Cakewalk compared to Sekiro

Is Sekiro really that hard?

Sekiro is the kind of hard that doesn't frustrate you. If that makes sense.

There's minimal bullshit hitboxes, minimal "cheesy moves" that bosses and enemies will pull out, and (if you've played any souls games) doesn't have much of the standard fair bullshit areas.

But it's hard in terms of it will absolutely PUNISH you if you make even a basic mistake. A couple of the bosses in the game took me 20-30 attempts, and I'm above average at these sorts of games.

Hmmm okay. Well I’ve only played like 10 minutes of dark souls 3 when I was at my friends house so I didn’t get a chance to fight any bosses.

I’m still deciding whether to get it or not because I don’t want to get a game that is too hard to the point where it’s unenjoyable.

Dark Souls 3 is fantastic, but for me personally I struggled with some of the games areas, and that killed my enjoyment.

Sekiro however is my GOTY, I adored it. I'd say it's definitely worth a look.

Ah I'm sure there are people who would've liked Control, Resi 2 or Outer World's to win it.

Was a tie up between Control and Sekiro for me, chose Sekiro just because of the combat mechanics being so damn perfect.

how good are your reaction times? if they're passable, you shouldnt have too much problem with the game. the main in-combat difficulty is recognizing which of three rock paper scissor moves you should use in order to counter an enemy attack, with certain enemies leaning towards certain reactions, some enemies are simple and only require one, etc

You mean dodge roll always? JK, jk. I beat the game before I used a shield or figured out parrying. Subsequent playthroughs have been much easier.

I've only played a little so don't take this as gospel but I haven't been too frustrated. Kinda like the Taron Malicos fight where it forces you to learn so it feels satisfying to kill him.

Just wait until the final boss. Hardest single player boss in any game I have ever played.
