Tactmax Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Review
Jul 14, 2025
Review title - FromSoft's most innovating game. High risk, High reward.
Critic Name - Tactmax
Sekiro isn’t Dark Souls with a katana — it’s something else entirely. No builds, no summons, no grinding. Just you, your sword, and a whole lot of trial and error.
The combat is fast and brutal. You either learn how to deflect or die trying. Every boss feels like a real fight — not a damage sponge, not a gimmick. When you win, it’s because you got better.
The story is way more direct than other FromSoft games. It still has depth, but it actually gives you characters and a clear narrative without making you read 50 item descriptions.
Sekiro isn’t massive or full of side content, but that’s the point. It’s focused, clean, and doesn’t waste your time.
Verdict: One of the most satisfying games I’ve ever played. No bloat, no shortcuts — just pure, tight design.
Final score - 9/10... story was great for a souls-like game!
