    It does take some time to get used to it. As much as it’s a meme, it does click once you get to the mid-game. Also not worth to push through if you’re not feeling it at all

      I definitely have to give it another try. I think I’m just too set in my other Fromsoft games old ways.

        Oh yea I can imagine. I was fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to have Sekiro be pretty much the first FromSoft game I’ve ever played next to Bloodborne, so I didn’t have a mold of habits to break. It was tough tho. I bounced off the game hard twice and didn’t touch the game for several years. Having finished Bloodborne, I gave it another shot, didn’t suck as abysmally as before and the rest is history.

        You just need to fully accept the different gameplay loop to succeed. A little tip that helped me a lot was to just not move at all since that’ll usually just throw you off mid-combo and only focus on parries and occasional dodged for unparriable attacks. That way, you’re always perfectly lined up for parries and won’t get hit by a stray polygon on the edge off the attack.

        Let me know if you have any questions about anything concerning the game - maybe I can help somehow. :)

          Huh, didn’t think about not moving, I can see how that could help (at least I think, I haven’t touched it in a year or so haha). You’re right though, there’s lots of habits from the others to break.

          I still have it downloaded, so I may as well give it a try. Once I finish off some of the higher level chalice dungeons I’ve recently gotten back into.

          Thanks for the advice, I will let you know if I have any questions.
