Throw out everything you've learned from Dark Souls.
Sekiro is very difficult to play, but only because it involves a different play style to what people are comfortable with.

Once you get used to the play style, it becomes one of the most engrossing games you would ever play. The combat is tough, relying on a mechanic known "Posture" as a way to get a "deathblow", an instant kill on both enemies and your own character, meaning that if your posture breaks you can be killed quite easily. Timing attacks, blocks, parries, dodges, and counter-attacks leaves combat intense and stunning to view.

Bosses are difficult but fair, each employ their own type of play style that you have to learn. They each have multiple health bars, leading to second phases and require multiple deathblows to kill them. The game does not let you over-level or grind to make bosses easier, to get stronger you need to kill bosses, it reinforces the concept of trial and error. but when you do finally kill a boss you've been stuck on, the satisfaction it brings is glorious.
