Playing it for the first time now. Spent about 12 hours each of the last 3 days, and I literally feel exhausted at the end of each day. It’s the most stressful/rewarding/addictive game I’ve ever played. I feel like they could make a whole series just based on this combat system, or even the same main character. Now that Ive had this level of difficulty I want more games like it. And I just love the culture/theme of Japanese warrior games.

[@mmaaoorr]

really nice video, a tip for sekiro is to forget everything about elden ring, and to just leave the dodge button alone until you get the skill that lets you deflect thrust attacks by dodging into them, just imagine that your only way of protecting yourself is deflecting, even if it looks like there is an attack you can't deflect, as long as the red thing doesn't show up above you can deflect it. so don't be afraid to go for it edit: also use stealth as much as possible, if you encounter multiple enemies just run, because even the simplest enemies can easily kill you

[@The_Big_T46]

[@jordanuecker7744]

This one has a special place in my heart. I’ve never had to dig harder for a final boss fight in my life. And ofc my first playthrough from what I’m told I got the hardest one. Never have I had more satisfaction learning a combat system. When this came out I knew that fromsoft was up to something big. “Oh you can jump”….”oh there is stealth”….”oh it’s more story driven”. Most of these elements I feel were them testing the waters for Elden ring . Even the posture system remained (though posture is nothing new to series). My biggest tip to newer players is to feel enemies out even more than other souls games. My personally style I adopted was using light attacks as baits and waiting to see what the enemies response is. They key isn’t just offense or defense it’s about a flow of both.

[@tileux]

Thats what I love about Sekiro - the clash of swords and then the break while you size up your opponent (other than the bulls, headless, and shichomen warriors)

[@jijr0103]

Sekiro was suppose to be a Tenchu game which had all those elements of stealth and jump. Shame they never revisit Tenchu, it’s such a good game

[@MrTmm97]

Sekiro was my first FromSoft souls game. Bought it on a whim when it released and struggled at first and regretted buying it. However after a few days break I tried again and it quickly grew on me. I struggled on some main bosses for hours. Mainly the first time I beat Generichiro on the castle I had spent hours and took a break from the fight. I went and did literally everything else available at the time including all of Senpou temple and eventually came back. It took a few hours but o eventually beat him and was definitely excited to continue. I played through the remainder of the game doing everything possible. When I hit Sword Saint Isshin I spent an obnoxious amount of time making progress very slowly. However after all the time and effort i spent getting that far I was absolutely determined to finish the game. I spent a few hours a night for like 3-4 nights and eventually beat him and it was by far the most rewarding gaming experience I have ever had. Talk about a rush. I later went back and completed the other endings in NG+. After Sekiro I tried Dark Souls 3 and really struggled to get into it Bd eventually quit really early on. However when Elden Ring released I began playing it the night it released. I played it straight through for like 45 days amounting too around 200 hours doing literally everything the game had to offer. I explored everything and had all endings available and choose Age of Stars. It was one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’m currently playing through Bloodborne for the first time and when I complete it I will give the Dark Souls series a try again. Elden Ring was definitely much closer to Dark Souls than Sekiro was. I remember being overwhelmed coming to Dark Souls 3 coming from Sekiro given all the additions like many different weapons, stats and upgrades… whereas Sekiro was hard a Exploring fun…. It was just so much simpler with its focus on gameplay and upgrades coming from defeating bosses and your prosthetic upgrades and skills which effected gameplay. All that to stay bc Sekiro despite feeling much much much harder than Elden Ring…. It was an epic game on its own merits. But the experience was so different Dark Souls was just too different in comparison to get into it. I’m hoping with Elden Ring under my belt that I will continue to enjoy Bloodborne and finish it and hopefully Dark Souls will grow on me faster than the last time I tried post Sekiro

[@matthewalves3855]

I miss this game so much, but I already got all the endings and a couple of NG+. I really want a sequel.

[@johnmarshall2091]

Weirdly, I finished it a while ago, a couple of times, and although I LOVED it, I suspected it might struggle for replayability because it felt a bit small post game... but then I breezed Wo Long (which is OK but really doesn't scratch Sekiro, IMO) and returned to Sekiro just to compare the combat. My God, what a difference... I've been playing and replaying Sekiro to 100% ever since, just for the pleasure of it. All gauntlets, all endings, etc. Absolutely a masterpiece. A sequel would be pretty damn great.

