So I thought a thread like the DMC5 one would be good for Sekiro as well. I love the game but I also have a number of complaints.
- Lack of NG+ content. This has been an issue in From games for a while but I wish they had added some unique content to make NG+ more worthwhile. Now it's just to get enough XP to unlock everything and see all the endings or do anything you missed etc.
- Bad economy. After NG there is barely anything worth buying yet minibosses you've defeated drop money bags. I felt in NG+ I had to choose what to buy with the money I had or grind some more but not so in NG+. You have so much sen that you might as well load it into a prosthetic and blast away. It would have been better to have minibosses keep dropping beads but instead require more of them for bracelets or reduce their effectiveness over the ones you can pick up in one playthrough.
- Most combat arts are not useful. They look really cool but apart from
Ichimonji and Mortal Draw
- 20 spirit emblems is not enough. You can't really try things out against a boss and usually it's not enough to help you through more than one phase. I wish you at least got a partial refill after getting a deathblow on a multi stage boss fight. In regular gameplay they are acceptable though you still better not miss much.
-
Reused bosses. At least have better reskins than a different color and maybe add a unique move or two to keep them more interesting. Phantom Corrupted Monk seems out of place and so does the placement of the True one too. You should be facing them at the end of Mt. Senpou based on the difficulty of the boss. Owl (Father) is a tedious fight that lacks all the tricks of the first fight that kept it fresh.
- Bugs! At the time of writing this thread the game still hasn't received a patch on PC to fix the issue with multiple monitors connected dropping framerate severely and there seems to be no reason why you can't run at above 60 fps when I'm happily playing at 120 with a mod and have seen no adverse effects from this.
