It's hard to know if I underrate it when I wasn't able to finish it (or, honestly, make it even halfway through). I liked what I played, but I'm clumsy and slow. In Dark Souls this is usually forgivable as long as you learn to choose the right option; in Sekiro you must execute and I never got good enough.

I've come to realize that I like the idea of Dark Souls and other FromSoft games, they have interesting stories and worlds.

But dear god for the life of me I can't get into them. I bought Elden Ring thinking I would find it more forgiving than Dark Souls. Nope. I got Sekiro thinking that I could just practice and git gud. Nope, the game actively punishes you for dying too many times.

And I know there are ways to counteract the Dragon Curse/Rot, but imo it's too far into the story (when I can't even get past the flashback portion in the burning castle) to make it worthwhile for me to play.

Note that the flashback portion ~is actually the game's DLC, and~ can be tackled at any point.

Its difficulty is higher than the area you're at in the main game, when you first unlock it.
