However, some players find the game's difficulty challenging, citing a steep learning curve and demanding boss fights as potential drawbacks. A few also mentioned frame rate inconsistencies. Overall, the positive feedback on the core gameplay mechanics outweighs the concerns regarding difficulty.

    If you're a fan of the Dark Souls/Bloodborne games, you won't be disappointed with Sekiro. It shares many similarities with the previous From Software games but has enough changes and additions to feel fresh and different. The world design is absolutely top notch, with the grappling hook ability adding a sense of verticality and depth not seen in previous Souls games. I would say the game's difficulty has been grossly exaggerated. It's definitely challenging and can take some time getting used to the complexities of the combat system but it never reaches stages of ridiculously, controller smashing hard. The bosses are all well designed, feeling tough but fair. In fact, I'd say the most challenging encounters are the few optional bosses. So if you're just looking to clear the story, it shouldn't be too much of an obstacle, with a little practice of course.

    FromSoftware’s best title yet. Engaging, challenging, and satisfying combat, mixed with a beautiful setting and more accessible story earns this game the GOTY status it deserves. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging yet rewarding time.

    This a great and extremely challenging game, but it's a fromsoftware title, so that's to be expected. This game is beautiful graphically, amazing story and hard as hell! Luckily I played Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order first so I can get a headstart on the mechanics a little. Prepare to be frustrated

    Sekiro is possibly the best action game I've ever played. It's combat system is incredible. You truly feel like you are in a sword battle--sometjing games have never been able to perfect until this. If you're a fan of dark souls, there is a slight adjustment but you will love this game.

    Sekiro is a great game that is extremely challenging. If you want a game that will really challenge you then I would highly recommend Sekiro. On the other hand if you are somewhat of a casual gamer I dont think you will enjoy the game much, so I would recommend you try it out first then decide if it's for you.

    this game is incredible. it maintains a lot of the soulsborne story telling charm but follows a more cohesive narrative path. the combat feels extremely rewarding but is much more aggressive than even bloodborne. it does rely heavily on twitch reflexes with the parrying system, so that may not be for everyone.

    One of best games I've ever played, not the mention the hardest, I mean extremely hard, it deserves the "Game of the Year" honor. The boss battles are challenging and engaging, you will die a lot. Over all its worth it, I strongly recommend this title.

    From the creators of other difficult/rewarding games like Darksouls and Bloodborne comes SEKIRO.....a story of redemption as you try to save your young master. Great gameplay DIFFICULT YES but not an impossible game.....FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW/HOW YOU PLAY DARKSOULS this game is a quicker pace not as fast as Bloodborne but it takes its sword fighting gameplay up a notch no more avoiding all hits with a dodge roll. Absolutely love this game the art style looks amazing the game environment and graphics really shine and come to life.

    Not a souls game

    Don't go in expecting a souls game and you will be happy. From has married that tough but fair game play and combat with a more action oriented game that blends stealth and action. Master the parry move or strike from the shadows. Posture is extremely important in the game. It is really tough but if you can stick with it you will feel rewarded. I do wish they had difficulty options here so that more could fully enjoy it, but from is what they are.

    Do NOT play with a heart condition or without an extra controller available. Gamer rage is real and controllers do NOT bounce! Difficulty is high and that's what makes this game fun. Similar to the Souls series. Great visuals and tight play control. If you like a challenge, this is a must buy.

    Most games are too easy, they are designed for 12 year olds to be able to complete them with very little difficulty. Not so with Fromsoft games. They are hard. And this one is probably the hardest they've ever made. Good stuff

    A Superb, if flawed, FromSoft departure

    Fantastic game. Major gripes come with weapon variety and tendncies to overdo, and underutilize, the game's core mechanics. However, these complaints can be easily addressed in the plausible sequel. Otherwise, love just about everything from this game, from the more colorful nature (compared to other FromSoft games) and its tight gameplay flow.

    Probably one of my favorite games of all time. Price may be a little steep but I would’ve bought this for $60 if I needed to. Very difficult and challenging but just takes patience and practice to get through.
