"FromSoftware"

2019 · Action-Adventure · PC / Steam

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice features the best combat system FromSoftware has ever built, a razor-sharp deflection mechanic that turns every boss fight into a duel you'll remember long after the credits roll. The lack of character builds, multiplayer, and difficulty options means it won't work for everyone, and replay value drops once you've mastered the system with no new weapons or playstyles to explore. But that singular focus is also what makes it special. FromSoftware bet everything on one sword, one moveset, and one very steep skill curve, and the result is a game that, once it clicks, makes every other action game's combat feel just a little bit slower.
