I had to remake my play style for this game because my controller was so old it couldnt handle deflecting and i was fucking broke at the time so i essentially had to trade any deflecting with speed placement or a straight dodge then i found out you can use floating passage while having your sword on fire and suddenly every boss fight went from a dance to a toe to toe match of pure aggression and speed and that worked all the way until i got to father owl and i had to disect every pattern and tell this man had and it was probably the greatest victory i had in gaming period
I did 5 playthroughs in a row of Sekiro and broke both of my Xbox controllers LB buttons! lol...and then I bought a new controller and broke it playing Nioh...I switched to dualsense controllers and haven't had an issue since...I fuess i'm just too rough for the thin plastic and mouse click style button on the Xbox controllers...

Sekiro was my FIRST souls game ever. A major alcoholic, i was struggling to believe i could ever actually quit, even once my doctor said my kidney was starting to fail. then Sekiro came out and my friend encouraged me to try out the game and by the time i finished sekiro i had completely changed my mind. i COULD quit drinking. (Yes i beat Ishin while drinking, i distinctly remember that day, it was 930 am and i had already done a shot or two of vodka. Ishiin was all i had left to do. took me less than an hour, about 4 tries.) Bloodborne was next and by the time i finished the souls trilogy, i was on my way to sobriety. now, 5 years ish later, im now sober with rare beer occasions. and by rare i mean like 2 or 3 times a year. Sekiro saved my Kidney.
Hey mate really glad to hear that me am struggling with weed because it helps me slow everything down i feel like always on the rush am more a gta type of guy but sekiro has been installed on my pc since 1 month i really have to put some time into it
My first souls game as well. Never raged quit any game until I played. Their were times I contemplated my life choices especially after a 5 hour bout with the Owl until I finally beat him
@@MeggaMann_theBlueLion Owl is a brutal fight. i love how he uses your own tricks and some he never taught you like the anti healing smoke bomb... but yea that fight took me a while as well.
well, perfection as in actual perfection is obviously impossible. However, it is perfect in the way that the game has no real flaw when you think about it Sekiro, despite being one of the hardest games ive ever played, never had a "damn this is unfair" moment, and always forced me to get better at it to overcome its challenges.
This is kinda how I felt also...As long as you learned to time your deflects and jumps then the whole game felt extremely fair...Especially if you use all the tools and consumables that they give you!
This game is so perfect that I have Completed it 14 times and this number will just continue to increase until I die as I started playing the game last year with 4 playthroughs and have never deleted it ever science, whenever I need to See some cool anime Like fights i play it and chill, Whenever I get bored in other new games it cheers me up, I have Played many Mods and one of the Best is the elden arts+weapon wheel mod I swear it's damn good, I wish we get a sequel to it on future😢
Honestly, despite having one of the lower playtimes of all games I've played, its prolly my 2nd favourite or favourite of all time. I have like 20-25 hours in the game. 15 hours in playthrough 1 upto NG+2. Then 5 hours for a Charmless Demon Bell run. Then remaining time just having fun with the bosses. The boss refight is so damn fun. I absolutely love it.
I have recently started playing sekiro. I have just killed Gyoubu. So far I can say that the game doesn't get enough attention by gamers. It's my first souls game but it has made me a fan of the genre
I think what makes Sekiro a true masterpiece is the fact that the game is a blank canvas you can paint on. The game is art which makes it very re-playable in the search of perfection, and offers so much mods because its the perfect game to mod on.
I kinda had the opposite experience. I feel like the ways to victory in this game are extremely rigid, and the vast majority of fights are only really accomplished in one way, with the only variation really being how well you execute the strategy.
@@Mississippi_Jack you just have to play more. Master the fundementals by playing the way the game forces you to, then start adding your own style. I have weapon weel mod as well so I can use many combat arts in a fight.
Literally every single aspect of Sekiro is 10/10. I can't believe how well From executed everything, considering this was supposed to be a small side project.
