Embora desafiador para jogadores hardcore, os 2 níveis por dificuldade e a variedade do mecânicas de combate e habilidades tornam o game conseguível para jogadores de todos ESTES níveis.

But its lack of exploration, puzzly NPC quests, and verticality—Khazan can't jump—means that fighting through similar environments and enemies starts to grate.

Do you remember the moment that Sekiro forced you to start playing by its rules?

Isso porque, apesar do deter propriedades saiba como combates punitivos e qual dependem bem do gerenciamento de estamina e ambientes com bom design e atalhos interessantes, eles não trazem todas as ferramentas que ajudam a dar personalidade ao game.
