Customer Ratings & Reviews

Received item, but damaged. Looks like someone cut it with a utility knife.

Had a hard time playing it, and when I tried to return it. They wouldn’t take it back even when I bought it, tried it out for a half hour and then tried to return it. Crap game and the store people didn’t even want to work with me.

I don't know how this game has the overall rating it does, but in my opinion, the rating is not warranted. 'For Honor' was released in 2017 and is 10x better in 2019.

I did not like this game at all . I will not recommend this game to any one. I would return it , if I was able to.

I enjoyed it but I got really frustrated with the games difficulty

Too hard. Too slow. Nice concept but very deceiving for me.

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I Died 10 times in the tutorial alone.

The games was horrible, I would to have my refunds back..

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is not selling Wolf tickets. It is challenging and brutal, but fair. You have a multitude of mechanics to help you along the way and tutorials to allow you to practice the techniques you receive. It is a long story with a long amount of content. Plus, there are no microtransactions. The game is challenging, but if you learn and move like a shinobi (stealth is recommended when possible), you can succeed. Also, if at first you don't success, you can could choose to resurrect and go at it again. Search out every path and take on any enemy you run across, but the loot dropped will help you in the long run. An awesome game.

A little more difficult than expected but it’s understandable given the reputation that precedes the game developer.

I like what I've seen and played so far, but holy cow this game is challenging. I think I died more in the first five hours than I have in any other soulsbourne game. There's some enemies early on who test your sanity. There's some elements of dark souls, but it plays completely different. It's more of a stealth game first, otherwise you'll mobbed and killed quickly. When you do have a straight up fight it's all about precision parrying, timing up your enemy, blocking, using the awesome prostetic arm, and going for those beautiful executions. Can't wait to keep playing, and FromSoftware has done it again.

As a souls veteran this game is not anything like the soulsborne series the combat is fluid and tight. This is a game that will challenge you to your limit and deserves multiple playthroughs. This game teaches you to learn from your mistakes and encourages you to go through so many routes be it stealth full on combat or different styles of combat and I highly recommend it to not only veterans of the soulsborne series but to newcomers as well. This game is not easy so be ready to test your own patience and skill.

The graphics are great and the game is challenging.

The game is fast paced and challenging! So much fun!

Sekiro is very difficult but more manageable than Dark Souls. This game has epic boss fights that will take a good amount of time to master due to how difficult it is. The opening cut scenes had an abundant amount of action!

Be ready to die a lot. You will have to practice moves a lot to get the timing down. The games tons of fun but prepare to be frustrated.

Pretty great game. Controls really well, great sound design, some unforgettable bosses... Although the upgrade system is a little bizarre. Not a regrettable purchase.

I like it as much as ninja gaiden , devil may cry , gow and ghoust of t.

Another great game from From Software great follow up to BloodBourne and the genre.

In my view Sekiro is a decent but not great game. While far from being awful, this game does not deserve the high scores that it has received as result of the unexpected zeitgeist From Software has enjoyed for the past decade. While some aspects are fun and well presented, its shortcomings ultimately stem from From Software's attempt to combine two types of games into one, while doing neither of them very well, or at least not nearly as well as those that are top of class in each category. Sekiro is a ninja/samurai action game and it's a stealth game. While the combat is okay, it is, in my view, completely outclassed by Nioh which not only has the parrying mechanic of Sekiro, but multiple weapon types, 3 stances per weapon and dozens of moves per weapon. Sekiro tries to nail the dance of sword fighting, but Nioh executes that dance much more effectively with greater variety and a much smoother frame rate. The limited attack options in Sekiro basically come down to a game of blocking, parrying, jumping and attacking with a simple fixed combo. The challenge of the game is in learning each enemy's attack patterns and selecting the correct sequence of parries, jumps and attacks to break their posture and deliver a deathblow. When first presented this feels very challenging, but as soon as it is memorized it goes from challenging to trivialized as you learn to fight in the game's intended metronomic fashion, simply keeping the beat until you can deliver a "shinobi deathblow" (fancy name for quicktime event) rather than engaging in dynamic combat. Because the AI is very simple, enemies rarely mix up attacks like they do in Nioh. This combat system is further marginalized by the inconsistency of quicktime shinobi deathblow. Sometimes a red dot appears when you sneak up on an enemy without them noticing, other times you can repeat the exact same scenario with no dot. The jankiness of this mechanic is demonstrated most often in the context of dropping onto an unsuspecting enemy and baiting enemies around corners-- situations in which triggering the quicktime shinobi deathblow seems at times truly random. I'm not sure if this is because the game wants you positioned in a very specific way and fails to account for what is displayed onscreen, or if the variable framerate is to blame. In an event, it creates a sort of randomizing effect to the game where sometimes I found myself missing kills I felt I had earned, and at others getting kills I felt I did not. This aspect significantly erodes notion that one can "get gud" (or not be good) at the game. As a stealth game, Sekiro does much worse compared to the best in class, namely, Metal Gear Solid. The stealth options and AI in Sekiro are behind the original Metal Gear from 1998, and the game is so far behind the stealth mechanics of MGSV that it's not even comparable. At times enemies will spot you when you are completely out of sight and at others they will fail to notice you when you are right in front of them. Unlike Metal Gear, enemies make no changes in their behavior based on your actions. A quick assault and retreat does not result in reinforcements being called in, nor do enemies change their combat tactics or armor choices to defend against over-used attacks. This is a shame because stealth is such a vital component of any ninja/shinobi based game. It seems like a missed opportunity since From Software jettisoned the RPG elements of its previous games in order to focus on the shinobi archetype, which was them hamstrung by lackluster stealth mechanics. From Software has made a fair game, but in order to be great you can't just make a new IP that is decent or perhaps better in some regards than your previous games, you must make a game that competes with what others have done in the space you are trying to occupy. Sekiro falls short of this, but it's still a decently enjoyable game to play for a short stint. I will say that some aspects are well done and more enjoyable than From Software's previous titles. The speed of the game makes it more engaging and as always, the art direction is excellent. From Software's games are always presented with a certain serious mood and artistic design that makes them beautiful to look at and the color palette of feudal Japan is their best yet. The music and voice acting, particularly the work of Noshir Dalal, are spot on. Unfortunately, actually playing the game is not nearly as captivating as looking at it.
