The game also has a rather compelling story that grabs you from the start and definitely helps to incentivize your completion of the game. Sekiro eases you into the game with the standard first-mission tutorial that shows you the ropes for combat, movement, sneaking and eavesdropping, and general gameplay rules, but the onboarding process for this game goes on for hours, and you will find yourself constantly learning new things hours into the adventure. When you eventually recover from your ill-fated encounter you are armed with a prosthetic device, a sword, and an insatiable urge for retribution. Unlike the brutal boss fights to come this one is scripted to end quickly when your opponent not only takes the child but also your hand. In Sekiro you become the Wolf, a loyal shinobi bodyguard to a young boy, a royal descendent of an ancient bloodline who is promptly kidnapped from your custody in one of the game’s first boss fights.
Fifty hours and countless deaths later I just might be ready to talk about my time feudal Japan. But all of the pre-release hype for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice kept telling me that this game was “different”, so I decided to take my first shot at reviewing one of these “Soulsborne” games. History has proven time and time again that Dark Souls and Bloodborne games just aren’t for me – although that seldom stops me from trying them out. Typically, when a FromSoftware title shows up for review I delegate the assignment to someone with more time, patience, and fortitude than myself.
