Sekiro is one of FromSoft's finest games ever, it is absolutely incredible and a definite masterpiece of gameplay blending with storytelling. It is truly amazing.
It is a game almost on par with Dark Souls 3 (However I slightly enjoyed 3 more than Sekiro, due to smaller things).
Gameplay - Sekiro is a smooth and crisp game with each piece of gameplay flowing and melding into each other. The fast and high action combat separates itself so heavily from souls combat with more of an emphasis on parrying, allowing fights to be visceral. On top of this, the lack of in depth gear systems streamlines the gameplay loop and makes you more attached to a playstyle so you can learn the skills of this game to an optimum level. However, the game does feature a weapon art system that absolutely blows away any other similar system in a soulsborne game, with the addition of this they compliment combat and change it up in spectacular ways.
World - absolutely stunning world with level design that compliments a mix of stealth and action. Each area felt unique and complimentary to every system and the environmental storytelling devices. The best areas especially come in the latter half of the game, the level design is mainly linear however it is presented in an open style with backtracking and the usual for a soulsborne game. All in all, this game is one of the best put worlds FromSoft have developed.
Story - The story again is presented less linearly than a souls game, filled with storytelling cutscenes and hard hitting revalations, the lore is well told mainly though fully told dialogue and storytelling devices, however they have also kept the item descriptions presenting lore. However, I believe this story, while it is still really good, it doesn't quite hit the levels of bloodborne and dark souls 3
Bosses - Incredibly well done, perfectly implemented with only very few bad bosses, almost all of the great bosses present the hardest challenge in any souls game, but beautifully transitioned into the new style of parry combat, they have excellent hitboxes, move sets and amazing boss arenas. Some of the greatest bosses in the series, most of chich being a surprise so I won't spoil any.
As stated, this game is absolutely marvellous and one of the best I've played, especially for fromsoft gmes, games should take lessons from this
and It deserves every one of this 9.5/10
amazing
