Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and why dying twice isn’t enough

- Ameer

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a game from the Soulbornes series, is the next iteration of try hard gaming. The game’s basic premise is that you’ll fight people, monsters, and all sorts of baddies. If you’re a fan of Dark Souls, or Bloodborne, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into. Only, it’s Japanised and has Japan’s aesthetic all over.The game lets you explore late 1500s Sengoku Japan, a brutal period of conflict and death. You will definitely come face to face with larger than life foes in a dark and twisted world. Unleash an arsenal of deadly prosthetic tools and powerful ninja abilities while you blend stealth, vertical traversal, and visceral head to head combat in a bloody confrontation. That’s samurais, ninjas, mystical beings, Shoguns, and more.

The game will make sure you look cool, but don’t expect an easy fight. No kids, this one’s for the big boys. The game truly is something that makes you either hate or love the challenge, but it will definitely spur some sort of emotion in you. The game is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. With all that said, let’s get into the review of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Gameplay and Storyline: An Injured Wolf

The game follows a pretty linear narrative, which is quite unique for a Soulsborne game. You play as Wolf, a Ninja/Samurai/ Badass that basically kills things, and gets shit done. Your death won’t come easily. You are the “one-armed Wolf”, a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from ‘death’. Bound by duty to protect a young lord, who is also the descendant of an ancient bloodline. Wolf will become the target of many, and an ally to few. Among them, is the ever dangerous Ashina Clan, who are after the the young lord. When he is captured, you set out on your quest to regain your lost honour, and nothing will stop you, not even death itself.
