Once you've played one Souls game, you've gained the skills to play them all. Except for Sekiro - fuck Sekiro. This game brought me back to all the rage I felt when first playing Bloodborne. Only by the end of Bloodborne, I felt competent at it and actually first tried a few bosses. By the end of Sekiro every new enemy was just as bad a slog as when I started.

I'm willing to admit that the game's still well-designed; it might just not be for me. I enjoy the exploration side of these games way more than the combat. Sekiro has a few good souls-y intertwining levels, but most are linear runs to the end with a bunch of annoying enemy groups. This is a game about memorizing animations in boss fights. That's never been my favorite thing in FromSoft games, but if you enjoy it then more power to you.