[@skadi4214]

You know the games hard when that first little boss becomes a completely usual small enemy

[@leofont6026]

In the chained ogre fight, there were times a circle appeared above his head. This means you can grapple on him. Later in the game you can get a grappling hook attack for instances like this in the game

[@bigmemphismook9019]

One of the greatest games ever made for hardcore gamers. Ive just got all four endings and still want to play. It takes a lot of commitment to master and the victories are satisfying every time you earn them because you die a lot without cheesing. Say no to cheese unless it's the Demon of Hatred.

Yeah I did not like this game at all because of how many things you have to be mindful of and how everyone is a 1-2 shot before you die. It's not that hard, but it's super annoying to me. Didn't like the special attacks that you can't tell if it's a sweep or a thrust sometimes, camera doesn't wanna cooperate half of the time. It's just feels shitty to me idk. I like my combat mechanics to be very simple.

[@m-pouya-m]

Sekiro was my first souls game. I was stuck behind blazing bill at one end and lady butterfly at the other for so long that I can't say. But it slowly clicked for and became my favourite game.

A game set within the same world of Sekiro would be nice but I think the story of Wolf/Sekiro should be left as it is. His story is done but another story in the same world (Japan with the supernatural elements) would be nice to see. Also the voice actor for Genichiro Ashina did the Japanese voicing for Ripperdoc in Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Edward Kenway in AC4, and Tiziano in Jojo Golden Wind.

Theres technically 2 snakes, there's literally 2 to 3 variations on a lot of mini bosses. Also relentless attack is actually important, in combination with perfect deflects. The best way to build posture is usually a 2 hit and deflect combo.

[@Kenboy06]

Nah nah nah nah! Run dat back! Listen! That dodge you did near 6:58 was cwazy🔥 I’ve beatin Sekiro like 4 or so times and play it regularly to sharpen my skills and whatnot. I’m not sure I’ve done that, though. I probably have and then some, but seeing you do that is a skill. Especially since timing, rhythm, and skill are crucial in this game! Mad dope, yo! P.S. I watched it again! I don’t know if I’ve ever done that. You like accidentally dodged right, but ducked down with it. I think it did that because you were on this ledge and stepped down off of it when you dodged. It still amazes me at the things that are hidden in this game / the things you can do. 😲

[@LukasBanyi]

Thanks for the Avatar secret tunnel song, made me chuckle

[@bowley4]

For chained ogre, notice sometimes the grapple icon shows on his head. Use that and also just circle around him. A lot of this game can be done completely passive or aggressive. It’s doing both where you make mistakes. Like you can literally just stand there and deflect all attacks except the ones that need a jump or mikiri counter and you’re good.

[@jeremiahmorrow6673]

Someone probably told you this already but you can stealth stab almost every boss and take a life off them. Fun vid, makes me want to run through Sekiro again :)

[@jasonmariani1258]

Ok the rooster from behind cracked me up!!!! Lol

[@irent5053]

I love the general namori miniboss, because it's the first boss in the game to give you two choices, you can choose to run right at him it run down his two health bars, despite being way stronger than you, or you can go around the top, and do a deathblow from above, and get rid of half the fight in one button press. While the game is more difficult than other souls games, thats kind of the point, because you are fighting against samurai, who are just better at fighting head to head like that, but you play as a shinobi, who fights with stealth, and tricks. If you get the drop on them early and sneakily, the game rewards you for it

[@MrZezi]

I, just got sekiro. And, at first I was getting pretty frustrated because of some of the early mini bosses, (a certain ogre) but after a while, after I had gotten used to the mechanics started to feel on PAR with bosses. It felt like a genuine fight between 2 warriors. Now, I am almost finished with the game and can defeat bosses that I used to absolutely despise, and I enjoy it.

[@truthenjoyer4423]

You can parry a lot of stuff, not just physical attacks. Some perilous attack(red warning sign) that you think you should jump/dodge/mikiri counter can be parried. You can parry the bull charge, suicidebomber from the sky, DoH flame shockwave, ape's fart and poop attack, almost all of the undead(headless/shichimen) non physical attacks and a lot more lol.