The way you talk about fromsoft games makes me remember why I love fromsoft games. Were past up on a year since I subbed, glad I found you when you still only had the mirage videos lol
I absolutely love this video because, sekiro was my first "from software" game, it was hell learning the ropes but once I defeated genichiro damn the game from that point felt like heaven, hard yes but in a really good way, I loved so much I did 3 playthroughs got 3/4 endings defeated all the inner variants of the bosses still love it after 5 years.
Y E S “Linear” with all the “fat removed”. DS3 and Sekiro stand in a corner. And DS2 and Elden Ring stand in the opposite corner. The first corner is a game that make me think of bosses and knowing I’ll kill them soon after starting a new game. Geni-owl-Isshin. Abyss Watcher-Nameless-SoC-Friede-Gael. A journey that feeds you 10/10 from beginning to end. Then comes DS2/Elden. The games are big so either you speedrun to win in 1 sitting or you will need a few days to finish (considering you’re a normal human that will stop at 4 hours). And ER and DS2 will take a long time to feed you 10/10. Maliketh and the final gauntlet only happen at the last hour. DS2 is beautiful on its secret. Which is to say DS2 and Elden is a corner where the fun is the brain rot you get from deviating and exploring something new instead of repeating the journey.
No it isn't, but it doesn't need to be. It's soooo much bloody fun to play and mess about with. Once we (sorry to sound cliche) Git-Gud with the mechanics it fuffills every fantasy samurai OP dream we had as children. You fight these utterly monstrous and imposing enemies with pure finesse and a confidence that is so damn cathartic.
Yes, it's my favorite souls game since i couldn't get into elden Ring, but to me, sekiro is a masterpiece, and i even got all achievements. This game is so good and owl is amazing!!!
For me the perfect FromSoftware game would be to either combine Bloodborne and Sekiro with weapon-tools that function for combat, exploration and puzzle solving. So you get the trick and prosthetic features. Ideally something like 5-7 tools that each have their own features and purposes, and maybe include the ability to alter these tools to allow you to leverage different playstyles with the same set up as everyone else. Either that or a straight up Avatar rip off: heavy martial arts, chi blocking, elemental bending that actually changes the environment, and the ability to be just as effective with or without bending.
ISSHIN IS SO SKILLFUL THE LIGHTNING ATTCK HE DOES IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT GENICHIRO AND THE OKINAWA ARE DOING THEY CONTROL THE LIGHTNING BY HAVING THE BLADE HIGH ENOUGH TO LET THE ELECTRICITY CONDUCT TO THE BLADE AND STRIKES WITH IT.. HOWEVER WHAT ISSHIN IS DOING IS THAT HE CATCHES LIGHTNING BOLTS WITH HIS WAR SPEAR AND STRIKES SEKIRO WITH IT. ISSHIN CAN CALCULATE THE SPEED AND TRAJECTORY OF THE LIGHNING FOR HIM TO CATCH IT AND STRIKE WITH IT. And best of all he is just HUMAN WHO WAS BROUGHT BACK IN HIS PRIME
why did you have to say its not close to bloodborn, what does sekiro lack, ugh, always comparing and wanting more, thanks for the rest of the video, it was awesome
Which faked you out the most? Thinking end of first phase guardian ape was end of the fight, or the end of 2nd phase of sister Friede from DS3 was end of fight? I think Friede got me more because of giving me the titanite slab. Because of that I had gotten up from my seat to use the bathroom only to return to a you died screen still having Friede's name as the boss. Getting to fight her again ended up being fine with me since she ended up being such a good boss at least!
