After Backlogging this game for a while, I finally had the motivation to finish it. There are a couple of reasons why I avoided this game for a while...
The Start: Really frustrating and lack of skills and arsenals early game is demotivating. It just wasn't that fun Until I unlocked Ichimonji and good prosthetics. The fanbase of Souls games will always use "Get Gud" when you say a game is too hard. But this game is legit really DIFFICULT. There is no stat upgrading using souls, you upgrade your health with discoverable items and attack power by using memories of defeated bosses.
You either learn the PRECISE timing of parrying and mechanics or you can't beat the game. Some of the bosses are just so fast and hard to parry... I did enjoy the story and the scenery, navigating around was really dogshit, I hate when games have terrible navigation.
So honestly, you need to either have Godlike reflexes, or a souls fan to enjoy and finish this game.

Everyone loves this game, and while I agree that its incredible and probably FromSoft's best game objectively, its hard for me to call it my favorite. It's good, but that's kinda all there is to it for me. Maybe it's because I prefer the build variety of the soulsborne games, despite the combat in Sekiro feeling much more crisp and engaging. I think I also just appreciate the worlds and map design in the other games more than in this one. Again, this game is definitely amazing and definitely worth playing, I just can't see myself replaying it or calling it my favorite.
Goty of the year. Me he gozado este juego lo que no está escrito. Me encanta la estética, el estilo artístico, los personajes, el combate, la historia, ese maravilloso doblaje al castellano y los bosses. Valoro mucho que sea una propuesta distinta a lo que habian venido haciendo hasta ahora y a la vez que hayan sacado un juego tan púlido. Podría comentar algunas cosillas que no molan tanto o que se echan en falta de otros juegos de fromsoft pero me lo he pasado tan bien con este juego que solo quiero seguir jugando, un saludito XD.
My hottest gaming take,
This game is very overrated. The combat can be played with a parry and maybe a Mikiri counter. Everything else is useless.
Compared to other Souls games the combat is extremely simple. It is just press a single button with no thought behind it. It is very forgiving. So much so that simply spamming the button can get you through most attacks.
The world is okay, but nothing special to me. Pretty good game, worth playing.
