Astonishing! The perspective and composition gave me chills, man.
Won't stop listening to the soundtrack, for sure.

PLEN PLEN PLEN PLEN EU TO USANDO O MIKIRI PORRA

That non-linear and vast narrative that ties you to it and knows what you're thinking—it's beautiful.
Even with so much information to discover at the mercy of space-time, everything intrigues you and has its value. The unpredictable beauty is magnificent, rich in its story and message.

Es una obra maestra se mire por donde se mire, su sistema de combate deberia estar en un museo, ningún tipo de sentido.

I have no words. I previously scored this a 4.5*, I knew it was fucking great. I mean, I had already played this after all, but nothing could've prepared me for how insanely good my 2nd playthrough was gonna be.

The second playthrough of this is... quite something, so let me tell you why I found my second playthrough so great and why the first one is absolutely pivotal to the success of consequent ones. I don't think ANY game has ever made me feel like I'm utter dogshit at something like this game on a first playthrough, I'm not exaggerating a single bit. On a second playthrough though? Holy fuck. There's nothing quite like the feeling of destroying every boss in the game in less than a quarter of the time it took you the first time. The first playthrough forces you to be a master of the combat system so essentially by the time you do another one you're gonna breeze through it, like it's nothing.

It's hands down the best skill based progression I've played, the most rewarding FromSoft game in that regard, hell, the most rewarding game like ever probably too.

I've got to point out the story as well, because well uh, I kind of didn't care about it in my first playthrough. Why? because, as a huge Dark Souls lore enthusiast, I realized they left behind the super cryptic lore for something slightly more traditional with way less focus on the lore aspect. Replaying it, I've come to the realization that while yes, the lore may be less interesting, the story more than makes up for it.

The story has such a feeling to it that I can't quite put my finger on it, it's not exactly sad, I wouldn't say tragic either, I think "Sorrow" would be the right word for it. I found myself way more interested in the characters this time around, for whatever reason. But this time they felt very human, and I really like that. I know that when praising Sekiro, no one is gonna mention the story, so I thought I'd do it myself.

Nothing else to say, it's just such a perfected and well crafted experience. One of those games that in my opinion get as close to perfection as you can get.

Surely an unforgettable experience for a newcomer to this franchise like me. I can't explain the happiness I feel while playing it.
