Considering how drastic the combat has changed from the souls/bloodborne series, difficulty will probably be harder to gauge and differ from person to person, coming from Souls fans.

Just beat the game with a Dualshock 4 using my feet. Can confirm it's easier than Souls. Probably on par with Kingdom Hearts III standard difficulty

Skimming through the thread, I'm seeing tweets from people who'll post their reviews... but I heard Digital Foundry hasn't even received a copy.

Any word if a technical analysis is underway?

Very odd to see all these "review in progress" articles. Tells me review copies likely didn't go out early enough.

Karak are you reviewing this one? Please say yes. If so, when did you get a copy?

Jonneh are you guys reviewing this game too? I know you've started doing more than just Nintendo games.
I wish, Activision didn't send us a code

I didn't have much interest in this but I'm impulsive and hate myself, so I'm going to preload it today. I'll just skip MK11 instead since I hate their roster and DLC practices.

FROMSOFT Is probably the only studio that can announce a game and I preorder Instantly with no hesitation.

Like half of Demons Souls' bosses are cinematic puzzle fights. One of them literally gives you a weapon you need to beat it in like 5 hits and then they repeated it in Dark Souls 3. It's not particularly hard compared to BB or DS3 and yet a lot of Souls fans still regard it as one of the better entries because it's so goddamn memorable.

That's what Miyazaki is after - crafting a memorable experience. Not forcing players to git gud.

Blessed From. Please don't do any more exclusives. Everyone deserves to play these games.

But the game shows you which attacks you should avoid and which you should parry. If you just follow the signs you'll win. It's ridicilious to say that the bull fight is unfair, because he tried to evade its attacks although you can deflect them. Actually you can just evade all of its attacks. Of course the animation can still hit you, but I wouldn't call that unfair.
I didn't read the review, just your comment with the quote included, and specifically only wanted to highlight that some of the Danger attacks can be deflected.

If the game does indeed show you which of those should be avoided altogether, then obviously the reviewer is at fault here. And of course, if deflecting isn't working out for him, just avoid them all for safe measure.

Loving these impressions from the full-game. Between RE2, DMC5 and Sekiro, my PS4 is going to get a lot of use once I get a new TV.

I want to go with Japanese audio and subtitles.

Is subtitles fonts big enough / customizable ?

Storm King will always be one of my favorite bosses. I wish they had repeated the gimmick MORE faithfully and done it during King of the Storm, having you blast smaller drakes out of the sky while dealing with the big one. Oh well.

Preach, sibling

Things are hidden and obtuse because realising things for yourself - not reading them on a wiki or asking questions on a forum - is so memorable and makes you really feel like you're on a journey that you'll never forget

Reading these reviews makes me super excited to play Sekiro this weekend. Sounds like a tough challenge though!
