Game review: SekiroShadowsDieTwice is a thrilling test of skill

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the latest action game from Japanese developer FromSoftware, which has earned a reputation for making challenging games.

Sekiro, though, introduces a new posture system whereby you fill up an enemy's posture gauge by deflecting attacks. Once this bar is filled, the enemy is open to a fatal deathblow. There is no multiplayer in Sekiro and while you can grind enemies to unlock useful skills, the game ultimately requires a certain amount of skill and perseverance to progress. Or in gaming lingo, you need to"git gud".

To be fair, the game lets you level the playing field using stealth. Your character, Wolf, has a prosthetic arm with a grappling hook that lets him leap onto rooftops, hang on ledges and basically surprise enemies from behind for an easy one-hit kill.
