Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice review - Nothing short of a masterpiece

While the rest of the world was calling out for Bloodborne 2 to be FromSoftware's next big game, a select few were hoping for an entirely new and fresh idea. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was this new title, and it was immediately clear that it would be a huge departure from their past hit games such as Dark Souls and Demon's Souls. Sekiro is unapologetically the furthest from a typical Souls game in the best ways possible. As you might expect, the game is exceptionally difficult yet wonderfully rewarding in its combat and exploration. It bares all the trademarks of a FromSoft title but Sekiro's biggest departure however is that it's a character-driven story with a fairly explicit plot. In previous titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, you created your own character and gave them your own backstory, justifications and drives.
