Well sekiro is kind of interesting and one of my favorites. If combat doesn't click it's a miserable experience. So many people think you have to memories boss patterns to know when to deflect and that's only partially true. The key to sekiro is keep swinging until the boss deflects and then you start deflecting.

If you figure that out early the game can be piss easy

What I always thought was impressive with Sekiro is the hitbox detection is incredible. It makes for some extremely satisfying (though challenging) combat if you're not just spamming the parry button to cheese it.

I've only played Dark Souls 1 and Sekiro but compared to DS1's janky hitbox detection at times, Sekiro is a joy to play.

Radahn is pretty damn tough in the grand scheme of souls games, but I don't think he is the hardest boss ever, unless you are either making the fight hard or are trying to pure caster that shit. Melenia demands more perfect execution and/or specific builds to solo, so she is at the minimum comparable. Midir is a total rape fest unless you build around parrying him (which parries were much harder in DS3) and even then you have to have some very specific builds to take him on, plus the fight is cheese proof.

Disagree with pretty much every part of this. Didn't even know you could parry Midir, and beat him fairly easily with pretty much every build I've gone through DS3 with.

Melania's not all that difficult as long as you play conservatively and are ready for Water Fowl at all times.

Radahn's definitely up there and probably the toughest overall, but full on tank/shield poke still makes a joke out of him. I also got wrecked way too many times before realizing how much better it is to roll into him instead of away, so being retarded could be part why I think he's so hard

I cant agree on Midir, but concede everyone finds different bosses as the hardest. And yeah so many bosses can be beat by rolling into them, but it is so counter intuitive that it does not occur to most players.

Wish we would get a release date for Tarnished Edition content, just looking for an excuse to do a replay.

What's that supposed to be?

It's supposed to add some new weapons and armor, along with Torrent cosmetics and two new starting classes. Not sure if there is more beyond that as FROM hasn't really given details.

Edit: Should clarify that the Tarnished Edition is the Switch 2 release but they will bring whatever content it adds to the other platforms.

No such thing as cheese. If its in the game its a legit build. :emoji_thumbsup:
Brother I played ER at release and enjoyed all the broken ass cheese builds from the frost stomp axe to the blood slinging katana whatever and I can tell you that a few minutes of those builds gave me lactose intolerance there was so much cheese.
