Here's a hot take about Sekiro (lemmy.world)

I don't think the game is all that good or fun(personally).

I'm a pretty seasoned SoulsBorne player playing all of the games aside from Elden Ring. I've only had trouble on two of the bosses so far. But my big issue is I'm just not having a good time like with the other games and I'm almost done with it.

I know the combat is much faster paced which I appreciate but its also very dull. Its the same Dark Souls combat with most of the creativity removed and a looooot of parrying. And the parrying isn't even rewarding, it makes it like a rhythm game.

Problem with it being a rhythm game though is that I expect to know when I need to parry but the timings are all over the place. I also just don't think the enemies are all that different to fight, most of them are the exact same in this game just different timings or tells.

I mean I see the reviews, everyone loves this game and I loved all the other games but is it just the fast paced combat and grappling hook that helps it? Having a visible story is nice so far too I suppose.

I'm just curious if other people do or don't like it and why or why not.

I definitely enjoyed the game. It is also one of the only games I ever hunted and got all the achievements for.. that said, there is a darker side to this story. This particular game helped me ruin two different controllers by wearing out the parry button. And also, alongside the game Hades, it truly wrecked my thumbs and hands (arthritis). I can barely game with controllers anymore at all.

Sorry to hear that but I can definitely understand why that would happen lol. That button is getting a lot of action.

Have you figured out any way to mitigate the arthritis issue? I know there are accessibility controllers out there to help with that. Would hate to hear that it causes you to play games less if that’s the case.
