How do you play this game?

[Skeletor]

The hardest and most punishing game ever. You are dying so easily and it sends you back to your childhood from elder ages.

Learn on your mistakes while you're playing. That's literally all you need to beat the game.

This game is a true sword fighting game, it takes time to learn like true sword fighting. Slow down, practice, and keep fighting. If you need any more tips and tricks, I highly recommend Caddicarus's video on it

So, we literally become a real ninja while playing this game.

Yes, you also automatically teleport to Japan, get shurikens, katana and a straw hat.

[BassKnight]

if you don't have time to watch, just know that there is always a way around. If you are struggling try different attacks. Maybe you can try to run away and stealth it again. Maybe the firecrackers would help and the shurikins also help a lot in some areas. And the biggest thing is that blocking/parrying isn't the only way. Sometimes the best way to defeat the enemies like the rooftop feather guys (there I saved you 2 hours of struggling) all you have to do is keep hitting them until their posture goes down for a deathblow, only blocking , not parrying, when you know they are about to attack especially that spinning attack.

They should give a black belt with collector's pack of this game.

There is a collector's pack?

[HighLanderPony]

Be aggressive but not reckless. Attack till you're punished for it, then adapt and retry. Learn the difference between blocking and deflecting. Learn how to counter the three types of perilous attacks (red kanji). Use the prosthetic tools. That's the gist of it. Glhf

I find it quite the contrary, it seems the most fun and welcoming of the souls games to me. I attribute that to preferance for combat, parrying was always my fav mechanic in DS and what I most commonly went for, so this style of play suits me much better than turtling behind shields or tanking through, like it was possible in DS.

I will never have the reaction times needed to beat this game. Wish I'd known before spending two hours on the introductory baby levels and losing my right to refund. Seems like a fun game if you have what it takes.

Not rly. To have what it takes you have to play. I'm still dying a ton, but the game is still fun to me.

You can't expect to come into a game and immediatly be good at it. Doesn't matter if you play fighting game, strategy game or anything else, you're not gonna be great from the get-go, not even, when switching from another game in the same genre.

It takes time to become good at EVERYTHING, not only games. Just take it at your pace and have fun.

I get where you're coming from. I played all three Souls games on pc and enjoyed myself immensely. I always felt like I was getting better and my own progression as a player felt rewarding. With Sekiro it has been the complete opposite. I'm not getting any of that satisfaction. I just die over and over and over and then by some fluke manage to kill one more miniboss. It never felt like I'd bested the opponent, I just got lucky with my fumbling. I'm just not having any fun and it's killing me.

[Arkkienkeli]

I can't even do the consecutive deflects tutorial for crying out loud. I just can't nail the timing. I mean I thought I had some kind of rhythm given that I like to think I'm kind of musically inclined and play an instrument, but it's not helping me at all here.

Well pro tip, you can just mash the button for deflect and the way i-frame windows in Sekiro works, you should get them all. I know that's not how it's supposed to be used and it'll give you bad habbit, but hey it works.
Also I think you have a bit of bias, about how you picked up Dark Souls and that's a normal thing. Usually when people become decent at something, they forget how though the actual road to gitting gud was.

It took me awhile to abandon my DS reflexes (trying to roll/dodge out of every attack), but once the deflecting and more aggressive style of combat finally clicked it became extremely gratifying.

agreed, the combat is so damn fun compared to DS.

i stopped Sekiro for a long time cos first Genichiro fight was wayy to hard for me. picked up Jedi Fallen order for dirt cheap. played it on grandmaster and completed the game. i was not satisified enough and i reDL back sekiro. and boom, back to him having forgotten all the abilities, skills and even the controls lol. 1 shot'd with just parry and attack. couldnt believe myself i had so much trouble before.

[Regufyz]

if you learned to parry once, the Game becomes so much easier. And then the Ape shows up
