For the past few days I've been having a go at Sekiro. My wife has noticed a drastic change in my language with this one, usually at the points when I've spent 20 minutes whittling down a health bar only to be brutally one-shotted. I've never played any of the Souls games (which some seem to think may make for a better starting point for this one), so it's all been a bit different for me. After an initial few hours of trying to time deflections in the first area before sprinting past the tutorial boss, I've started a new game. So far it's taken me - please feel free to laugh - just under 4 hours to get to the point where I've defeated the Chained Ogre, the third (but probably easiest) mini-boss I've encountered. Strangely, the three mini-bosses I've defeated have taken less time as I've moved on - I completely lost count of my deaths from the one in the prologue, then probably beat the one by the gate in 7-10 attempts, but got the Chained Ogre on the 4th or 5th try. I like the whole feudal Japan world, but just wish I could explore it a little bit more without the frequent boss fights (which I know are pretty much the point of the game). Anyway, I do like the game, but just don't think it's really for me as I have limited time for gaming and like to make a bit more progress when I do... I may pick it up again at some point, as there's a lot that's impressive about it. I just wish I wasn't so damned terrible at it!
