This game is perfect and I don't think I've had a gaming experience like this before. Fighting bosses felt like training. I knew that, with enough time and practice, I'd eventually beat even the hardest boss. You really do feel yourself leveling up as you beat each boss.
The only flaw is the intro. Truly, everything before Jinsuke Saze feels like a waste. The enemies and bosses do almost nothing to teach you how you're supposed to play the game.
Jinsuke Saze is the first instance where the game pulls the gloves off and stops messing around. If you can beat the pair of Jinsuke and Genichiro, you're more than set for the rest of the game.

Amazing combat system (perhaps the best OAT) the gauntlets of strength are really some of the best additions of any fromsoft game. The most rewarding gameplay and bosses I have experienced and really I don't understand why a similar thing is not included in games such as Elden Ring (the gauntlets of strength that is). It works especially well with the combat in Sekiro though and has me really anticipating a Sekiro 2!
