For those of you who don't know Sabaku, he is considered the "Italian VaatiVidya". He is a very knowledgeble content creator with a deep love for From Software works. Here are some thoughts after he played the Sekiro demo.

there are no automatic interactions, you need to press a button to grab a ledge (good, gives full control to the player)

you can't fall off a edge if you don't press the jump button.

Enemies can't be pushed over the edge. Despite this and the resurrect mechanic...

the game is HARD. The most punishing From Software game he's ever played. But it encourages you to get better and master the combat system.

parry windows are much better than DkS, where you had to anticipate the hit and watch the arm.

swordfight and finishers are incredibly satisfying, and convey Sekiro's "vengeance rage"

he managed to get to the corrupted monk without engaging in combat (only stealth kills).
