Other games like Sekiro

[zaki11]

This thread is more like a review but i am interested in other gamers opinion in this matter.
I find Sekiro combat system is one of the best in the genre. I desperately tried to find a game like this and i listed them in order to the experience of the fights similar to this:

1. Sifu
2. Wo Long
3. Lies of P

My biggest disappointment was Elder Ring because its implemented the Dark Souls "roll like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥" combat system instead of trying to find a balance or an option to play the best combat system ever produced (by them ).

Sifu was the closest to the flow experience. Its perfect like Sekiro but the game itself is quite different (kung-fu beat 'em up, linear levels...etc). Anyway it is my second favorite after Sekiro.

Wo Long has a good fight mechanic almost like Sekiro. The dumb story and the mind blowingly unnecessary complex loot and character management system is not for me.

Lies of P. Sekiro like combat system and Dark Souls-like enemies. Very slow wind up attacks hits in 0.2 seconds from building sized enemies. It was really hard to get used to it and it was sometimes frustrating. Also for an unknown reason you have to parkour in some levels and the game was not designed for that so it was really underwhelming experience from that point of view.

I have not played Ghost of Tsushima but i am on PC so i am excluded from that experience.

I really hope that new games will implement the Sekiro-like combat system because Sekiro 2 isn't gonna happen any time soon.
Do you know any other combat mechanic game like Sekiro (i would be surprised if you do)? Why is the "roll like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥" combat sytem still compete with this one in soluls-like genre? What is your list of games compared to Sekiro from this point of view?

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance is an awesome game. About 8 hours if you blat through it on the first playthrough.

Nier Automata has a similar system to MGR:R. Light Attack, heavy Attack, block/parry.

Both games were developed by Platinum games.

I haven't played Ghost of Tsushima yet, but I will be getting it soon.

Difficulty wise maybe Neir Automata. Although theres no block, parry.

First 1h is so good because of gameplay changes.

[Vitamin defincensy]

Nier Automata is boring and pretentious please stop recommending it to him.

[Frid]

It's actually pretty fun. Especially at the start.

There's also option to watch YouTube and decide what's fun or not. Game got decent amount of positive reviews.

Nioh 2 can be really fun of if you focus on sword mostly, mainly when you face of human enemies. But you wanna be versatile in that game, because there are a lot of differnt enemies. Play Nioh 2 if you havent played any Nioh game. If you can play Nioh 2, there is no reason to play the frist one imo. Also it runs like dogsh*t on new hardware.

Thymesia is actually fun for what it is. Its a short rather cheap game but not bad.

Stellar Balde has some elements that feel like Sekiro but it focus more on loading up you power moves and use them, but the combat is much fun.

GoT is more focus on crowd fight, which is done very well. Some bosses can be pretty cool and fun, but nothing like Sekiro really.

Surge 2 has a fun directional parry system, you might wanna try that on sale. it's not flawless but pretty fun too.

I played the first Jedi game with Cal. It was okay but only very few fights and bosses will give you actual Sekiro vibes.

Nier Aut. is garbage imo. It's boring as hell. I played 10 hours or so and could not force myself to keep going. That's just my 2 cents on that game.

[Frid]

I got mixed feelings myself with Neir Automata. However the first few hours and especially first 1h to 2h are worth to look at . On Hard difficulty it's actually challenging.

It's not a Souls like game, definitely not Sekiro like game , which is what author asked do , but I believe it got a lot more gameplay than "some"
games and deserves attention, because "gameplay" ... changes.
I would obviously recommend Tsushima Hard difficulty and Metal Gear Reveangence over Neir Automata.

I'd recommend trying out Nine Sols, it's like a 2d version of Sekiro

The only games I’ve played that are close are jedi: fallen order, and jedi: survivor. The combat in these is 100% inspired by sekiro and it is definitely awesome having it in star wars.

I would recommend trying more action games like bayonetta, wonderful 101, ninja gaiden 2 and 3 razor's edge.

[Five Pebbles]

There really isn't much unfortunately

I enjoyed Lies of P. Some of the enemy attacks are hard to deflect, not because of the challenge itself, but because they are poorly designed. The attacks are very swift and unpredictable, making the game difficult in an unfair way. I didn't like that aspect. I don't think hard difficulty should be set by such attacks. Regardless, I enjoyed everything else the game has to offer: the story, exploration, combat, music, art style, and the weapon upgrading system.

I feel ya. If I had played Sekiro before Elden Ring + DLC I'd have uninstalled Elden Ring within the first few hours instead of spending about 500 hours in it :D. There is, as ppl here said before, unfortunately nothing that comes even close to Sekiro's combat. Sekiro Combat with Elden Ring amount of content would have been a dream no doubt.

[Tr3m0r]

I really do love sifu as it became quickly one of my favorite games. Ironically despite such a love of Sifu I didn't quite get into Sekiro and Elden Ring ended up becoming maybe my favorite game of all time. I am much more a sifu, sekiro and fighting game type of gamer so I am surprised ER hit so hard for me. I'm returning to sekiro today though as I really need a break from ER and I didn't get too far into Sekiro. I hope I can make it all click this go around.

[Guts]

Theres no game like Sekiro. Play it again, eternally.

1. Thymesia
2. Wo Long
3. Nine Sols (It has the hardest final boss I've ever fought, taking me 3h to defeat her.)
