I held off for years on playing it because everyone said it was gruelingly punishingly difficult and not for casuals, but it turns out Sekiro: Shadows Die Shadows Die was basically made for me, the Dark Souls 2 enjoyer who learned how to parry back before it was cool. I've been having a blast.
also there's a huge snake. the best huge snake I've ever seen in a video game. "someone on the animation team loves snakes more than anything" levels of snakeyness. strong approval.
