I've played all SoulsBrone games including Demon's Souls. Sekiro is harder than any of them, mainly because there's no grinding anymore. You HAVE TO fight the crazy bosses at a level that was designed by the game makers, which often times is devastating.

It's a great game that, while it can be frustrating, becomes very rewarding as you master the style and moves of the character. The world is filled with places to explore, and the game keeps you interested in what's around the next corner.

Sekiro sticks to the Souls/Borne formula, but also stands alone as it's own. The AI is superb, and the battles are as fluid as ever. Definitely recommend for people who enjoy a good challenge, and also like old Japanese culture. It's a 10/10 for me.

Simply put, this is an excellent game. No other adventure style game touches Senior. The deflecting, bosses, terrain and lore are all incredible. It’s not an easy game, but is incredibly rewarding to advance throughout the game because of it.

I picked this up on Black Friday. Like other Soulsborne games, this game is very challenging but success and progress feel very rewarding. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy FromSoftware's other games.

A masterpiece of action adventure stealthy grapple hook mythical gameplay. Immensely challenging but not as difficult as some might lead you to believe. Easily in the top 10 of all PS4 games.

Being made by FromSoftware, the comparisons to Dark Souls and Bloodborne were obvious. Though Sekiro does draw a lot of inspiration from those titles, it's an amazing game in its own right. This game is all about parrying and countering. Many enemies require you to break their posture before you can defeat them and mastering that is key. The world isn't as open as the Souls games but it's filled with many twisting paths and shortcuts like them. Being a FromSoftware game, it's challenging so if you're looking to breeze through a game, this ain't it.
Sekiro is an amazing title for any fans of ninja based games but it's definitely not for the weak at heart.

Christmas gift for my grown son. He said this was the game of the year and after watching him play it...I can see why. Very challenging game. This will take him more than a few days to complete, which translates to a good value.

Definitely worthy of the game of the year title! It's very challenging, but well worth it because the story is really interesting! And the boss battles are all very unique!

If you were a fan of the Tenchu series and or the Soul series this game is for you. I find it challenging but a little easier than the soul series of games but that is a specific opinion of mine. The game is gorgeous and controls are precise.

If you belong to the cult of "Git Gud" this game is right up your alley. The game had me put down the controller a few times and come back later it got so frustrating. This game does reward stealth and thinking outside the box though.

Game is brutal from the beginning but a dark souls/ninja themed game makes it worth it in the end. Controls take a little getting use to as well as the boss’ movements but don’t get thrown off by that, this game has a lot to offer

I love the setting and graphics. It is very hard until you get the moves down but it starts to click with patience and practice. If you've had trouble with games in the Dark Souls series or Bloodborne you may want to sit this one out.

This game rewards the player with difficult challenges that are overcome through practice. It is very gratifying to face a challenge you think is impossible and with a little effort have an epic battle that you win.

Insanely difficult, just like all of the games from this developer. I feel like the difficulty can turn some people away, but to me it keeps me trying and trying until I can get past that boss.

One of the best games I've ever played. Platinum'd it and beat it 5 times. You must be patient and willing to learn. Once the combat clicks, it's literally addicting.
