I would say best combat in any game ever. Still. If we don't get Sekiro 2, it will be a shame, because they already have the perfect formula, now imagine cranking it all to 11.
I love this game so much that I´ve completed it 8 times. When it originally released back in 2019 I bought it on Steam, completed it 4 times to get all endings and recently bought it again on PS5, beat it 4 times again and platinum it.
Exactly this. I like games that you learn like a sport or instrument. You get more skilled as you progress. It is more satisfying than collecting XP or loot. 💪🏼
Still the most satisfyingly brutal combat in a game ever! Once you get to grips with the rhythm of the mechanics it becomes so much easier. Also the atmosphere, sound and story is incredibly authentic to Japanese culture and lore.
Today I completed this, my god it was amazing, combat is unlike I've seen in gaming. It's a dance, once you understand it's rhythm, there's no stopping.🔥
Been recently playing the mortal journey charmless + demon bell and… yeah, sekiro is still the best. The feeling of accomplishment you experience when winning against all odds remains unmatched. Still my favorite game of all time
I just got to Mibu Village today, and i was absolutely horrified by the atmosphere of that place. It made me realize how beautiful the game is even in what is essentially a horror setting. Obviously a flawless combat experience, but the world design and art is insanely well crafted in every area, and it opened my eyes to what games can feel like.
Sekiro has the perfect combat system in any sword fighting game i ever experienced. its like an amazing rhythm.From software, excellently crafted the enemies AIs and Boss fights. I will not call sekiro as a masterpiece yet, because of not being a large open world like Elden ring and not having more content like Elden ring. Wish the sequel fulfill my dream.
Different ppl like different things, so this is just my opinion. But I prefer a more streamlined game design where I always know that I am where I supposed to be and each boss fight is designed for the character I am playing right now. Open world and RPG mechanics introduce a lot of problems for me so that I’m always wondering whether I’m playing the game as intended, whether I am over- or underleveled, whether my build is bad, etc. That’s why, for me, having a smaller world and linear experience is actually a feature more than a limitation of the game. 😊
Good review but I noticed one small mistake: resurrecting doesn't cause Dragonrot, only dying does. So never hold back on resurrecting during battle because intentionally dying is what makes it worse. But then again, Dragonrot is such a negligible game mechanic and can be fixed so easily that it shouldn't be something you worry about in the first place.
Why People hated it and why its my favorite of all From games.: 4:31 In Sekiro you are forced to play outside of your " Custom Difficulty" builds(Big Armor. Big Shield. Fastest 2h with best damage. Stack STR. GG Ez). It was on YOU to get better, more; so than in any of FS other games.
I was the same when it first came out…returned the game after a day 😅 Picked the game up again a month ago and just kept trying..the combat does all of a sudden click and becomes easier but challenging. Never thought I’d be good enough beat game but did. Def keep trying and working on the parry system as that’s the key to the combat
Stand still, stand your ground, don’t run around like a chicken without a head. What I’m trying to say is put a restriction on yourself so that your only option is to parry, and focus on that. Once that clicks you’ll be able to do that while moving and combat will open up a lot. After that it’s just pattern recognition
Tenchu was developed by Acquire, not Fromsoft. They made one tenchu game in the late 2000s that was not very popular. Sekiro was initially intended to be a tenchu game, but Miyazaki did his own thing with the story and it grew into a new IP.
