Summary

Daniel criticizes Sekiro’s PC keyboard prompts, sluggish movement, unreliable lock-on/parries, simplistic combat, and repeated two-hit deaths. He praises its melancholic samurai atmosphere, art style, Japanese voice acting, and understands roughly 80% of dialogue without subtitles. He wants limb dismemberment, weapon pickups, more varied arms, and rates the game 1.2/10, preferring Ninja Gaiden.

Insight

His review prioritizes responsive, varied action over atmosphere, continuing his rejection of slow, repetitive progression systems.
