Hesitation is defeat. The combat of Sekiro once you understand that it rewards aggression and deflections and ruining your enemy's posture, becomes something totally addicting and unique. Sekiro was by a wide margin the steepest learning curve, but once mastered it ruins the combat system of every other game. The sense of accomplishment this game delivers is unlike any other in my opinion. Some of these boss battles feel so real with how much of a struggle the player has to endure. Sekiro's combat is as realistic as it gets. Best game I've played in a very long time.

I'm writing this as someone who has played all the other souls games on steam and got 100% achievements on them. If you're looking for a game like those, THIS IS NOT IT!!! However, if you're open minded and want to try this game with it's incredible 1v1 combat, then I still couldn't recommend it unfortunately. This is because every area in this game is just gank fights. Enemies legit shoot guns or blow you up as well. I am aware that most people would say skill issue, though I have beaten Gyoubu, Lady Butterfly, Genichiro Ashina, Folding screen monkeys, Guardian ape, Headless ape (so far, I do plan to finish this game). So I've beaten a good few of the achievement bosses. What I can say is that Ashina was an incredible fight. All the ape/monkey ones... hell no. And don't even get me started on the mini bosses, they can do one. Idk maybe my opinion will change on this game? Defintely feels overrated asf Edit: I beat Isshin which felt amazing to do, but still doesn't change my opinion overall on the game. The 1v1 combat is amazing and the boss fights are amazing, but the stuff in between isn't the best i cant lie. I really wanted to love this game, but I guess once I 100% the achievements I won't be playing it again Edit 2: ♥♥♥♥ input reading.

    Когда победил Иссина заорал на весь дом. В комнату зашла мама и хотела пиздануть мне по башке, но я ловко её парировал и оформил смертельный удар. 10/10

    Если покупая дарк соулс ты бросал себе вызов, то покупая секиро ты вступаешь в древнеяпонское гачимучи рабство. Небольшой списочек от кого ты будешь получать п1зды:от живых людей, от мертвых людей, от алкашей, от бабок, от дедов и дед инсайдов, от фанатов наруто, от фанатов аватара, от великана, от маленького дедушки, от рыцарей, от быков, петухов, собак, рыбы, сверчков, змеи, дракона. А в конце игры тебя просто изнасилую и продадут в сексуальное рабство в Ирак.
