If you're looking for a challenge, then this game will give you that and more on top. Sekiro is undoubtedly more difficult than any of the Dark Souls games and will punish you for every mistake. I've loved the game but my an issue with it is that you can spam deflect with your sword on many enemies, most notably on many enemies with extremely fast attack speeds effectively cancelling every bit of damage they can do to you. I feel that, if the game wasn't so difficult, it would make a lot of sense for FromSoft to add a stamina bar (like in Dark Souls) that would encourage players to jump or dodge attacks rather than deflecting and cheesing enemies. Another issue is that the lack of customisation (cosmetics and weaponry) and PvP reduce the replayability of the game, yes the abilities are great but they don't offer enough that will personally make me replay the game. Every playthrough will be extremely similar except for a few skills and that isn't great.

Nonetheless, it's a great game and a great successor to the Souls series.
