This match absolutely destroyed me on a personal level. In a contest where all of the Souls games -- even Nioh -- looked good, Sekiro is the one Souls-like that crapped the bed. I don't know why or how, either. Was it the "too hard" memes? Was it the lack of weapon options? I truly do not know, and I would love the opinion of anyone reading this who doesn't like the game to hit me up. This one has me stumped. The game has some issues, no doubt, but to fall this flat while ''all'' of the other Souls-likes did so well blows my mind. Not to keep plugging my reviews, but I think this will give you guys an idea of my love for the game: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/241004-sekiro-shadows-die-twice/reviews/168443

Yes, the camera work is a joke. Yes, the game is obnoxiously hard. Yes, the rope swing is effing goofy. So what? It makes the journey so rewarding, and it's what made this match so hard on me. Of all the Souls types to choke, it had to be Sekiro?

By the way, none of this is a slight on what Monster Hunter World accomplished or the respect that it's earned. Did you guys know it has 16 million sales, which is almost a third of sales for that entire series? It deserved to make waves during its long-awaited contest debut, and make waves it did. Just not at Sekiro's expense. Jeez :(

At least it was a 55-45 type loss to a very, very strong game, and in skipping ahead a little, maybe Sekiro didn't choke after all. Monster Hunter World would end up having a very respectable exit, and the game that beat it would itself have a ''very'' respectable exit. Here's hoping Sekiro just got unlucky instead of choking.

I will say this. If any game needs to die and come back for our sakes, there isn't a better example. The code must indeed be determined by the individual, my friends.
