Sekiro is a horrible amalgamation of 2 games at odds with themselves.
One is a very good action dueling game where 1v1 duels are incredibly fun and satisfying to pull off.
The other is a stealth game where your character has to go around and methodically clear out camps of enemies over the course of several minutes withtout alerting anyone lest you be forced to fight a crowd of 15 enemies.
The problem is that to get to the first game, you have to do the second. Over, and over, and over again, to the point that it becomes a tedious exercise in repetition.
It is not fun or rewarding to systematically clear out 15 enemies in a row, stealthly since you dont wanna lose health, only to get to a boss, die in 20 seconds because youre still learning the pattern, and having to do it all over again.
The alternative is simply bullrushing the crowd of enemies which will quite possibly get you hurt, if its your first time playing, or worse get you killed.
This culminates in a protracted exercise in boredom as you repeat this pointless exercise over and over, just for a chance at fighting the cool and interesting boss. Its frustrating, infuriating and baffling.
This game sucks ass

Boring linear combat with barely any decision making, cookie cutter one dimensional characters that barely get any time to breathe, plot moves at a staggering speed, barely giving time for the player to absorb what is happening, and the platforming is pretty mid. Not a lot of be seen here, regret having played it
Feels like a Persona Spin off that was made with half the budget. The inspiration is very clear, and the game doesnt seem to try to hide it.
It falls under a lot of common anime tropes and the characters are a bit shallow, but the writing on certain scenes was actually pretty decent, this game also has a better excuse for shallow characters than persona considering its 1/10th of the playtime.
Combat is perfectly serviceable with combos, dodges, parries, especial abilities and somewhat okay enemy variety.
The main story is pretty whatever but it does try to incorporate the romance bits of the game into it towards the end, it doesnt quite work but it is a commandable effort nonetheless.
Seeing in the credits that it was made by a handful of people from what seems to be a tiny studio, its quite a commendable effort that the closest point of comparison for me and a few others is Persona.
Its not without issues tho, combat only doesnt get boring because the game is quite short, the main story is, once again, quite whatever for the most part, and character scenes and dialogue can be pretty hit or miss.
Still, i dont regret playing it, its a decent video game at the end of the day, even has some actually funny bits, i expected it to be way way worse than it ended up being.
