If you are familiar with From Software games, then you will know this game will provide a tough challenge. One of the most challenging games I've played in a while as this game really takes your reflexes to the the limit. Once you get into the combat it gets really fun. I die a lot, but each death is just a learning experience. If you have the patience, you will enjoy it.

This game is actually a work of art. Playing it made me realize one of the main things that goes into a video game. It is supposed to challenge you. Sekiro was an exceptionally hard game that made me scream with rage with every loss, but I kept going back to it. I could feel the improvement and that alone kept me coming back again and again. The gameplay is exceptional, the design is exceptional and this is definitely one of the best games I have played on the PS4.

plays great, rewards skillful players, but is unbalanced at times and while it expects a lot from players, it also throws too much at you in combat and limits segments with poor level design and underutilized mechanics and equipment.
story is unremarkable, and while the characters are interesting, nothing really happens outside the main plot.
Majority of the game can be stealthed but the mechanics are rudimentary at best and all bosses must be taken on normally, with stealth only serving as a method to reduce the encounter.
it also lacks any replayabitlity due to Having no dynamic game elements, the same level design throughout playthroughs, Stat upgrades limited to Story bosses, and those bosses being unchanging aside from stats.

Although I have not played Dark Souls or Assassin's Creed, this game has both in there in terms of mechanics and difficulty. This game is not your easy-mode run and slice and dice game, you actually have to be careful about where you go and how you deal with enemies. This game is really fun, the Dark Souls and Assassin's Creed aspect add nothing other than challenges and enjoyment to this game (and a little bit of frustration), definitely worth the money =D

I've never been into the From Software style of games. I tried to get into them with Bloodborne, but it just didn't vibe for me. Sekiro on the other hand? A whole different story. This is the first From Software game that truly has captured me as a player and makes me want to progress and master their battle system. It's incredibly rewarding, yet devastatingly difficult and always has a new surprise in store for you as the player. Try it, you may like it.

The game is difficult. But it's difficult in a way that rewards you for learning the mechanics of the game. I found myself discovering land after land and getting lost in the beautiful scenery.
parents: I jammed a Katana into the neck and back of every enemy I snuck up on in the game. Animals and people, blood everywhere. So it's up to you if your want for you 10 year old playing this. I'd advise against letting the kiddies play it.
