This game does very well to reinvent the combat system not just from Dark Souls but all other 3rd person action games with melee combat. In pretty much all 3rd person action games the boss fights are about observing, evading and attacking when you see an opening and repeat. In Sekiro you still need to observe but the system encourages you to carry out a relentless assault until the boss has run out of stamina (posture) thus making them vulnerable to a deathblow that will wipe out any hit points they have remaining. Gameplay is superb and that is all I care about.