The main problem I have with Sekiro is that within the Fromsoft fandom, a community that already has the reputation for being elitist, the Sekiro fans stand out as the most glazing and pretentious. They are completely dismissive of any criticisms people may have and refuse to give any comparisons to other Soulsborne titles a fair shake. Also, anytime someone says a fight is like a work of art or a dance, I cringe a little. This is the farting ape game, after all. Lighten up a bit. Good game though 10/10
Yes it is THE perfect game... Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, developed by FromSoftware and published by Activision, is a critically acclaimed action role-playing game renowned for its challenging combat, intricate level design, and immersive world-building. Set in the Sengoku period of feudal Japan, players take on the role of a shinobi, a skilled ninja warrior, known as "Sekiro." Tasked with protecting a young lord, Sekiro embarks on a perilous journey filled with deadly enemies, ancient secrets, and a relentless pursuit of revenge. A Unique Combat System Sekiro's combat system is a departure from traditional FromSoftware titles. While it still retains the core elements of precise timing and strategic aggression, it introduces new mechanics that emphasize deflection and posture damage. Players must master the art of deflecting enemy attacks, perfectly timing their parries to break their posture and deliver a devastating deathblow. Posture, a new resource, represents the mental and physical fortitude of both the player and their enemies. By depleting an enemy's posture, players can exploit openings and land critical strikes. A World of Intrigue and Mystery The game's world is rich in detail and steeped in Japanese folklore. Players will explore a variety of diverse environments, from the serene Ashina Outskirts to the treacherous depths of the Sunken Valley. Each area is filled with hidden secrets, challenging mini-bosses, and formidable main bosses. The narrative is intricate and unfolds through environmental storytelling, dialogue, and cryptic lore. As Sekiro progresses, he uncovers the dark secrets of the Ashina clan and the mysterious power of the Divine Heir. A Test of Skill and Patience Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is notorious for its difficulty. The game demands precision, patience, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Each encounter is a test of skill and adaptability, forcing players to master the nuances of the combat system. However, the sense of accomplishment upon overcoming a particularly challenging boss is unparalleled. Key Features: Intense Combat: Engage in thrilling, high-stakes battles against a variety of formidable enemies. Unique Prosthetics: Utilize a variety of customizable prosthetic tools to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. Rich World-Building: Explore a beautifully crafted world filled with secrets, lore, and memorable characters. Challenging Bosses: Confront a series of iconic bosses, each with their own unique movesets and tactics. Engaging Story: Unravel a gripping narrative filled with twists, turns, and moral ambiguity. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a masterpiece of game design, offering a truly unforgettable experience for fans of challenging action games. With its innovative combat system, immersive world, and compelling story, it stands as a testament to FromSoftware's commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre.
Um, no. In the sense that nothing is perfect and artistic appreciation is subjective; you can't look at it objectively. Still an amazing game, in my opinion.
I love the game. Hard as f@#€. But played it 3 times. Only do that with perfekt games. 🙂 the only thing i did not like was the trip wired ending. I played 1 time not betraying my father and missed out in a third of the game. Still pretty far to that point so did npt pkay untill 9 mnd later. Used fightingcowboy walktrough. I missed a lot🤔 anyway top 5 games for me. And i am 38 played øike 4000 games. That whould say its perfect in my book!😁👍
I ❤ Sekiro. BUT is NOT a perfect game only because of this reason: Kuro cannot be bleed without the mortal blade yet when wolf was about to die in hirata estate he gave his blood out of thin air.
The biggest problem I have with Sekiro is that within the Fromsoft fandom, which is already notoriously elitist, the Sekiro fans are easily the most glazing and pretentious. They tend to be completely dismissive of any criticisms and are often unwilling to give any comparisons a fair shake, even while talking to other Fromsoft fans. Also, it's pretty cringe to call the fights a dance or a work of art. This is the farting ape game, after all. But yeah, it's a great game, and it won GotY for a reason. Just don't be like one of the people who act like any criticism of the game is a personal attack against them.
No, too much boss reuse imo. Game would be near-perfect either with more miniboss variety, or smaller map for a tighter experience. Still a 9.5/10, but no game is perfect. I could count the games I’d give 10/10 on one hand.
