Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes place in a reimagined late 1500s Sengoku Japan. You play Wolf, a shinobi sworn to protect a young lord with special blood. After losing his arm to the samurai Genichiro Ashina, Wolf is given a Shinobi Prosthetic and sets out to rescue his master.
FromSoftware’s 2019 game won Game of the Year at The Game Awards. It is more focused than the Souls series, with no character classes or multiplayer, and it is built around one demanding sword combat system.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Gameplay Overview
Combat centers on posture. Each enemy has a posture bar that fills when you deflect attacks at the right moment, and once it breaks you can perform a Deathblow. The grappling hook lets you move vertically, while the Shinobi Prosthetic adds tools like the shuriken, firecrackers and axe. If you die, you can resurrect once on the spot, which is where the game’s title comes from.
