Everything happens much faster than you anticipate, and even the tiniest errors have dire consequences. Sekiro is a game that requires exquisitely timed sword attacks, parries, and deflections against an array of staggeringly powerful enemies. So it’s no surprise that when I first announced to a few experienced gamer friends and colleagues that I was going to play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, most of them suggested I try another game first, or maybe not bother playing it at all.įor those who have never played it, 2019’s Sekiro is the downhill skiing of video games: it looks fairly easy and straightforward when you’re watching someone else play it in a video, but it’s a whole other level of hard when you try it for yourself. I finally got around to buying a PlayStation 4 in the latter part of the same year.

Apart from a Game Boy in the 1990s, the first console I owned was a Nintendo Switch that I bought in early 2018 to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I don’t consider myself a gamer - I’m just someone who quite likes playing video games.
