The way you execute enemies reminds me so much of Tenchu, this area reminds me of it. The walking atop rooftops and so on all reminds me of it and I love it.
Can't wait.
Lack of MP means this is likely gonna be a one-and-done for me, unlike the previous games, but I'm still looking forward to what they do with the setting. Dark Souls & Bloodborne's respective descents from very trope-y settings and enemies to straight-up nightmare fuel are some of my favorite enemy escalations in any game I've played.
There is a playfulness too, in the level and encounter design, that I haven't seen in many other games. Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne both had traps with designs that were similar to traps that appeared in Demon's Souls and the first 2 Dark Souls, but the traps were remixed in ways that seemed specifically made to trip up returning players. It feels like the team at FromSoft is having a dialogue with their players, through the level design, and I find that really cool when I'm playing these games.

The emphasis on verticality and jumping is something I loved in Ashen. Sekiro seems to take that to a whole new level.
I mean...we have no idea if this will have as many bosses as a Souls game. It looks less and less like a Souls games with every new video, and I mean that in the best way possible and as a huge Souls fan.
Somewhere within the ballpark of 25, plus DLC. Newer games have more. Interestingly usually almost half of them are optional.
Miyazaki isn't doing the story, so there may not be any Patches.
Depends on their needs; From has always leaned very heavily into synth. With what we've heard so far, I don't expect that to change.
It's a very competent copy, mind you. But I still think it took too much.
C'mon, now...
Nioh is a great little game (though, unfortunately, the level design is wildly inconsistent and is at times pretty bad). It has a great combat engine which absolutely does its own things... but they took A LOT from the Souls series.
And besides there isn't giant anime tiddy monsters, scantily clad woman, and goofiness.
This is grounded Dark Fantasy, and i've been waiting for something like this set in Japan for ages.
I want Patches to be in as a dutch foreigner with the moonlight greatsword as his weapon.
I love it too!
I remember reading somewhere that originally this game was going to be a Tenchu sequel, but I could be wrong.
If I love this game, I just might ;)
That would be amazing. Even if he doesn't do anything. Just seeing that would be great
Going to likely be a toss up between this and RE2 for me. This year is going to be a strong one in any event.
It probably doesn't technically sound like the way the GI guy pronounced it either. Most have been pronouncing it closer to "Sah-Key-Rho" anyway. The Japanese pronunciation is probably different from both as well.

There is more variety and personality in this level alone than anything in Nioh.
There is a Rooster demon or something I've heard mentioned a few times. I assume it'll be shown later on in the month.
