I am a simp for Sekiro so I will definitely play this. Just need to finish something else first.

I played the original demo and was a bit underwhelmed by the combat. It was way too easy, but more importantly, the trash mobs felt almost completely passive when you were fighting groups. They would just stand around waiting for their turn instead of putting any real pressure on you.
I'm a huge Sekiro fan and played it to NG+4, so I probably had pretty high expectations going in. The game looks great though, and I haven't played the extended demo yet, so I'm curious if they made any improvements.

Opencritic also thinks one of the worst games of this year (FH6) is the best.
Initially wrote this off as just another parry slop game, but it does sound a bit deeper than that. Not enough to buy it now (especially since Capcom still infects all their PC games with denuvo) but worth keeping an eye on for an Xbox sale someday.

Surprised to hear FH6 considered one of the worst. Just curious. I’ve been interested in a casual race game. Was eyeing FH5

FightinCowboy's opinion usually a good indicator for whether I'll enjoy a game, so will give it a shot!

Got ill this weekend so played through this. It's pretty good. Combat feels great, well optimized. Story meh, lots of boss and enemy re-use, nothing really "hard" and pretty short. This is a good game, 8/10 but definitely wish I'd waited to buy on discount. Nothing new here or particularly interesting, but well made with very snappy combat.

Best part about the combat is if you play to perfection and maximum damage potential, it feels appropriately rewarding-- along with being absolute cinema.
It's up there with some of the best action combat in terms of responsiveness. Difficulty, no. But it delivers on offering multiple paths to victory against bosses.
If you want the fight to look like complete shit and just hack your way through, you can do that and win eventually. If you want the fight to look like a CGI cutscene by stepping your game up and landing every counter, including all weapon counters, then it has that in spades also. They did a great job with a middle ground.
It should be noted that anyone who wants more difficulty can unlock it NG+ as it's already a feature in the game.
