Sekiro is one of the most satisfying games in terms of difficulty. All the bosses are incredibly hard, but each one of them has a different strategy, and there is actually an easy way to defeat them. Once you realize this over time, the game can become easier. The mechanics of the game are so good that the combat feels like dancing. Especially when fighting Lady Butterfly, it felt as though we were dancing together. Moreover, the journey of the one-armed shinobi, Sekiro, and the game's story are very impactful. The atmosphere of Japan’s Sengoku Era and the details of Ashina Castle were very beautiful.

The most well polished game From Software has ever made. From exploration to combat, every single little thing about it is just perfect. It's a hard game, as is expected of a From Soft title, sure, but its difficulty is just so carefully designed it's hard to even imagine how much play testing and brainstorming it must've taken to get there. Every single enemy has a strategy that can be applied to them, every fight can be turned over in an instant, for better of for worse, the map is a masterpiece of level design and nobody will ever convince me there's a better art direction team than From Software's.
This game is so genji and genji is Peak This game is so genji and genji is PeakThis game is so genji and genji is PeakThis game is so genji and genji is PeakThis game is so genji and genji is PeakThis game is so genji and genji is Peak
Feels like the kind of game that From Software would be making if they weren't derailed by the Soul's series, and yet it's a Souls game nonetheless. Beautiful artistic design. A real story that's lacking in the other Soul's games. Brutal boss fights and surprise horrors along the way. An amazing and challenging adventure into a fictionalized Japanese fantasy. Would love to play this game and have it preserved off of consoles!

Xenogears
XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.

By talking things out, you can earn components of spells the more components you have, the more powerful your spells become.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears. The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts. Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.

Trapped within the sprawling metropolis is the city's helpless populace, forced to turn on each other in order to survive.
