Kinda stuck between Nioh 2 and Sekiro, it feels like the game lacks it's own identity. It's version of Sekiro's parry system is much more lackluster and while the regular combat is clearly a remnant of Nioh 2 it lacks the combos, stances and variety of that game. The best course of action for basically all the bosses is to never attack and simply dodge/parry all their attacks until you have worn them down enough to do a special attack. This might sound boring, and it is, but attacking the bosses just puts you at a lot of risk but more importantly you barely do any damage to them at all. This is kind of how the entire game feels. Sadly a let down.
