Played and very much enjoyed DS1, DS2, DS3, and BB(This one not as much as the rest, I found it too easy and not as interesting imo). This game trumps all of them hands down, everything that Soulsborne does wrong this game does right. The controls have never been more fluid and precise, the world is more beautiful than ever, and the combat has been improved in every way. In Soulsborne you go and you 'fight' bosses by dodging around and just hacking at them on their moves with end lag. In Sekiro you actually fight them, swords clashing, reacting to each move accordingly, and really duking it out with the bosses. This has easily become my favorite FromSoft game, easily overtaking DS3. Also I think it was a really nice decision to make an extra hard mode for NG+ because, while the game is definitely hard the first playthrough, it really amps up the difficulty and makes you learn the game and bosses. In order to beat any boss, including mini bosses, in the extra hard mode you must learn how to react to every possible move they do and do it right without mistake. I really enjoyed the first playthrough but this mode makes it so much more fun(and frustrating). This game makes the Soulsborne series looks like children's games.
