“Rockstar really cooked with this one. The game had me hooked from start to finish. The story follows a gang of outlaws near the end of the Wild West era. The game has complex likable (and hateable) characters, an intricate story, excellent dialogue writing and a beautiful massive open world map.
People complain about the gameplay, but come on, its a game on cowboys not a sci-fi first person shooter.”
We follow three main characters in this narrative driven video game. In my opinion, Connor has the best story with Markus being second. Kara's story didn't interest me too much especially because it didn't feel as impactful as the other two in terms of the game's storyline. Its worth mentioning that the choices you make really do make a hell of a difference which is a great experience. Overall its a good game to play once but doesn't have any replayability.
The gameplay is absolutely phenomenal and addictive. Fromsoft has perfected parry mechanics with Sekiro. The bosses are extremely hard but that's why beating them gives you a sense of achievement. Unlike other soulslike games, there's no level up mechanism in Sekiro, so you can't simply make your character overpowered to beat a foe but have to improve your skill level. This is what makes the game unique and very fun to play.