I started playing Sekiro last week, it's my first Souls-like game... I hit a roadblock around the Hidden Forest and then the village where they grab you from the ground... I'll probably get back to it, but this area feels like such an unpleasant chore... I did read about an interesting nexusmod that turns Elden Ring combat more like Sekiro, that would be more fun than vanilla
Just run all through the hidden forest until you find the singing voice and get onto the 2nd level (hidden path). Once you take out the singing voice, the hidden forest mist lifts and the voices of the dead fall silent..
@@MikePatterson8831 yeah, I did that part, but it was a foggy white hell until I consulted a video to find the path... now I'm in that insufferable zombie leg grabbing part, wishing I could just get to the temple bosses part of the game
After Sekiro i can't play other souls...i start Play EldenRing 2days ago and...no fun to Play, no fun to watch .Sekiro is the only One - sL game that connected with my heart and soul
I have a similar ish feeling. I am a die hard Souls fan but after playing Lies of P and then coming back to Sekiro, it’s just much better combat systems. I really enjoyed Shadow of the Erdtree but I was missing the combat highs coming straight from P
By far the best made From Software game. The best game I can’t beat lol. I wish another game similar to this existed that had a difficultly system lol.
This game looks a Great Deal like the original 'Tenchu' game, which was nothing short of excellent, for it's time. If so, i will absolutely acquire it, At ONCE!!!
I don’t know about that sentiment - Elden Ring is definitely a step down from games like Sekiro or BloodBorne. It’s essentially a gigantic, open-world Dark Souls, nothing really innovative.
In my first 2-3 hours I was dying a lot on the first mini boss and I was considering giving up and refunding the game but something hit I said to myself “I’m going to beat this game and master it.” But once I mastered sekiro’s mechanics I was hooked. So It’s worth the $30 dollars and the first 4 hours of pain.
That's crazy! Feels like it's only been a couple years at most. Covid really messed everything up. Time flys when you're trying to find toilet paper 🧻 and masks 😷 day in and day out. 😂
Im disappointed that Sekiro is my first souls-like. Because i feel like the others souls-like could never match the combat adrenaline from parrying. Ohhhhhh that sweet sweet TWANG sound. You know the one. Monkey never stood a chance
What a stupid question. Ofcourse it's still recommended. It's a masterpiece. Just don't play it like a souls game and learn the deflect based combat properly
I think there are mostly 2 kinds of fromsoft fans. Some are more interested in rpg/ builds/ loot/ multiplayer/ sandbox - some more in challenging combat. If you belong to the first group you might find sekiro lacking. To me the streamlined experience with less complication around RPG mechanics and more focus on one specific little set of intended combat mechanics with steep learning curve is perfect, so I prefer sekiro over every other souls game.
Ah don’t worry… mostly requires patience. Treat boss fights like practicing a sport. Put in some time, learn from mistakes, repeat. If you don’t manage in a session, come back next day and your brain will have made a lot of adaptions and you will improve. 😊
Idk why FS doesn't implement this kind of combat in their upcoming games. Souls like combat is dogshlt, slow paced and a sneeze festa. Sekiro is one of my all time fav games, I haven't even played Elden Bore because of the snooze combat while i still play Sekiro even after putting more than 500+ hours.
No way bro. I rather souls games offer different variety. If it weren't for demon souls he wouldn't achieve this. I actually like the dodge and roll technique of those games. So each their own.
Whoever finished and played Sekiro a lot will not like the combat system in any other sword fighting games as a whole. Because sekiro’s combat system is perfection.

