Slant = Nuff Said.

Not worth the clicks friends...

Gardenia2486d ago

Just clickbait. There is always one

wwinterj2486d ago

With every good games comes a site that rates it lower for clicks. With every bad game comes a site that rates it a big higher for clicks. If I see anything like this I automatically ignore it.

Slant literally exists to give games bad and lower than the review average scores.

He actually makes some good points in his article, but a 4 it certainly is not. The stealth is too easy, the AI is too dumb, the bosses all come down to the same method of fighting, there is a HUGE balance problem, and personally I think the enemy and boss designs have been severely lacking. The coolest one has been the giant snake, but that wasn't really even a boss fight tbh.

The game is to difficult for the Ai to be good it's probably like this for a reason
And been dumbed down.

@Sean

Actually the regular fodder enemies are absolutely easy as balls. Usually are easily dispatched with a couple hits or a perfect parry. Plus, if you decide to use stealth for most of your playthrough then you're going to be severely under prepared for the sword fights that await you in the bosses or even mini bosses. They all require you to parry very well and then chip at their health until they can't refill their posture. Posture break them and then shinobi strike. It's the same damn method for just about every boss fight. But the difference is the regular fodder enemies don't pose any sort of threat, they attack slow, and can be easily out smarted so they don't really prepare you at all.

kenpachi2486d ago

Are these clowns and Tom chick competing against each other for biggest clicks for crap reviews

ShockUltraslash2486d ago

Funny they gave DMC5 high scores.
If you apply the same metric of quality to Sekiro it should fare the same.

Ha, you ain't getting my clicks boah!

Sekiro: No Defeat | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll

Japan is fractured into many independent nations entangled in ceaseless war. At the center lies Ashina, a land of sacred earth and ancient mystery. Two decades after Sword Saint Isshin Ashina reclaimed the region in a brutal coup, a new threat emerges from within: The Interior Ministry. Desperate to protect his homeland, Isshin’s grandson Genichiro turns to forbidden powers. The only hope lies in a kidnapped boy — the Divine Heir — and his silent protector: a loyal shinobi known only as Sekiro.

don't pay for this streaming platform, just do some research and find free streaming elsewhere. they took money after I canceled

This looks cool, but there's something off about the art. It looks like they added sketchy lines to make it look gritty instead of making it look gritty.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Review

NoobFeed editor Ahnaf Tajwar writes - FromSoftware cooked up one of the best combat systems with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and never did anything like it again. That may be a good thing, as it makes this game one of a kind. If you are a fan of Souls games or a borderline masochist, you will, without a doubt, love Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice because it is a masterpiece. It is a must-play for all hardcore gamers.
