Tried the demo on the PS5.
At its core it is NIOH. Same weighless, floaty/twitchy mechanics which I hate. The spirit gauge and the deflect stuff is straight out of sekiro.
Fans of Nioh would love it, as a fan of Sekiro I didnt like it enough, so I wont be buying it.
For new comers, game is definitely not easy, but if you have mastered Sekiro, than its kinda straight forward.
Sekiro however is a much more enjoyable experience compared to this, imo.
