Few other games get close to delivering the thrill, the sheer elation, of overcoming a boss in a FromSoftware game. The devastating lows of being pummelled over and over again by a Sekiro boss is matched only by the exhilarating glory of hard-fought victory. It’s a high that hardened Soulsborne players insatiably chase in the course of multiple New Game Plus runs.

As with other games like Dark Souls, you must submit yourself utterly to FromSoftware’s singular vision, or prepare to die. This has been the cause of debate recently as people on one side argue that there should be a Sekiro easy mode, while others say such an addition would tamper with Miyazaki and his team’s artistic vision. But what if beating this punishing slog through Sengoku Japan is not a question of skill but one of physical capability?
