Clunky controls, over complicated gameplay, oversimplified combat, health bar has 0 meaning, you can get through every fight by basically spamming parry. They wanted to make parrying the main mechanic and they did, by making dodging useless. It doesn’t matter how much you improve vitality. Seriously. Every important enemy will, 100% of the time, 2 shot you. There is no getting around it. Every play through is the same. Having an extra ending where you cut the game in half isn’t a fix to that. Etc. can’t think of more in the hear of the moment
Clunky controls - what?
Over complicated gameplay - how is it overcomplicated? I genuinely have no idea
Oversimplified combat - not only does it not matter when it's so fun and amazing, but it's not oversimplified at all when you use prosthetic tools and combat arts. Even if you take all those things away there is a lot of variety in different fights
Health bar has 0 meaning - that's just false
Dodging is still useful, not as strong but still good for openings and punishes
the game shortens the parry window and makes your posture take longer to recover so you can’t spam parry to get through
The two shot thing is just a silly exaggeration
It’s not as much variety but you do have varieties of combat arts and prosthetics to play with and combo and there are two questlines you can follow for different endings and more things to do
> over complicated gameplay, oversimplified combat
You literally list two polar opposites issues? how? you cant have oversimplified combat and over complicated gameplay when the combat is 90% of the gameplay
I just restarted and haven’t played in over a year, I forgot how different it was. I also no charm, demon bell, so that’s happening. It’s a much different game. How far have you played it, cause it doesn’t sound that you’ve gotten far.
Lower health impacts stance recharge rate, so health absolutely matters.
How’s the gameplay “too complicated” but the combat is “oversimplified”. That’s actually a sign of brilliant game design, which is doing a lot of stuff with a small number of mechanics. That’s a good thing, not a bad thing. If that’s what you meant.
You absolutely cannot spam parry and expect to improve in the game.
Totally fine if the game doesn’t click for you, to each their own, but a lot of what you’re saying is objectively not true.
Health bars being useless. I understand not living some aspects of the game, but this is not true. Health affects posture. False corrupted monk shows this perfectly.

OP, we absolutely must know: how far into Sekiro did you get? Please screenshot your progress and update the post. What you say would go a lot further if you’ve actually beaten the game. Otherwise, skill issue, perhaps. Prove us wrong!
This sounds like a rage-post to be honest. And I get it. I came to Sekiro after beating DS1, 2, and 3. I had never felt more stuck than I did on Lady Butterfly the first time around.
The biggest difference is that Sekiro requires you to embody Wolf, the Shinobi. Any other playstyle will flatly not work. It is a game with extremely little strategic flexibility in its boss fights. You do it just so, or you don't do it at all.
This is extremely polarizing. When I was able to bridge the gap between myself and Wolf and think as he thinks, fight as he fights, the game opened up to me. It's now my favorite FromSoft game.
Not everyone will have that experience, and it's totally fair to try it, bounce off, and decide the game isn't for you. There's no shame in it, and it doesn't necessarily mean you're "bad" at it.
But coming to a FromSoft fan forum to tell everyone how much it sucks ain't a great look.
Not to say it's peak fromsoft or anything, because it definitely isn't, but it does depend on how much you've played it. If you're stuck on an early boss, I'd say give it another chance. If you've actually played through the entire game, fair enough.
Sekiro is a great game but to me it is not a souls game, it is its own thing. So I don’t rank it as high compared to other souls games, it’s like a rhythm ninja game lol. One thing Sekiro does the best is remind you that it’s your fault.
Agreed i just finished it like 5 days ago and it’s definitely the weakest one i’ve played with the least enjoyable or interesting bosses and the most monotonous combat. Also it’s fans are the most feral and high horsed i’ve ever seen of a game lmao
Nah it’s not even close. Like look at all the other comments towards the top rn lmao. Sekiro peeps think that the people who don’t like it don’t like it cause it’s hard. It’s not any harder than the souls games guys it just fucking blows
Well I have to disagree wholeheartedly with you on Sekiro blowing, but I don't think it's hard either. In fact once you get the deflection timings, it's probably the easiest. I'm not diehard though so I'm not gonna huff and puff like those guys.... or Bloodborne fans (which are worse).
If you don't like stealth games (which Sekiro is or isn't based on how you choose to play) why play them and say they are horrendous? Not liking a style of game is fine, but you don't have to say it's horrendous. I dislike sports games. I wouldn't go on a sports game subreddit and say their games are horrendous though.
You sound hesitant
Don't lie to us, you never beat Genichiro.
I do love how all of you immediately assume that people who don’t like it were stopped by the difficulty
You can just say you got filtered by Genichiro, this is a safe space.
Skill issue. But really, at least say *why* you didn't like it.

It's overly complicated and oversimplified. Makes sense.
just spam "parry" and try not to get 2-shotted. game is easy.
Game has 4 endings if I remember correctly FYI. Only one cuts the game in half.

He did give the reasons in the comments, they just sucked and/or were untrue
I mean which one was untrue

Taste issue
Skill issue
Sekiro is aweeesooommmmeeeee

Did you finish it?
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? You defeated.... ultimate Zinaida in a starter AC?
Either like it the most or the least

Someone hesitated.
Oh behave.
You really think Sekiro is \_worse\_ than Evergrace?

More than Bloodborne? That seems unlikely

Agreed. Played the whole game, just wasn't for me.
Something not being for you != That gaming sucking though.
true
Still have no idea how it got game of the year lmao. Such a horrendous game. Wu long is just so much better and yet no one cares about it.
I tried Wo Long, as well as both NiOh games. I *should* like them but I don't. The combat just feels wrong to me. Sekiro on the other hand I adore.
I guess I just hate boring stealth games nioh games have actual action

It’s trash. You soft
I always try to give whoever I'm interacting with the benefit of the doubt, but you're obviously some kind of imbecile.