I'm so proud of the fact that I beat this game I wish I could put it on my resume.
😂
lmao
I’d hire you based on that alone 😂
😂😂😂🎯 for real imma try that
In my country on a resume for work they also ask about hobbies so...
@@NeckNoddin Yes update us about your interview
5 years later and still the best melee combat of all time!
If I was in charge to hire people for a company I would ask ”Have you beaten Sekiro?” If they say yes I would hire them with no further question 😂
Only if they did it charmless and demon bell
Sekiro taught me to love the parry.
because parry in Sekiro actually works like in God of War 2018 and the sequel. But in Dark Souls, parrying is harder the hardest bosses
I still hate parrying 😅 Probably why I don't want to play this game again
Just finished this game recently. Still the best combat system straight out of anime. A bit sad that it has no DLC.
Best combat in the souls like genre
I would say best combat in any game ever. Still. If we don't get Sekiro 2, it will be a shame, because they already have the perfect formula, now imagine cranking it all to 11.
@@Mulisak honestly, this game doesn't need a sequel. Just updates and dlc
It’s not a souls like
@@Mulisakever ? Ehhhh that’s tough man lol I hear you tho
Best combat in any game ever
One of the top three (if not number 1 ) games ever played.
I love this game so much that I´ve completed it 8 times. When it originally released back in 2019 I bought it on Steam, completed it 4 times to get all endings and recently bought it again on PS5, beat it 4 times again and platinum it.
If you grind in other games, your character levels up. If you grind in Sekiro, you level up as a person. For me its the best Game ever made…
Exactly this. I like games that you learn like a sport or instrument. You get more skilled as you progress. It is more satisfying than collecting XP or loot. 💪🏼
My favourite souls game
Literally the best combat in any game ever
It’s crazy because I literally started replaying this game last night. Love this game please make a sequel!!!
We need another banger with this Combat system , Game was so cold ‼️💯
Still the most satisfyingly brutal combat in a game ever! Once you get to grips with the rhythm of the mechanics it becomes so much easier. Also the atmosphere, sound and story is incredibly authentic to Japanese culture and lore.
I still love Sekiro and play it all the time!
Today I completed this, my god it was amazing, combat is unlike I've seen in gaming. It's a dance, once you understand it's rhythm, there's no stopping.🔥
"5 Years Later, SEKIRO Is Still A BRUTAL Masterpiece"
well duuuh ... it was a master piece then it's obviously still gonna be a masterpiece now xD
Sekiro prepared me for life ✊
damn its been 5 years? sheesh time flies
My wife got me Sekiro when it launched, i grew up on tench but hate souls games. Sekiro is easily one of my top 3 games of all time!
You forgot to mention that the game had the hardest final boss EVER in video games 😭
Bro evvveerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Lol...I literally took DAYS (possibly a week!) to beat that fcker!😢😅
Been recently playing the mortal journey charmless + demon bell and… yeah, sekiro is still the best. The feeling of accomplishment you experience when winning against all odds remains unmatched. Still my favorite game of all time
Best game ever, in my 4th play through
best action game ive ever played, after finishing this game i can only play on HARD
I felt more accomplished beating sekiro than I did graduating college
After years of being afraid of the challenge I picked up Sekiro last month & finally beat it! Best gaming decision I’ve ever made.
I just got to Mibu Village today, and i was absolutely horrified by the atmosphere of that place. It made me realize how beautiful the game is even in what is essentially a horror setting. Obviously a flawless combat experience, but the world design and art is insanely well crafted in every area, and it opened my eyes to what games can feel like.
For me one of the beste games I have ever played!
I randomly started to play this again even i did everything you can do in this game two years ago. It's so incredibly good, i cannot abandon it...
Eldon ring and sekiro and bloodborn are my favorite ..never was a fan of of dark souls 1 and 2 ..never played dark souls 3 ..
This game was amazing from start to end. So many memorable moments I just wished we got dlc about Tomoe or something.
Mastered this game, it only took me 5 years!!
1st playthrough of Sekiro...easily the best Fromsoftware title
Sekiro has the perfect combat system in any sword fighting game i ever experienced. its like an amazing rhythm.From software, excellently crafted the enemies AIs and Boss fights. I will not call sekiro as a masterpiece yet, because of not being a large open world like Elden ring and not having more content like Elden ring. Wish the sequel fulfill my dream.
I haven't finished Sekiro. But so far I would give the edge to Elden Ring a little bit. Because you can summon co op partners for help.
There are a lot of repeat bosses in Elden Ring, feels like a quality vs quantity thing there, but they're both good at what they try to do
Different ppl like different things, so this is just my opinion. But I prefer a more streamlined game design where I always know that I am where I supposed to be and each boss fight is designed for the character I am playing right now. Open world and RPG mechanics introduce a lot of problems for me so that I’m always wondering whether I’m playing the game as intended, whether I am over- or underleveled, whether my build is bad, etc.
That’s why, for me, having a smaller world and linear experience is actually a feature more than a limitation of the game. 😊
In Sekiro the fights can really push you to level up your game as a player and not just your character/ build/ equipment/ summons…
Good review but I noticed one small mistake: resurrecting doesn't cause Dragonrot, only dying does. So never hold back on resurrecting during battle because intentionally dying is what makes it worse. But then again, Dragonrot is such a negligible game mechanic and can be fixed so easily that it shouldn't be something you worry about in the first place.
Just started, 22 hours in, died a million times but hooked
Why People hated it and why its my favorite of all From games.: 4:31
In Sekiro you are forced to play outside of your " Custom Difficulty" builds(Big Armor. Big Shield. Fastest 2h with best damage. Stack STR. GG Ez). It was on YOU to get better, more; so than in any of FS other games.
Exactly
Feels as motivating and satisfying as old school arcade games. No bs, great core gameplay, brutal challenge you have to learn to master.
i give up this game because im stuck to that boss called mist noble
The hardest boss I ever fought.
Really? That is the easiest boss in the game. You have to think of parry than attack.
@@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643 nah the boss is too hard bro
My all time favourite by the way, put more than 750 hours into it despite it being a relatively short game for Fromsoft standards. 7:04
Beautiful combat system, was a meh for me for the first hour but after that, wow 🤩
Man, how I wish fromsoft would make a sequel for this masterpiece!
A journey to the west, openworld style would be a dream come true.
5 years later and I still can't get past the first ten minutes of the game...
tried to get into the game for the 3rd time this weekend....closed the game after the first boss...lol. guess I'm not good enough
something something git gud
I was the same when it first came out…returned the game after a day 😅
Picked the game up again a month ago and just kept trying..the combat does all of a sudden click and becomes easier but challenging. Never thought I’d be good enough beat game but did.

