Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-adventure game developed by FromSoftware and published by Activision, released in 2019. Set in a reimagined version of late 1500s Japan, the game follows the story of Wolf, a skilled shinobi seeking revenge and redemption.

In the game, Wolf is on a mission to rescue his kidnapped lord and take revenge on those who wronged him. However, after a failed attempt, he is left for dead and is resurrected by a mysterious figure. With a new lease on life and a prosthetic arm equipped with various tools, Wolf embarks on a perilous journey through a dark and brutal world, filled with deadly enemies, terrifying bosses, and treacherous landscapes.

Unlike FromSoftware’s other titles (such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne), Sekiro emphasizes a more focused combat system, with a strong emphasis on precise timing, parrying, and swordplay. The game also introduces stealth mechanics, allowing players to approach certain encounters more tactically. The narrative is more linear compared to the open-ended structures of FromSoftware’s other games, but it still maintains their signature level of challenge, intricate world-building, and cryptic storytelling.

Key features of Sekiro:

Tactical combat: Focus on "posture" rather than traditional health bars. Players need to parry and break the enemy’s guard.
Stealth and exploration: Players can sneak past enemies or use the environment to their advantage.
Resurrection mechanic: Wolf can revive himself after death, adding a unique twist to the challenge.
Story-driven experience: Unlike other FromSoftware games, Sekiro offers a more direct narrative.
The game received widespread critical acclaim for its challenging difficulty, fluid combat mechanics, and unique blend of stealth and action, eventually winning the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2019.
