Wow. What an experience.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing. I even took a month break thinking I might not come back to it, but boy I’m glad I did.

I’m new to souls like, only having played Elden Ring before this (which was amazing). Sekiro was a game that I picked up afterwards, and struggled with early on. It felt like a departure to everything I’d learned in gaming to this point. You don’t want to dodge, you want to deflect. Holding block helps you recover. Parrying will beat a boss quicker than trying to drive down their health. Once these things start to click, defeating bosses feels like a true accomplishment.

Fighting the end game bosses had my heart rate going like no other boss battles I can remember. Elden Ring had some memorable and awe inspiring bosses, but the feeling in Sekiro when you’re about to break the posture of a boss for a final deathblow was indescribable.

If there’s anyone left who hasn’t given Sekiro a go, do yourself a favour. It takes some time for it to click, but when it does, it’s something special.

    We’re quite small in numbers and could use your participation if you’re interested in discussing Sekiro.

    Here’s the link.

            Dude, no worries at all. The communities are rather small still, so we’re bound to run into each other more often than not in communities with similar interests. I can take care of the advertising - not your job. :D
