Overall I enjoy this game. (10/10)

Ignore stuffs under here, with all the mods for QoL nor gameplay change, it's downright the best for me. Also fun to pass time when not having internet connection.


The combat is just satisfying everytime I'm playing this. Some downside thou, fighting hordes in this game is just not really enjoyable. Sure you can disengage in most cases, but in a forced multiple enemies engagement like Headless Ape fight where the area is just an open field without any obstacles to split the apes sometimes it's quite cancerous and luck based, depending on the AI behavior. Stealth and stuffs are a good addition for the gameplay, especially after NG where usually I just skip all of the unecessary encounters. In longer run I find this more as a pushover tbh. Boss fights are the gems for me. Almost every boss fight are fun, while some like the Folding Monkeys fight also becomes a pushover later on. Imho Sekiro has one of the best final boss, Sword Saint Isshin, and it's really fun and satisfying to fight him. In other hand, as you go into more NGs and you have more attack powers the fights just keep ending too soon, which upsets me a little.

Aesthetics are beautiful. I don't know what to say anymore, my favorite location is definitely Senpou Temple (金剛山).

Storywise, at first seems to be shallow. But given time and some digging with couples of thoughts it's definitely going somewhere... Just watch some lores on youtube and read them on reddit.

Just one thing I want from this game... A BOSS RUSH MODE without needing to run all over the places. Hopefully it'll be there in nexus... some day...
