The editors didn't like
Controls can be a touch stiff and unforgiving at times
Some enemies are supernaturally aware of your stealth movements
The brutal From Software difficulty is starting to wear thin
Steep learning curve
Oppressive difficulty
Convoluted systems
Fantasy samurai setting has been done
Some camera and targeting hitches
Stealth is a touch underbaked
From Software's toughest game yet
Not being able to buy certain consumable items until very late in the game make some mini bosses a pain rather than a challenge
While you can pause during regular gameplay
You can't pause during cutscenes (always a gripe of mine). Playing the game on weaker hardware feels jagged when moving the camera around. It's as if the system can't keep up with everything it's rendering. It
The difficulty in the game is really hard
There's no multiplayer support in the game
Boss fight approachability can feel limited sometimes
Abstract: I get the feeling that FromSoftware's reputation for making masochistically difficult games is going to turn a lot of people away from playing Sekiro. And, in fairness, it can be a difficult game.Discounting Souls-like experiences like Ashen or Darksider...
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is a very hard game, but it's really rewarding and satisfying once you understand the core mechanics. Just make sure to be patient because blindly hacking and slashing won't get you very far!Verdict 9.0/10...
Abstract: This is a game about fighting through a supernaturally tinged recreation of 16th-century Japan as a deathless assassin with a sharp blade and a weaponised prosthetic arm, but there are plenty of moments when the sword is sheathed and the game shows a quie...

Abstract: Time it wrong, of course, and you will be brutally, often fatally stabbed. Such risk/reward-based battling has been part of From Software's games since the days of Demon Souls. Unlike earlier entries, however, the Mikiri Counter is not some obscure abilit...
Abstract: "I see you're no stranger to cruelty," observes a character later on in From Software's predictably astonishing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Hearing that, I couldn't help but reflect on how many games are strangers to their own cruelty, wilfully blind to it...
Boasting the best swordfighting in the business, Sekiro is a game of rare but deserved self-assurance. You'll despair as it breaks you down, but then you'll exult as it builds you up. It's a journey like little else in gaming, and if you're up for the cha...

Sizzling combat that forces you to be aggressive, A branching world full of secrets to find, A clear story mixed with cryptic side quests
Shoddy stealth with AI that's easy to fool
Sekiro has the best swordfights in any video game. It leans too heavily on its mediocre stealth, but its satisfying combat will keep you going through hundreds of brutal deaths...
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an extremely well designed, atmospheric and beautiful game. It's got possibly the best action-combat system of any RPG ever released and the story, coupled with the incredible world-building, always makes you want to see aroun...

Deep, challenging combat system, A welcome twist on the Soulsborne games, Heart-pumping boss battles, Intricately designed game world
The camera can be tougher than any boss
I don't think this is a game for everyone. Light on hand-holding and big on heavily punishing players for the slightest mistake, Sekiro is a major test of reactions, skill and patience. The pay-off is that you'll feel like a true katana master when you d...