5 years later and I went back and got the plat. So worth it
I still haven't beaten the final boss 😢
I played it through until the end, great game but once was enough for me!😮😊
The gameplay usually takes all the praise but the characters and story are damn good too
Crazy that I’m watching this and I just started another playthrough
Absolutely love this game. This and bloodborne are my favourite fromsoftware games. Masterpieces as far as I’m concerned.
This game is something else top 3 games of all time easy
Tenchu was developed by Acquire, not Fromsoft. They made one tenchu game in the late 2000s that was not very popular. Sekiro was initially intended to be a tenchu game, but Miyazaki did his own thing with the story and it grew into a new IP.
I love this game so much. Sekiro and Bloodborne are my favorite games of all time.
Sekiro learned me to parry “bad ladies” no one can beat that.
Wolf! I am forever gratefull!🎉
Also "the serene beauty of Sengoku Japan" 😂 yeah nothing more tranquil than the harmonious splendour of a 100 year long lawless civil war

Check out my game im working on, its a traditional open world ninja experience, its just me working on it currently.
Really only started getting in the Souls genre type games and I really am enjoying the story and the game play.
the combat was so good, it was used is Jedi: fallen order and survivor
After Sekiro i can't play other souls...i start Play EldenRing 2days ago and...no fun to Play, no fun to watch .Sekiro is the only One - sL game that connected with my heart and soul
I have a similar ish feeling. I am a die hard Souls fan but after playing Lies of P and then coming back to Sekiro, it’s just much better combat systems.

Just played and beat this game for the 1st time. This game is a 10/10 one of the best games ever
By far the best made From Software game. The best game I can’t beat lol. I wish another game similar to this existed that had a difficultly system lol.
When I first played this game I died alot , I just bought it again and wow I've gotten si good at this game
The game that I had the most playthroughs (mods) and NG+'s :)
seeing this gameplay feels like a new players gameplay hahahaha
I want a second one sooooooooooo bad
Playing this game in English should be criminal. It hits so much harder in Japanese.
This game looks a Great Deal like the original 'Tenchu' game, which was nothing short of excellent, for it's time.
If so, i will absolutely acquire it, At ONCE!!!
I’m on my 12th play through and am ready for a 2nd title.
Me replaying sekiro every 2year casually
FROMSOFT always raises their game with every title they release
I don’t know about that sentiment - Elden Ring is definitely a step down from games like Sekiro or BloodBorne. It’s essentially a gigantic, open-world Dark Souls, nothing really innovative.
Best game ever made
If u guys love this parry style gameplay I highly recommend rise of the ronin on ps5. It is slightly worse maybe but very close 👌👌 great game
Currently exploring the Fountainhead Palace😅
My first FromSoft title, and nothing has touched it since.
I always consider it when it's on sale. I just wonder if $30 and some broken electronics are worth it. 😆
In my first 2-3 hours I was dying a lot on the first mini boss and I was considering giving up and refunding the game but something hit I said to myself “I’m going to beat this game and master it.” But once I mastered sekiro’s mechanics I was hooked.

I was hoping ghost was like this, i was sadly disappointed.
That's crazy! Feels like it's only been a couple years at most. Covid really messed everything up. Time flys when you're trying to find toilet paper 🧻 and masks 😷 day in and day out. 😂
5 years later and the game is still 60$ lol totally worth it
The price is still brutal on steam for a 5 years old game...
That’s why I’m here watching this😂 I want to get it but I’ll just wait until June.
Im disappointed that Sekiro is my first souls-like. Because i feel like the others souls-like could never match the combat adrenaline from parrying. Ohhhhhh that sweet sweet TWANG sound. You know the one. Monkey never stood a chance
I’ve beaten this game multiple times, it’s one of my favorites, but I just realized I never played it in English 😂. that was odd
Top three for me for sure
Even with all these Mods still the best , needs to travel West for its second phase.
Favorite game off all time ❤
Never played this one, I’m not good at games that require perfect timing for parry’s.
deflect timing is very forgiving in Sekiro
Once you understand it, it’s like any amazing rhythm
Best game🎉
And for the love of all things holy, and Miyazaki too, play the game with Japanese audio.
this is my favourite game of all times. The next one is Ninja Gaiden 2 Xbox.
BRO!?! Tenchu was fromsoft!!!? 🤯🤯🤯
I love souls likes but havnt played sekiro yet.. Is it really that good and still recommended? It doesn't go on sale much on the psn
For sure. My favourite game since re4
What a stupid question. Ofcourse it's still recommended. It's a masterpiece. Just don't play it like a souls game and learn the deflect based combat properly
its on sale now until april 25th on ps store

Strange hearing it in English lol
Got this game about 3weeks ago still haven’t jumped in due to intimidation 😂.

Also, if stuck with a fight check some boss guides on yt and practice the strategies others have discovered
Sekiro is a really great game
I still love it to this day

@PrasathMGM I finished 3-4 stories. Trust when I say I enjoy the other souls games and I'm sure the majority would agree with me.
I have yet to beat this game,damn lol
Sorry but it’s not the titular wolf. the game is not called wolf. it would be the titular sekiro because that’s the title
If it wasn't for the rock paper scissors bs this game would have been epic
I gave up on sekrio. Though i loved ninja gaiden sekiro was too tough.
Try again. I came back after a year or so and then it clicked
Wonder if they’ll put this on Gamepass… since Microsoft owns Activision now