Sekiro is fantastic but it's the most flawed Fromsoft game (flawed by design not by technical limitations): 1. It definitely has the best Boss Combat gameplay in the series... but the open/outer world gameplay falls apart because it's the mashing together of 2 opposing Combat designs. This makes half the Combat System GOD tier, and the other half half-baked at best 2. Sekiro having a proper protagonist that follows a direct story/plotline doesn't mesh well with Fromsofts esoteric storytelling that they always use for DS, BB & ER. It makes the story extremely choppy at points and messing with its pacing 3. Least interesting world & world design. This is extremely opinion based but I don't know who can make an argument for Sekiro's world design and art style being close to the rest of FS catalog Still an epic game but there are definitely some serious problems
It has incredible combat and bosses/characters but probably the most confusing and forgettable world design. No idea how often I had to google what to do because its so unclear where to progress or trigger certain events or boss fights. I probably missed so much content because this game is so vague and explains literally nothing. Fromsoft Games always have missable content but definetly not to the extent as in Sekiro
Why people care so much about something being perfect? You can find me a perfect game but it still won't measure up to the these fromsoftware games there's something about them that you can't replicate even in a perfect game if that even exists.
A game that doesn’t have a guy explicitly named Patches is NOT a perfect game. It does have a Breaking Bad reference tho, so, I guess you could call it perfect
@@Jedimo the description of fulminated mercury says "this tiny tweak of chemistry" which is the line said by heisenberg when he blows up Tuco's office with fulminated mercury (if you havent watched the show, don't worry, is not that big of a spoiler)
Disclaimer: I haven't watched the video yet. But my take on Sekiro has always been that it was the best first playthrough of any fromsoft game, yes including Elden Ring, but it's re-playability is horrendous compared to every other game due to the lack of build variety.
It's near perfect, the repeated bosses and insane hitboxes of some bosses are just annoying, like guardian ape, all i see is a white huge insanely fast beast throwing his legs and hands all other the place
I agree that the lack of weapon variety hinders replayability. It seems like there isn't really any way to customize or make the game your own. Every single fight kind of plays out the same way for every player due to the lack of customization and difficulty.

The best past of Sekiro is it been under 15gb…. I’ll never uninstall
Amen brother
so fuxking true!! This game is such a masterpiece and it nearly takes up any space as compare to other 3A games.

With its innovative combat system, immersive world, and compelling story, it stands as a testament to FromSoftware's commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre.
99.9% Perfect - we just needed the ability to quickly change the special technique instead of pressing start everytime
Couldnt disagree more when you said that everyone that beats this game has the same amount of skill
Not even close
Bro please fix ur mic quality and clipping u dont need to be shouting when ur mic sensitivity is already max.
I like his videos but it always sounds like he's yelling in them for some strange reason.
Um, no. In the sense that nothing is perfect and artistic appreciation is subjective; you can't look at it objectively. Still an amazing game, in my opinion.
i just think it needs a few more weapons not talking about 400 weapons i mean like just 4 weapons
greatsowrd
katana
twinblade
and something else idk
In my book Sekiro should be played with default language Japanese
I love the game. Hard as f@#€. But played it 3 times. Only do that with perfekt games. 🙂 the only thing i did not like was the trip wired ending. I played 1 time not betraying my father and missed out in a third of the game. Still pretty far to that point so did npt pkay untill 9 mnd later. Used fightingcowboy walktrough. I missed a lot🤔 anyway top 5 games for me. And i am 38 played øike 4000 games. That whould say its perfect in my book!😁👍
I ❤ Sekiro. BUT is NOT a perfect game only because of this reason:
Kuro cannot be bleed without the mortal blade yet when wolf was about to die in hirata estate he gave his blood out of thin air.
The biggest problem I have with Sekiro is that within the Fromsoft fandom, which is already notoriously elitist, the Sekiro fans are easily the most glazing and pretentious. They tend to be completely dismissive of any criticisms and are often unwilling to give any comparisons a fair shake, even while talking to other Fromsoft fans.
