Of course you can play Sekiro with keyboard and mouse. I have spent over 3,000 hrs in Sekiro with keyboard and mouse. I myself cannot survive using controllers. I bought a PS4 some years ago because of Last of Us remastered came out. Although I finished the game, I had to give up going for the achievements. I just couldn't shoot with controller. Yes, some will say that I have to "git gud". But no can do. Just couldn't master it.
As for Sekiro, if you are not left handed then you should be ok. Apparently, the mapping seems not to be left-hand friendly according to one of my friend on Steam. The other minor point is that using a controller, apparently one can really do some fancy dodging whereas because the keyboard can only offer a multiple of 45 degree, the dodging directions are pretty limited. Otherwise, keyboard and mouse are pretty good. Oh, one more thing, due to the nature of the mechanics of the game, it is better to use wired connection or Sekiro will suffer frustrating death due to the lag of bluetooth connection. Or if you don't mind the heavy usage of battery, use 2.5 Ghz connection instead of bluetooth. I use a wireless mouse using the 2.5 Ghz connection and not bluetooth. I have suffered no lag. However, I do have to stock extra packs of AAA batteries. Hope this help. Good luck and have fun.

I have beaten the game several times with mouse & keyboard so it's fully possible!

[MubaChad]

nothing is impossible

[Phantom Samurai]

Yes, and it's so fun.

Sekiro plays like a charm on m+kb.

I even played Ds1, DS2, Ds3, Nioh 1 and 2 and more with m+kb. No big deal. You just need to fine a good setup thats suits you well. You dont really need prompts either. Its neat to have them but i dont mind if older games just dont support this and you only see gamepad icons.

Only game i ever was unable to play with m+kb, when i tried was Surge 2. The directional parry, which is a cool mechanic is almost impossile to do with m+kb.

Other games i just played with gamepad because they were more casual. Like some assassins creed games, the mordor games and stuff like that. Shadow of mordor also felt quit elaborate to set up for m+kb. So i didnt bother.

Play in whatever way feels good for you. But yes. Souls games usually play great with m+kb. Dont listen to the gamepad mafia.

It's fully playable with mouse and keyboard. Quite well, too.

I finished entire game on kb+m multiple times, just had to change some keybinds.

I played both, liked GOW, but loved Sekiro. It really depends on you. Watch some gameplay

I had an old controller which died 30 mins into playing Sekiro so the rest of the 70 hours were on mouse and keyboard.

It players very well easier to use than Dark souls remaster.

Any advice for key re-binding?

The problem with keyboard, is that you can only move your character in four directions. (Up, down, left and right)

If you use controller, there is virtually an unlimited number of directions you can move Wolf, via the left analog stick. (To be more specific, you could say 360 different positions)

This has massive ramifications for things like Blocking/Parrying, where positioning yourself relative to the Boss, is a key determinant of success.

I've used both extensively and struggled with KBM for this game. I switched over to controller and never looked back.
