It’s FromSoftware at its most confident, at its most unapologetic. It’s Bloodborne but faster, with fewer crutches yet somehow more fair. It’s also one of the best games released so far in what’s already looking like a strong 2019.


quote:

I’m now several hours in, and I cannot stop thinking about it now that I’ve torn myself away for a moment.


quote:

Sekiro refines the Dark Souls gameplay, adding stealth mechanics and a perfect combat system based on evading and parring attacks. The japanese setting, art style and open map design complete an amazing game, which, again, can be too difficult for some players. Review in process.


quote:

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice continues FromSoftware’s dominance, showcasing that it’s on another level when it comes creating action games in fantastical worlds. You’re going to die, and you’re go die a lot. But these brilliant gameplay systems that come together to form experiences that we don’t see in other triple-A games is why people get excited for what Hidetaka Miyazaki is doing at FromSoftware.


quote:

Mechanically, it’s simply one of the best, most playable and most rewarding video games to be released this, or any other generation. The level at which From Software is operating in crafting Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is absolutely mind-boggling.


quote:

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an intelligent reinvention of the tried and true SoulsBorne formula. It successfully manages to strike a delectable balance between difficult and enjoyable, without the frustrating moments players might’ve experienced in Dark Souls or Bloodborne. Owing to its fast-paced combat that rewards an aggressive approach, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is both fulfilling and satisfying and easily the best of FromSoftware’s games yet.

So no rolling. That is interesting.

I like the vertical gameplay.

Good. That means they would naturally make the character slower to compensate. The main character moves insanely fast and that’s all I really need. He can parry, divert and flat out dodge/jump. This isn’t N64 Zelda. Lol.

Has anyone ever played a Souls game on PC?

Do they control well with mouse and keyboard or is a controller the way to go?

Each their own.

Just rather play games like this with a controller. I use an Xbox controller like a pro PC gamer.
