What players say
The Most Legendary Game I May Never Finish Sekiro is probably the hardest game I have ever played. I have tried getting into it several times and still never made it particularly far because even some of the earlier bosses completely destroy me.

peak game. I wish I could erase all my memories just to experience this gameplay for the first time once more
Every fight is a throw hands simulator and it was peak! Probably the only game the more I played I never really needed to pay attention to my health bar cause only the parry bar matters. Who cares if I have 1 hp as long as I hit this deflect. 10/10 - IT LIVED UP TO THE HYPE.
