Prepare to Dieįirst time Sekiro players should be expected to die over a hundred times (or much more) over the course of the game. While the story is easier to piece together than the Souls games, it’s still harder to piece together than traditional games. The story of Sekiro is told primarily through NPC interaction as well as item descriptions. While Sekiro is not a “souls” game, it takes a lot of inspiration from souls games.
