Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a third-person action game about feudal Japan, where beautiful landscapes coexist with burning villages and brutal battles. The main character serves the Ashina clan, and his master is kidnapped by the opposition leader Genichiro. The path begins at the bottom of the well, where the hero comes to his senses, and then he has to fight his way through castles, villages and mountain temples. The battle is built around stances and parries: blows are blocked at the right moment, and the accumulated fatigue of the enemy opens up a fatal blow. The hero has one weapon, but a prosthetic arm replaces a whole arsenal - axes, umbrellas, firecrackers and cats are inserted into it, expanding the tactics. Abilities are revealed gradually, and with them the routes change: what you passed by before becomes accessible. Death is not the end of the road here: the hero has the ability to return to life, but abuse of this gift spreads the disease among friendly characters. Therefore, caution and observation of the enemy are valued much more than pressure. Death takes away some experience and money, and returning to life is more expensive if this gift is abused. Stealth allows you to complete part of the mission undetected, remove the sentries and approach the boss with an advantage. The world is full of verticals: roofs, rocks, branches and secret passages, and for hidden treasures and improvements you have to climb into places that are at first glance inaccessible. Bosses test your patience: some require dozens of attempts, but after victory you are left with the feeling of passing the exam. For those who are ready to learn attack patterns and not give up after the hundredth defeat, this fighting school remains one of the best.
