Jumping back in to try to shoot for the platinum. Problem is, I made it a decent way into my NG+ run before I stopped. It's been almost 3 years, and man am I bad! Gotta relearn dem parries!

Just defeated Genchiro Ashina and this is what a boss fight should be like. Challenging, intense but fair and precise. Empowering, engaging combat which rewards skill. And the
Elden Ring was truly amazing, but this boss fight was way better for me than any of the boss fights in ER.
Would love to see more of this combat system.

Sekiro wins for Best Final Boss of All Time, none other than Sword Saint Isshin.
Great music, unforgettable arena, four thrilling phases that relentlessly build up drama and push players to dance steps that seem far too fast to follow. Hesitation is defeat, so trust yourself, pull your partner close, and do something impossible.

Well, you don't get anything for it, not even an achievement, but I beat Gauntlet of Strength: Mortal Journey. For those not in the know, this is basically a boss rush of every boss in the game, plus three upgraded versions of existing bosses at the end.

Read moreWell, you don't get anything for it, not even an achievement, but I beat Gauntlet of Strength: Mortal Journey. For those not in the know, this is basically a boss rush of every boss in the game, plus three upgraded versions of existing bosses at the end. I guess it's not a true boss rush because you can rest and recover resources between fights, but it's still quite the test of endurance, and I'm proud to have gotten through it. I'm not usually big on expert-level play in games, but something about Sekiro really grabbed me. Excuse me for being corny, but FromSoftware's games have taught me a lot about perseverance.

Playing Sekiro again... saw the Elden Ring trailer and remembered that Sekiro got the Gauntlets of Strength update I never checked out. I'm not usually big on boss rushes, but honestly I'm glad for any excuse to come back to what was maybe the best part of this incredible game.

I think this game just isn't for me. It's too much of a departure from other fromsoft games. That's fine, but I'm just not meshing with it. I actually like facing enemies, but bosses are just not it for me. It's weird considering how much I love bosses the most in every other fromsoft game.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
This game reminds me of Tenchu but is about a million times harder. The only issue here is that the game is relatively short, I needed more of it.

This game is one of highs and lows. When combat clicks, its absolutely wonderful, and some of the boss battles in particular are just wonderful. Exhilirating, tense, tough, beautifully presented and memorably executed as part of the overall narrative. But at its low points, this game is incredibly frustrating to the point where playing it can feel masochistic. This one …
This game is one of highs and lows. When combat clicks, its absolutely wonderful, and some of the boss battles in particular are just wonderful. Exhilirating, tense, tough, beautifully presented and memorably executed as part of the overall narrative. But at its low points, this game is incredibly frustrating to the point where playing it can feel masochistic. This one might depend on how well you click with the game of course.
For me it's sort of a 'game of two halves', where I struggled to truly grasp the combat up until I reached Genichiro Ashina. Fighting him again and again and again, I slowly began to grasp how the combat system worked, unlearning the habits I picked up in Bloodborne. Beating him took so long, and was so exhausting, that I questioned whether I wanted to continue.
But encouragement that the skills I learned would transfer to the rest of the game proved true. Everything after was a much more memorable and wonderful experience, one where I felt a match to the game's challenges, rather than feeling like the game was trying to punish me. It's absolutely worth pushing through the tough experiences to get to the good, but not having the patience for it is totally understandable. I'm kind of amazed I did, but I'm also really glad that I did.

Fuck the final boss. He's the only boss in the game that I have been stuck on for days. Also loving this game.

When I first started it did not make sense at all and the mechanics were not well explained. After playing for a while and picking up the mechanics, I loved this game. By NG+ and beyond most things were not a challenge due to the skills the player developed.
Really loved this one, classic Fromsoft game!

Hesitation Is Defeat
I loved the combat, the setting and the storyline but I feel it was short overall. I felt it was a level below Bloodborne but still a fantastic game.
I hope for DLC or a sequel in the future.

Just realised my "Sekiro review" on Steam is right at the very top of the ladder. This is what everyone sees when they're considering whether to buy Sekiro. 😂
