A very satisfying and engaging combat system that rewards you with lots of serotonin as you "git gud". The story is fantastic and the lore is very rich and interesting (as expected from a From Software game). Additionally, the level design in this game is also great however I detest the usage of invisible walls in some areas and some areas would've benefitted from more color-coding to help navigate the player (i.e., Senpou Temple). But in general, level design is good and I really like the interconnectedness of each area. To be fair, that is From Software's design philosophy but compared to Bloodborne and Dark Souls, I think Sekiro really takes the cake. In terms of gameplay, the game sometimes suffers from bullshit hit boxes (especially from the non-human bosses -- I hate those) but it fortunately does not happen too often.
