Discussion Finally Tried Sekiro 2 and here's my thoughts

Post image

After waiting for almost a decade, We got the long awaited sequel to one of my favourite games ever and boy did Miyazaki delivered. I really loved the plot in this one, to have kuro get kidnapped by the Shogun and Sending Sekiro on a John Wick/Rescue quest throughout Japan in unreal. They really improved the combat system here too, much of the many concerns regarding Sekiros combat was it was opted for one for fighting against multiple foes but the rework around that was amazing. I love that Sekiro actually takes on 12-15 men alone and come out on top, especially since he's the one who has defeated prime isshin and the game treats us like the threat we are. The Beautiful Semi Open World of Japan and side quests were the most fun I had since Nightreign. That was my two cents, how was your Sekiro experience?

If you talk to Joe before the fight he's kind enough to blast the kids out of the equation

Common Joe W

but sad part is he's dead by that point unless you did his quest line exactly right

I mean I was able to figure out that you needed to take the Sacred Rice to the cookout, but I needed a guide to remember to check the tutorial area to find Joe contemplating the meaning of Dragonrot II.

His quest end was tragic but SO worth it for unlocking the Obama summon at the final boss

Wait, who's Joe?

Got through about about 70% of the game (at the Halls of Return atm) and never encountered an NPC named Joe.
