mentioned it to me. To me this game is just a masterpiece, its a must try for everyone, who knows maybe it would end up affecting you the same way it did for me :)

But, it can be easy game if you can mastering the basic, mastering the code of patience and learning ultra instinct to reflect (of course ... like Goku in Dragon Ball Super). Sekiro's first playthrough is the hardest of them all, it was pain, harsh, torturing, brutal and made people rage quit.

Fast-paced, visceral, and far more realistic than previous souls games.

Combat consists of breaking an enemy's posture, which means attacking them, deflecting their attacks, and other special actions. This is the big win of this game. Fighting is about rhythm. Since enemies always have the same move combos, you can detect the rhythm of their attacks while blocking, and the next time you see this, just repeat that rhythm with your deflect button. This would become boring after a while, but the perilous attacks add a little spice to the equation. Honestly, the idea of going back to Dark Souls seems slow and unappetizing after this game.

Once you overcome the hurdle that is relearning how to approach FromSoft's games, this game gets easier. It's no small task though, as I got pummeled until forcing myself to play this for what it is. A fast paced action game with unequaled and unforgiving satisfaction derived from combat.
