I’ve actually played a bit of Sekiro before, I only got to Lady Butterfly, but I wasn’t meshing too well with the combat and put the game down. I’ve picked it up and set it back down a few times since, always starting from the beginning, but maybe this go around will be the one where I can see it through to completion. Fingers crossed!
I’ve been in a bit of a gaming limbo since I beat my first playthrough of Bloodborne earlier this year. I’ve been trying out and revisiting a bunch of games and nothing seems to stick.
I’ve been returning to genres that I’ve really enjoyed in the past, like survival-horror and detective games, only for them to fall flat. But that’s cool, those genres were kind of the soundtrack to specific moments in my life and right now seems to be the souls-era. While there are a ton souls games out there, my plan has been to just focus on the FromSoftware titles first before I check out the rest. The ones I still have to play are Dark Souls 2, Sekiro, and Armored Core 6, which I guess isn’t really a souls game, but I can’t say no to a FromSoft entry at this point. Technically I still have things to do in Dark Souls 1 (put it down after Ornstein and Smough) and Dark Souls 3 (didn’t complete the dlc, but have since lost my save), but I think I’ll wait a while before I revisit those games.
I also picked up the Devil May Cry games while on sale. I love the og Resident Evil 4 so it should be fun to see how an early iteration of that game evolved into its own thing and spawned a whole series.
I was also impatient and bought some new releases that, while they seem up my alley, aren’t meshing with my current mood. Oh well, live and learn.
Ah interesting, I didn’t realize that. And I’m not quite sure how far I got, but the one thing I remember was there were bird guys on the roofs giving me a heck of a time, it was my first time running into them.
