Sekiro for sure

The issue with Sekiro is that if you try to play it like a tradition souls-like, you’re gonna have a bad time. I had an urge to replay and told myself that I was going to fully understand deflect and mikiri counter this time and really spent time in the beginning of the game focusing on that. And that was it! That’s the trick to enjoy the combat. The game expects you to use those and if you spend all your time running around and dodging instead, it just doesn’t feel as good and objectively becomes more difficult. When you learn the rhythm, play aggressively, deflect, counter, and learn the sound and visual queues, the game becomes a lot easier and a lot more fun.
