It's a different beast from soulsborne series. It might not have character customization like dark souls (sekiro is not an rpg after all), but in return you got the most polished and satisfying combat mechanic compared to any fromsoftware game so far. Combat variation comes from prosthetic tools and skills you can equip which impact how you approach enemies, due to each enemies had different weakness to certain tools and skills.
When you 'click' with the combat system, you will keep comparing combat mechanics from another action game to this masterpiece.

It took me 60 hours to get 100% achievements and getting all additional cosmetic and skills.
And as always, you will die A LOT.
