2 hours into Sekiro and it's awesome. The difficulty is in the combat instead of artificial elements. And damn the combat is great. The first real test (outside of the tutorial) is the first mini-boss and it forces you to learn how to play the game. If you hang back and play defensively, you will have a lot of trouble and probably die. It wasn't until I really figured out that you need to be on the attack, constantly, and stay laser focused, that you can get through guys, and man you feel awesome when you do.
It's more what I've always wanted from a From Software game, more story, less RPG elements, less time wasting difficulty (no fast travel, etc.). Can't wait to play more and see how much the first real boss destroys me.