Also, it's pretty cringe to call the fights a dance or a work of art. This is the farting ape game, after all.
But yeah, it's a great game, and it won GotY for a reason. Just don't be like one of the people who act like any criticism of the game is a personal attack against them.
IMO Sekiro has the least flaws out of any FromSoftware game
No, too much boss reuse imo. Game would be near-perfect either with more miniboss variety, or smaller map for a tighter experience. Still a 9.5/10, but no game is perfect. I could count the games I’d give 10/10 on one hand.
Nope, Juzo the Drunkard is horrible, you have to clear a million mobs to fight him, and it’s tedious as hell
Sekiro is fantastic but it's the most flawed Fromsoft game (flawed by design not by technical limitations):
1. It definitely has the best Boss Combat gameplay in the series... but the open/outer world gameplay falls apart because it's the mashing together of 2 opposing Combat designs. This makes half the Combat System GOD tier, and the other half half-baked at best
2. Sekiro having a proper protagonist that follows a direct story/plotline doesn't mesh well with Fromsofts esoteric storytelling that they always use for DS, BB & ER. It makes the story extremely choppy at points and messing with its pacing
3. Least interesting world & world design. This is extremely opinion based but I don't know who can make an argument for Sekiro's world design and art style being close to the rest of FS catalog
Still an epic game but there are definitely some serious problems
It has incredible combat and bosses/characters but probably the most confusing and forgettable world design. No idea how often I had to google what to do because its so unclear where to progress or trigger certain events or boss fights. I probably missed so much content because this game is so vague and explains literally nothing. Fromsoft Games always have missable content but definetly not to the extent as in Sekiro
Agree with some point but most flawed?
I feel like that title still goes to ds2
Hell i think elden ring is more flawed than sekiro in many ways
Why people care so much about something being perfect? You can find me a perfect game but it still won't measure up to the these fromsoftware games there's something about them that you can't replicate even in a perfect game if that even exists.
No. If it was every boss and encounter and level and everything would be a 10/10. No game is close to perfect.
Guardian Ape is the biggest piece of bs in the gaming industry. but other than that, then yes, the game is perfect
A game that doesn’t have a guy explicitly named Patches is NOT a perfect game. It does have a Breaking Bad reference tho, so, I guess you could call it perfect
Yes, those are my only two criteria on judging a game or piece of media
What reference?
@@Jedimo the description of fulminated mercury says "this tiny tweak of chemistry" which is the line said by heisenberg when he blows up Tuco's office with fulminated mercury (if you havent watched the show, don't worry, is not that big of a spoiler)
Patches makes every soulslike an automatic -2 rating.
Disclaimer: I haven't watched the video yet.
But my take on Sekiro has always been that it was the best first playthrough of any fromsoft game, yes including Elden Ring, but it's re-playability is horrendous compared to every other game due to the lack of build variety.
Watch the video "breaking the mold: sekiro is combat freedom" by loopine
Not perfect but close.
Not perfect because it doesn't have DLC 😢
Probably the least flawed from game but still flawed
No
No. It isn't. Any game where miyazaki is control is bound to be jank
It's near perfect, the repeated bosses and insane hitboxes of some bosses are just annoying, like guardian ape, all i see is a white huge insanely fast beast throwing his legs and hands all other the place
No
Who the in the hell plays Sekiro in English?
It is not
It's a masterpiece but not perfect. Lack of replayability in the form of only one main weapon hinders it.
Disagree because the gameplay is so good you would want to replay it
@@jetgaming5269 The implementation of the boss rush mode is good enough for me tbh.
So replayable.
I could definitely see people getting the parrying down and wanting to kill bosses faster or speed run the game
I agree that the lack of weapon variety hinders replayability. It seems like there isn't really any way to customize or make the game your own. Every single fight kind of plays out the same way for every player due to the lack of customization and difficulty.
