A masterpiece. Mixing stealthy Tenchu-like mechanics into a souls-like game was a marriage made in heaven. I came in thinking it would be dark souls with some very basic stealth mechanics that wouldn't matter much. However, I was completely wrong. Stealth is an intricate part of the game. The game differs so much from souls games ranging from combat, movement, and story that this is wholly its own thing with only slight ties to previous games. Meaning you shouldn't play it like a souls game or you will get pummeled. But once the game clicks there is no turning back, you will be hooked from start to finish.

The sword combat alone is the best sword combat I have ever played in a game. The clashing of katanas in a boss battle is something you have to experience. Timing is key, parries matter. Which makes this game the most engaging game I have ever played. Your into every encounter almost engaging it in a rhythmic trance.

Look, I could go on and on. From setting to world-building. This game is just special. Very deserving of the game of the year title it won in 2019. It might even be the best game that decade. Miyazaki is a man that should be cherished. No other man can make games like this. This man's games are in the Mario and Zelda tier of magic.



*rant alert*
I just wish more people could get over the "it's too hard" thing. That's the point, it's meant to keep you engaged and not just mindlessly stumbling through it. You can't just run up and smash right bumper brainless while listening to a podcast and get rewarded. If you want that, go play Skyrim. Just remember everything is tough when you first start it. This is not like other games you've played. So it takes time to adjust and learn. You just have to stick with it, trust me, it's beyond worth it.

My first soulsborne game I've played and get platinum in and what to say. The gameplay is the best gameplay I ever played in a game. So perfectly,Flawless and a lot of things like the sound that come from parry, deflect is so good and give you good sense. The story is not hard to understand like all souls game and it's really good. The characters are great all like Wolf, Genichiro, Owl, Isshin, and more of them. In the end i give this game 10/10 because it opened for me the best game genre ❤️.
