I finished Sekiro!

General
Welcome to INCtastics Journal Finally finished #SEKIRO after 48 hours of playtime. It was one HELL of ride and I don't even know where to start.
The difficulty is ampted up again from DS3 and Bloodborne, which is an incredible feat, but not a very welcome one. If you had problems with parrying in Dark Souls and riposting in Bloodborne, this game will destroy you and force you to learn it. I was never big with parrying in Dark Souls, riposting in Bloodborne was incredibly important, so yes I knew that, but the feeling of Sekiro was different as well. The game rewards you for a fast playstyle and being very VERY aggressive.
The stealth is great and super rewarding, especially when you need to grind one of the plenty things you need.
And the prostethic arm is also incredibly versatile. The grappling hook is super much fun to use and supports the shinobi playstyle tremendously!
The story is also much easier to understand than any Dark Souls and also Bloodborne before. You get it without watching any videos and you get to read the descriptions of every item upon pick-up, they are short and all tell you something important for the lore/story.
Voice acting and character interaction was also incredibly good, since you play an established character, the interactions are also much more natural.
The difficulty, especially the boss fights, are insane though. Bosses and mini-bosses will kick your ass up and down the whole way of the game. After you overcome the first, there is another one waiting for you one area over. And some of the later ones are even bullshit. The important thing here though is, you are a shinobi. Fight as dirty and cheap as you want. Stealth, hit and run, poison, dirty tactics, cheesing, use everything to get the job done, because that's in the nature of the role you are playing as.
I'm glad that they cut coop and PVP in favor of focusing on story and on your gameplay, and you can pause the game to manage your inventory. HUGE - FUCKING - PLUS!
As a final remark though, the final boss, while super rewarding to beat (havn't felt this good since beating Orphan of Kos) is a frustrating piece of shit and the arena you fight him in is cancer that obstructs your vision.
Final verdict: Sekiro is a great addition to the souls-franchise and I enjoyed it alot, and I raged propably even more. But that's what the game is about, fighting tough fights and improving yourself and overcoming them and I am glad I did! 10/10, would definatly Sudoku again
Remark: However, I do NOT recommand making Sekiro your first game in the fromsoft-game series.
If by chance you get the hang of the games, the pacing of the prior titles will be a huge turn-off for you.
Start with Dark Souls and work your way up.
Remark 2: Sekiros japanese voice actor (japanese voice acting is the best in that game if you ask me) is named Daisuke, I find that hilarious xD
Good luck and be careful out there, I wouldn't like to see you go hollow!
But I love the game a lot x3
Yeah it just deserves the love x3
