I haven’t played Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice but I have seen lots of gameplay footage and lore videos and even though I might have been spoiled (Not completely) I love the bits it gives, the game mechanics, and the philosophical lines it gives you. one of the most interesting boss lines in the game was Sword Saint Isshin, he says “Hesitation is defeat”. It’s stuck with me for quite a while and am planning to make a school project about it.The line is one of the best and I think I should apply more often since I fear doing things at times. I hesitate on taking risks and it happened when I took an College entrance exam which is what my father wanted me to get in since he got in before. But I left some blanks since the test was right minus wrong and blank answers aren’t penalized. I had limited time and that thought made me overthink and worry. After the test I felt like I failed my parents. I had the highest doubts and lowest hopes of ever passing that test. I was wrong for underestimating the test. I was reckless to think so and now I pay the price and now I hope I could pass the other tests I could apply next and be prepared.This isn’t gameplay related content or anything but videogames is more than just the game. It could also reflect many things and soulsgames quite embody life cause life is difficult but we power though it anyway.Thanks for reading and understanding. I hope I get to afford and play this masterpiece in the future.
