I enjoyed this game a lot although i didn't think i would. At first I just wanted to get it off my backlog but i really got into it. The missions are really fun and have a lot of ways you can approach them. I was never bored and while the story is kinda meh, same thing with the protagonist, the gameplay makes up for it. This is a great stealth game and a great sniping game.

I absolutely loved this game. The combat system while being super hard to get into (especially for souls fans) is some of the most fun you can have in a videogame. Every clang, every goomba stomp, every mikiri counter, every umbrella deflect is just sooo soo satisfying to hit.
Even without the build variety of souls games i think this one is maybe the most replayable FromSoft game just because of how addicting the combat is.
Also the achievments felt really good to get even tho there are for example: 4 for each ending (meaning you have to beat the game 4 times) or the one for getting all skills and prosthetics which might sound tedious at first but i can't stress how good it felt to go through all the achievments, through all the endings and getting all the prosthetics. It felt like it was part of the game instead of something you can get if you are a completionist i think the game kinda forces you into doing all this stuff (but not in a bad way tho) simply by how fun it is.
In short:
I love sekiro and i want to give Miyazaki a big kiss on the forehead for making this game.

I was hungry for a game that could satisfy my thirst for a good metroidvania (after beating Hollow Knight and waiting centuries for Silksong) and oh boy did this game hit the spot.
I was aware of this game for a long time but never really got around to playing it (which was a big mistake). One day my friend suddenly hit me with the "yo, you heard about blasphemous?" and i was like yea i know about it's existence and since that day he wouldn't shut up about how good the game is and how i need to buy it which eventually lead to me no-lifing this game for hours every day.
The setting and the catholic/gothic scenery is very aesthetically pleasing accompanied by the amazing pixel art.
If you liked Hollow Knight you will 100000% like this game aswell.
psst hey! i think you should go for 100% completion in this game it's very fun

I got this game for free from Epic Games Store and after some time decided to finally give it a go.
And i must say this game is a good metriodvania it has all the things a good metroidvania game should have and the combat system is very fun and good, even the graphics and the scenery is very eye-pleasing but it just didn't hit like other metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, Cave Story or Blasphemous.
I really really wanted to enjoy this game but it just didn't click with me.

I think hitting your ballsack with a rock over and over is more enjoyable than some parts of this game but other than that it's somewhat good.
I had this game in my Steam backlog for maybe like 5 years and i started it like 4 times but i gave up every time because damn is this game hard. But not "Dark Souls" hard more like those "intentionally unfair 2d platformer games" hard.
If this game didn't have such a good soundtrack and art direction i don't think i would've finished it all the way.
Slain isn't a bad game it's just kinda meh.
