I'd really like to recommend it... but this moment game fails too much to be recommended :(
at the start in October 2019 there was hope that issues gonna be fixed in next season but... it bcomes even worse every season.

Pros:
+ Still great looking graphic, exciting views, good voice acting and sounds.
+ Promising stories and good dialogues
+ Good weapons choice (in theory)
+ Many interesting ideas and some mechanics (mostly in old content)

Cons:
- MANY network errors (drop you drom activity or doesn't let to start/join one)
- bad odious damage and hit registration.
It may count only part of damage dealt or even could count 1(one) point instead of thousands. Not only PvP but PvE modes. AI enemies can stay alive with 0 HP (rare) or heal themselves having no any abilities for that.
- Issued transactions
it's often doesn't count progress (count only part) of your contracts (which is time-limited withal).
- Missions (kind of "instances") is often bugged
triggers that allow to continue doesn't trigger so whole team have to die simultaneously to restart the mission. That may cause to fail rewards (for time-limited missions).
Some areas (like Dreaming City) is bugged as hell.
- Lousy netcode in total (especially affect on PvP).

all above makes you to waste MUCH of time.

- PvP and PvP/PvE (mixed) modes are full of cheaters.
Flying, teleporting, damage immune, shots through walls... Plus issues mentioned above (so you often can't be sure is this guy cheating or it's just game issues)
- Disabled content
Constantly some Exotics (top/unique weapons and armours) becomes bugged and developers disable them. If you made your build on it – sorry, too bad for ya.
Same time they continue to drop even being disabled (I found 4 of them while they was disabled. You can pick it up but can't equip as well)

and the last but not least,
- many, MANY, MANY inane grind.
It's kind of looter-shooter, ofc. BUT grind here is time-limited. Almost everything you have to do in very limited period of time. Actually, being new you have to spend more than 10h per day to the game to keep yourself topical.


Still, it's a good experience to get a free version and to play story line (mostly solo). As it's the only thing that doesn't force you to load 16 tons.
BUT it will lure you to another activities. And going there (or buying Season Pass) you'll find yourself in frustrating Hell soon :) :(

"игра" оставила смешанное ощущение. С одной стороны, "ламповый" интерфейс (кривоватый, местами), хороший олдскульный саундтрек, годные боевые механики, неплохой юмор, ветвистые линейки квестов.
с другой – ДИКИЙ, что принято было называть "корейский" рандом.

нельзя сказать, что от игрока ничего не зависит – некоторая смекалка всё-таки требуется... по крайней мере, по началу.
Но на >95% это рулетка. Вы можете на шару пролететь все сектора и убить босса играя тяп-ляп, а можете перфекционируя в тайминги и микроконтроль – слиться в районе третьего сектора.

Присутствуют так же огрехи дизайна – навроде того, что вы внезапно узнаёте, что "это последний модуль, который можно поставить на этот корабль". Уже поставленные удалить нельзя, а для прохождения вам практически жизненно необходимы два (телепорт и невидимость). (нет, можно из без них... если сильно повезёт. Но, в целом, мета тут ярковыраженна, как по оружию, так и по тактикам – просто используя абардаж вы зарабатываете в ~1.5 раза больше. ⇒ лучше прокачиваете корабль ⇒ имеете больше шансов купить необходимые модули ⇒ получаете меньше повреждений ⇒ побеждаете)

В целом, с модами и покопавшись в потрохах (перенастроив алгоритмы под себя), поприкалываться можно. Но это в большей степени конструктор "сделай сам", чем игра как таковая. (эдакий майнкрафт на минималках ))
С хорошей скидкой и при желании (и умении) копаться в xml и немножко хексах – можно брать. Казуалам-рулетчикам, со склонностью к мазохизму – тоже можно.
Остальные проходят мимо :]

I'll be short ^^:
there is some issues with game physics as well as a few non-perfect mechanics, but it's still the best diablo-style game of this days.
PoE long time ago went to bad way, Diablo 3 is a fatal bull$#it – but this small indie project is just awesome.

First of all, I'm NOT a "souls" series fan and din't played any of them. Also I dropped Bloodborn after ~15 minutes as I found it feels like bad replica of old Nightmare Creatures.
With this being said I has to be sceptic about Sekiro but being fan of "Shinobi" series (Mega Drive) and stylistics, I downloaded free copy to try being seen two small gameplay videos on YT. After playnig ~1.5h I found it's amaizing enough to start search for Collector's Edition (yeah, that was naively). Not finding Collectible I purchased the game in Steam.

This game is really amazing and I can surely say it's at least one of the best games for last 10-15 years. 👍

• Contrary loud screams about "broken hitboxes" I can say that it's not, leastways on PC. Hitboxes isn't as small as in many games, but I never made or got hit outside of humanoid figure (some huge monsters may have fuzzy boxes).

• the game is very atmospherical in everything (yeah, there is a kind of strange "sinobi" concept that's closer to Samurai... but it's only historical and not affect on game integrity).

• it's variable enough (again, contrary to loud voices) and let player to use different tactics to complete the tasks.
Still the game was made with an eye to stealth so I strongly recommend to use this style at least for the first fighthrough


P.S. It's not as hard as many people believe, but it induce you to learn and to play smart with open eyes (as well as mind).
Or to swot timings and movements if you're too clumsy. 䞿 :P

P.P.S. aaand this game goes as my "GOTY" 2019 Steam nomination. :]

Идея игры хорошая, уровни достаточно продуманные (хотя, пройдя половину, создаётся впечатление, что их маловато)
Всё бы было хорошо, если бы не отвратительная реализация управления...
Кошмарные задержки ввода (input delay), сдобренные ещё и переодическими микрофризами (движка!) – до такой степени, что нажимая, допустим, прыжок в одной и той же точке, вы получите сильно разную его длинну.

в итоге, довольно простые уровни, порой, становятся слабо проходимыми, просто из-за непредсказуемости управления – превращая, казалось бы, требующую чётких реакций игру в подобие рулетки.

Если бы не проблемы с управлением, игра была бы на твёрдую 5-ку (минимум 4+); а так... не рекомендую.
