Yes, we know that the phenomenon of the moment is Elden Ring’s excellent Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, but we haven’t forgotten that FromSoftware has also created other great games. For this reason we want to offer you five good reasons to play (or rediscover) Sekiro Shadows Die Twice in 2024.
It is a unique game in the FromSoftware panorama
Nowadays, FromSoftware is (rightly) compared to Dark Souls and all its derivatives (soulslike, soulsborne or whatever you want to call them), but we are well aware that this type of game is not liked by everyone. Well, if you fall into the latter category, don’t mistreat Sekiro Shadows Die Twicebecause despite being equipped with the unmistakable imprint of FromSoftware it’s not a soulslike!
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is a action game with a technical, rapid and stratified weapon combat system. Promotes an attitude stealth (in some ways inherited from Tenchu, an old FromSoftwaree production) and is equipped with an excellent level design with a marked verticality. In this regard, the grappling hook supplied by the protagonist proves to be an exceptional tool both in combat and in exploration.
It’s damn hard, but in the right way
It’s not a souls game, but it’s still a FromSoftware game! Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is characterized by an extremely high difficulty which places it among the most difficult games of the Japanese studio’s production.
By telling you this, in any case, we don’t want to scare you, but rather offer you an incentive to test yourself. This because Sekiro Shadows Die Twice isn’t meanly difficultbut rather in a severe and fair manner: each fight is designed and meticulously balanced to push you to an act of courage and determination that cannot ignore a meticulous learning phase punctuated by a considerable number of deaths.
And Axe you cannot get to a fight over-leveled (vitality and attack power can only be increased by following a path pre-established by FromSoftware) e you are not allowed call a friend for help (there is no multiplayer at souls). In other words, there is no way to lower the level of a fight below a pre-established level. You just have to commitbut we assure you that the satisfaction you will get from it will be unparalleled.
There’s never enough of the Sengoku period
Let’s tell the truth, the Sengoku period is one of the most fascinating in the history of humanity, so this could be enough for many to convince them to recover Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. This is a period of Japanese history between 1467 and 1603, also called the “warring states period” due to the numerous tumults that characterized it. Japan was fragmented into multiple states in constant battle with each other and the structure of the entire island was constantly changing.
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice adds further spice by contaminating the story with gods fantasy elements with the unmistakable stylistic imprint of FromSoftware.
It has a less cryptic plot than souls
The various Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring are characterized by extremely cryptic and hermetic plots that can only reveal themselves to those who have the patience to analyze every single detail. Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, for its part, is characterized by a much more traditional narrativewith characters who interact, speak and explain their actions (there is also Italian dubbing!), a concrete threat (mainly of a military type), various twists and turns and three endings.
Lovers of FromSoftware’s poetics, in any case, need not fear, because in the crevices of the scenarios and in the words of the non-player characters there are also many other details capable of suggest and fascinate those who do not stop the main narrative.
Artistically sublime
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice is son of the old generation of consoles and it has never been updated to support the additional potential of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
The architecture and landscapes are typically Japanese filled with anguish, pain and perversionthemes that no one like FromSoftware is capable of bringing to the screen with so much flair and originality. The visual power of certain scenarios is simply impressive and the variety never fails, in this way the sense of discovery (and the wonder that comes with it) is constantly fueled with all the 30-40 hours needed to complete the adventure.
