Whats the criticism? You ran out of Vials? You gotta buy more? Youre out of Echoes? All your Vials are in your storage box? I dont understand. Do you not want resource management to be a factor endgame? Does this not translate to hunting for you?

Sekiro works a LOT differently from Souls too, so I think its a little funny if anyone tries to use it as a supporting argument for Estus always being better than Vials. Vials are actually cool because its more or less the Moon Grass from Demons Souls, but geared more for the mechanics Souls itself & leaning less on the classic Low/High potion formula that just doesnt really translate too well at the end of the day.

Big thought here is about Humanity & Soul Gems, and the levels of bullshit Dark Souls used to make up for all the healing ability they give you. Not to mention fucking Miracles, man. What most people think of as Dark Souls style healing really only happened in 3, where you had to rely almost entirely on Estus to heal. Every other game has a system more like Blood Vials, only throughout the game you collect more Estus charges until your flask is complete and thats pretty much all you need. To a lot of players, the game tossing you 3 free heals and basically saying good luck feels like a slap in the face and BAD game design
