Sekiro

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-adventure game developed by FromSoftware and published by Activision in 2019. Set in a mythologised version of Sengoku-period Japan, it follows a shinobi named Wolf on a quest to rescue his kidnapped lord and exact revenge. The game stands apart from the studio’s Soulsborne titles with its emphasis on stealth, vertical traversal, and precise swordplay. Combat is fast and punishing, rewarding timing and aggression over patience. There is no character levelling or build variety, making skill the central focus. It is an unforgiving but expertly crafted experience for players seeking a demanding challenge.
