I bought this game back in January when it had its winter sale on xbox. I grew up on COD and other similar games, so this was only my second souls game, right after Elden Ring. To say it was hard and frustrating on my first play through would be putting it to lightly. I struggled so hard that it took me until the end of June to finish my first play through(I also deleted the game for about 2 months after dying to that shit throwing ape for the 80th time). But after hours of grueling practice and hundreds of deaths later, I feel like I’ve truly mastered this game, and nothing has made me feel more accomplished with this game than getting that final achievement(all skills unlocked). I know this game was somewhat of a side project for Miyazaki, but I wish he would take the time to make another. Elden Ring was fun but the play style of Sekiro is something I have not found an equal to as of yet. 11/10 game and I will be playing many more playthroughs to come.
