    The first 15 minutes of this game I was like "This ain't bad at all! Quite a bit easier than Bloodborne." 15 minute later the world was infested with the Dragonrot of dozens of deaths and the game was the bane of my existence. Highly recommended.

I'm of the mind that a game should be beaten before its reviewed, but there are some games that are so awful a small sample is enough to justifiably trash them.

    I got it on day one and it is fantastic. One interesting thing to me is how divisive this game is. There are a huuuge amount of “I am a pro souls player with 600 hours put in and this game is garbage, it’s not cause I’m dying a lot - the game is just bad” posts. I think it boils down to saltiness that the game isn’t Dark Souls 4 and they have too rigid expectations that the game would be something it isn’t. That is what makes this such a great game though - it is different. It is incredibly unforgiving and it feels very different than a Souls game. Anyway, great video here as always and thanks.

    Game kind of reminds me of a few different games. What a modern Tenchu could be similar too. Lil bit of MGS3 stealth/positioning. The high octane, intensity of metal gear rising and except more reactive and skill based from less OTT animations plus latter being hack and a slash.
    I think me dying more than I expected despite playing souls games for near 15 years. 4:01 in vid really hit home when that clicked when I’d played. For example, what the hell am I doing playing this way. This isn’t a standard Soulsbourne. With the fresh mechanics I got the sense they wanted you to use all that freedom you had available.
    Thanks for the review btw. You’re the goat for game reviews on TH-cam these past lock of years! Keep it going!!

    I couldn't decide wether to buy it or not. I checked Metacritic and those 8.0, 8.2 and 8.3 i saw from users scared me a lot. The score from professional webs was about 93 and it decreased to 8.9. Most of the users complaints aside from frames and animations like giant's grabs were the "lack of customization, pvp/coop and rpg elements" that would make it replayable. But there were msny others who basically critized it just because it isn't a Soulsborne game despite those mechanics and details all Fromsoft games share. It looks like some folks expected more from Souls and couldn't handle changes even though it was clear from the begining this wasn't too similar.
    Thanks m8! Yoy are definitely the reviewer or one of the reviewers i trust the most. It's totally clear you finish games and you aren't scared of saying what the game does wrong. Many of tge reviewers don't mention defects or soften them and give higher notes so they keep sending them games. You are from what i can see free and honest.

    This is an amazing game overall; but the progression system is kind of holding down the experience for me. There are a LOT of bosses around, I feel like I spend more time fighting with bosses than normal enemies. While some bosses really offer interesting fights, I'd say the most are pretty generic. Now the problem is that the only way to improve your character's attributes is behind killing bosses, so you can't really ignore them either. This turns the whole experience more about farming bosses than exploration.

    This game allows to make use of combos and special attacks, combining your grappling hook and your prostheric weapons.
    Blocking not only allows to interrutp your own attacks (saving you from enemy countering), but also restoring your posture faster (unlike DS3).
    Rolling and dogging is not as important. The key is parrying, blocking and jumping (you no longer need a ledge to lunge attacks). And you have more options to counter, via your own skills and timing.
    No, Sekiro is not the same as Dark Soul's games and thats someting good. It puts veterans of the series and new members to the same level.

And so instead of pressing the x button quickly by the ledge (And failing miserably) I now hold the x button as i'm about to touch the ledge and I don't seem to be failing anymore. Give it a try and see if that works for you. I've only grabbed on to a couple of ledges since I found that out so I don't know if I just got lucky or if this is how this particular mechanic works

    Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is suppose to the most difficult game that FROMSOFTWARE has developed so far and based on the numerous gameplay videos that I've seen so far, I believe it. Sekiro can't take more than a few hits without dying. Of course, that can be alleviated by finding Prayer Beads, which can increase his health. However, they are rare and only mini bosses drop them. Animations for both Sekiro and the enemies are very smooth, which is very important in a game such as this. Combat is very challenging and enjoyable. I like the fact that stealth is a viable option, especially in areas that are crowded with enemies. Graphically, the game looks great for the most part. I also like the game's level design. I've always been intrigued by the Feudal Japan era and Sekiro gives off the vibe and aesthetic quite nicely. The game is a must buy, despite a few issues. I definitely need to pick the game up once the opportunity presents itself. Thanks Karak once again for another stellar review. I really appreciate the hard work as always. Keep it up!
