Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (2019 Video Game)
5/10
It is ok. Nothing more, plenty less.

I got Sekiro two months ago and I've been trying to play it. I have made it to the horse guy with the huge guandao. I have not finished the game as of now and I actually don't want to. I felt like from the very beginning that the game went over the moon with difficulty. Now I've played all the souls games and I am pretty solid on parry times. I just can't make it through this game. I would estimate 300 deaths plus from the first boss to this horse guy. I found every boss to be a challenge far beyond my skill level. Over time I got tired of dying. Now I've always had a drive about me to learn and fo better everytime I die. However, there comes a point where seeing the dying screen gets frustrating. What I wish they would have done is the standard four types of difficulty (beginner, standard, master, expert/grandmaster). That would have given the chance to master bosses and there move set. For me at least, it is extremely hard to master a bosses attacks when they can basically two shot you (and some just devestate your health bar with one attack, cough cough stupid ogre). Ill end this here woth this closing remarks: this game is fun for those who can endure the rigorous mechanics of it. For others, it is just not worth the time and frustration.
