Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice - GOTY Edition

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 20: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Where to start with this game… it’s a love and hate relationship, the amount of times I felt like quitting was unreal but just kept coming back each and every time with that glimmer of hope that I could do it this time round and beat that boss standing in the way of progressing, eventually finishing the game and what a journey it was! I honestly wasn’t prepared as a souls player for the mechanics in Sekiro, as it’s not designed to be played in a traditional souls manner, you really have to be patient at times and other times be aggressive and know when you return back to defending and find the balance between the two, only through learning the enemies move set. When I reached the final boss I thought that’s it I can’t finish this game and I have to just quit and call it a wrap, but finally managed to finish the game today with the ‘normal’ ending after failing too many times, and what an achievement it feels like! You’ll know that exact feeling when you beat the bosses and it’s a feeling that’s hard to explain with mere words! Overall it’s nice the protagonist has a voice in this game as is otherwise normally from FromSoft! The story was pretty good too as was the graphics and ran really well on this old Mac Pro 2012 of mine via Bazzite (SteamOS) so very impressed overall. A Solid 9.5/10 and highly recommended and be ready to enter that love/hate relationship!
