![]() ![]() It first hit the Switch a few months ago to rave reviews, and it’s looking like this belated PS4 version hasn’t lost anything. ĭevolver Digital’s The Messenger is an altogether different ninja adventure, influenced by Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi and other retro classics. Stealth and the ability to wall-run should make for a remarkably different experience to past Souls-likes. ![]() In fact, FromSoftware are one of the most consistent developers out there.įor the uninformed, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is set in 15th century Sengoku Japan, starring a disgraced and disfigured warrior who uses prosthetic tools as weapons. FromSoftware rarely puts a foot wrong though, so we imagine it’ll be a safe purchase. Less pleasing is the fact that reviews are under embargo until a day before launch. It’s pleasing to see Activision hasn’t pushed DLC, retailer exclusive content, deluxe editions with early access and all the other gimmicks publishers are keen to flog. If you’re still confused as to why the house of Call of Duty has picked up publishing rights, ask yourself this: which publisher wouldn’t want a Dark Souls spin-off in their line-up? However there are no real challenges in this game and even though there are 25 possible endings you will feel like you have seen everything after 7 or so play through, which is enough to fully appreciate the game, so getting all 25 possibilities can feel quite tedious and repetitive.When it was revealed Activision are involved with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, some folk were left scratching their heads. The game is filled with pop-culture references and the narrator always found ways to make me chuckle and keep the story fresh. The world is beautiful and the vibrant colours makes you want to revisit it after you finish a play through. The combat although simple is very fluid and enjoyable with multiple swords at your disposal each with different abilities.

I would honestly have paid $25 and been happy with it. All things said this is well worth the $15 USD. I also got stuck in the terrain while breaking ice crystals once. Fairly frequently (once every 10 levels or so) terrain will just fail to load which forces you to restart the level midway in certain circumstances. The only reason I am not giving this a 10, and I really really want to give it one, is that there are some really annoying bugs. I absolutely need to see how every story thread unfolds and I am now in the process of not being productive for the foreseeable future. The single greatest aspect is how the story unfolds. I'll find myself up against a mass of enemies and some how manage to get to a high combo without taking a hit, but then get poked once in the next fight against 3 baddies when I let my guard down for a second. The combat is very satisfying without being too easy or too hard. Going in blind made this game a great surprise. I actually saw it on steam first, but hadn't used my PS4 in forever so gave it a go on that.
