    Best Fromsoftware Title Yet!

    Sekiro is FromSoftwares latest action RPG game and it does not dissapoint! The action and gameplay is the best its ever been. The story is amazing and without any spoilers will make you shed a tear. The game is very diffucult and for new players may feel impossible. But trust me the game is balanced and is fair. You will die mutiple times but thats the fun! Learning from your mistakes and getting better at the game. If you put in the time and dedication to learn and practice the mechanics, you will make it to the end credits with a smirk on your face. One of the best games ever made by the best developers in the field that will leave a lasting impact on you and how you view games and art. 10/10 Pick this up!!!!

    This is a game you love to hate. Graphics are beautiful, controls and gameplay are smooth, and story is intriguing. But like all From games, Sekiro requires a steep learning curve and patience from dying a lot! Eventually you learn enemy attacks and get the timing down, and when you do the combat is fantastic. The bosses are large, beautifully animated, and challenging. Just try not to break your controller when you hurl it across the room!

    Great Japanese samurai/ shinobi story

    Sekiro after playing at least an hour and a half of play. The story is well thought out don't get me wrong the prelude is really tough but rewarding once you get the slight basics of how the game works. The quest begins when your task with protected a young emperor by a old master who trained in the ways of a samurai/ shinobi . The one promised to be protected is captured by a highly skilled samurai who takes your arm in the heat of battle. Then it seem like all is lost until your brought back by this mystical Yoda like Gandalf wise old man who restored you back to forum and builds a special ninja like prostatic arm and how its hard for you to truly die. I recommend this game if you like ninja gudien and classic animes like ronin kinchin and samurai 7 with a afro samurai flavor !!

    Now this is a great game. Slightly reminds me of an up-to-date Tenchu game. Decent art style, smooth gameplay and great controls. Also a great story. But be warned, it’s touch as nails. Be ready to buy extra controllers because of breaking one from a bit of frustration. But I still feel that it’s fair if you die. You just got to get better.

    This game is amazing in so many ways. Its as If Dark souls and Tenchu had a baby. This game would be it. Amazing graphics and controls and unrelentingly difficultly. You know what to expect. Bring your patience.

    Soulsborne games aren't my cup of tea, but the Japanese setting drew me in and got this game. Game is amazing, it is difficult, but if you keep at it and learn how to attack/parry/dodge, the game will reward you. Wide range of enemies, upgrades, tactics and boss fights. They're difficult, so be prepared to be challenged. Very addictive game once it clicks, awesome game! Don't button mash!

    I've only put about 5 hours into the game so far. I have not been disappointed. The game looks beautiful. The gameplay is typical From Software with queued inputs if you mash the buttons. If you've played the Souls series you'll know what to expect. So far I've found no shields, so it's all parry/dodge action. I'm excited for more levels and bosses. I'm sure the difficulty will ramp up like the normal Souls series.

    I already bought this for my ps4 and reviewed it. My nephew was watching me play it and liked it so he asked for a copy for his xbox so I obliged his request for his birthday. I have not finished the game yet but it is an excellent title so far. Make no mistake its a difficult game but practice makes perfect and it plays extremely well. My nephew generally doesn't like dark souls styled games due to the diffuculty but he is enjoying this one quite a bit because of the great gameplay and whole ninja thing.

    I am not an avid 'Souls' series player but was interested in this title for its art and setting. I'm about 25 hours into the gameplay and have loved every (sometimes grueling) one of them. It is not as difficult as the From Soft stamp implies and I would recommend to any fan of something like Ninja Gaiden or Onimusha et al. or just anyone looking for a good game to be pulled into.

    Difficulty is the key

    Sekiro is a beautiful game that seems to flow well. The key is to master the controls. I will warn you that this is one difficult game and will likely make you throw a controller. Boss battles are not for the impatient. The game is great. Is it worth the $59.99, probably not. If you can find it on sale for less than $50, I would say go for it. This game will test your abilities. I do recommend it for a seasoned gamer as it is a challenge. As a beginner, be patient and learn the controls.

    This game is pretty cool but incredibly complicated. This was my first time playing a JRPG, and to be honest, the art is beautiful, the story is well-done, and the combat is satisfying, but it took me a while to learn the extensive controls, and even on easy-mode each level takes about six or seven attempts. However, I'd recommend this because it's pretty fun and a high-quality game.

    This game is unbelievable. From Software really stepped up there game with Sekiro. Imagine all the dark souls games plus Bloodborne X 5. That’s how hard this game is. It’s so frustrating but so rewarding when you finally beat that boss that takes hours to beat!! If you want a game that will keep wanting you to come back for more but Sekiro!!!!

    Amazing game if you like a real challenge and don’t mind dying on the regular. The graphics are spectacular on the TCL tv I also got from Best Buy. Now if they would just get some XBOX Xs in stock I’d be happy.

    If you liked dark souls, you will love this game. It is difficult, but rewards you for figuring out enemy weaknesses. Controls are tight, graphics are amazing, and the area designs are great.
