Maybe its just not my cup of tea its one of those games which beautifully follow the principle of easy to learn hard to master.

Comparing Sekiro to games like dark souls, DMC, ninja Gaiden, nioh etc you will realize how shallow the combat really is. Hell for being a shinobi you aren't even supposed to be mobile during boss fights(except for DoH and guardian ape) and ironically being mobile during the boss fights will only get you killed. Sure occasionally you have to jump to counter sweeps and dash for mikiri(even though you can parry it easily) but that's all there is to the combat, it just looks good but is mechanically inferior. The bosses are aesthetically pleasing fights but if you narrow it down all you do is time the L1 and as long as you do so there is no real threat at all. This type of combat don't make this game hard but shallow and boring.

I love this game don't get me wrong I even completed it till ng+5 for the sake of achievements but I don't like the fact that the entire combat revolves around a single button press: L1.
