I made it all the way to the final boss (and Malenia) and just couldn't be bothered anymore. Sekiro is still the best of these games, but the legacy dungeon areas are awesome. The open world is mostly meaningless, but I appreciate how it adds a little bit of downtime between each major area.

RPG mechanics continue to ruin this series. Game became way too easy later on, but then the bosses suddenly spiked in aggression and became super annoying to beat. Hard, yes, but mostly just annoying.

Maybe I'll go back and finish this when the DLC comes out. At the moment, I'm just so burnt out, and those final bosses just feel like a waste of my time. It's very rare for me to shelve a game like this, especially when I'm this close to finishing. I suppose that says a lot.
