Game has no replayability
Fine, you like the game. You think its different enough from the soulsborne series to warrant a seat at the throne. You enjoy the combat and you hope to get "get gud" at it and for all of the other soulsborne fans to get gud as well even without the crutches of stats, builds and summoning help.

Okay, let's give you all that. But what about replayability? I see absolutely none here. Sure, you could put different implements in your prosthetic arms, but these are merely crutches that assist you in taking out foes with particular weaknesses and they don't work on their own.

Compare that to the soulsborne series where people can replay the games endlessly trying our different tactics and strategies.

You can consider Sekiro the best of From games, you can consider it a welcome departure from the Souslborne games. But you can't possibly expect the game to have any legs beyond a single playthrough.

You can replay it after beating it just for a comparison of how much better you are.

There’s a NG+ thing I heard, so you can play from the start with all your stuff again.

You can do challenge runs, like no death or no healing or whatever.

So there’s at least some replay value, depends on who’s playing

5 endings, 5 playthroughs.

What about it?

It's okay to just play a really good and fun game, finish it, and then move on to something else.

To be fair I never played any of the souls games past the first playthrough so idk

ng+
dragonrot-less runs
game is pretty open after you get to the castle, many different routes to take
different prosthetic+skill builds
gitting gud

sure you won't be running through the game 30 times for a different weapon but frankly after doing that in every soulsborne game its lost its value anyways

Whenever I defeated a boss I kept thinking man, I can do better than this. I for one am really looking foward to see how much I improved in subsequent playthroughs.

Also, as much as I enjoyed build variety in the Souls games, creating new builds always felt like a slog to me. You try to rush through mandatory bosses as fast as possible to get your build going. Most of the caster builds weren't even fun until you hit ng+...

Don't get me wrong it would be awesome if there was other weapons you could use or if the prosthetic weapons played more of a role in combat but meh it's taking a good long time for the first playthrough anyway so even if it was only 1 playthrough I'd be happy as most AAA games take 8 hours for the full price take (if you're lucky) I'm on about 30 hours slowly making my way through and still not done yet. Feel I'm closing on the end but still a lot of time and fun and I'll probably give a NG+ a go and look into how to get other endings if they exist which would definitely warrant another playthrough.

I'm just hoping if there is a NG+ they change up enemy placement and add some new move sets to enemies / bosses like in DS2 as that's the only thing that game did right.

I hear that there are other weapons, albeit as prosthetics.

4 endings and numerous potential routes to get to each.

The game seems very well suited for speed runs.

shame you don't like re-playing it, i hope you find something that is worth your time in your opinion :)

You can watch the endings on YT. While you could do the same (for instance) with the DS3 endings, each play through could be vastly different due to the builds. Here, every play through would be identical
