But once I learnt to time my deflects and counters you really do appreciate how amazing the combat is. Never realized it was so annoyingly hard to get through.

If you don't have it , I suggest you give this a wide berth. Or , look at one of the walkthrough vids on YouTube , and make up your own mind . .

The game itself is visually stunning and I found myself sometimes standing and just looking around or just taking it all in while grappling around. Where as from the souls series and Bloodborne I found myself endlessly dodging waiting for that moment to strike, Sekiro I find I can stand toe to toe with all enemies, which can make for some quite epic battles. If you put the time in to learn the combat and mechanics you will absolutely love this game. Persistence is the key to this particular game .

When I started the game I really struggled and thought I would never grasp the combat. I enjoyed it that much I had to go in to ng+ and I ended up enjoying it even more.

Have put it aside after getting constantly stomped by the Chained Ogre , and the chances are that it will never get played again . Additionally it teaches you not to spam block, as spamming can lead to your posture being broken and being sliced down in a few hits.

FromSoftware have done a wonderful job with this game, so much so I actually went and completed all the achievements on xbox. Additionally the bosses visual move sets and look are something to behold too.

Purchased this game having seen a walkthrough of it on YouTube.
