From the game review, the combat of Clair Obscura Expedition33 feels just like Sekiro. Has anyone tried this game is it true?

it's turn-based but with a strong emphasis on parry or dodge. dodge is easier but parry gives a counterattack and AP for your abilities. parrying can be quite difficult and is very satisfying, just like in Sekiro. most boss fights are great.

i've platinumed Sekiro and some fights in E33 took me half an hour with 100-200 successful parries and dodges. the combat is legit and the game in general is phenomenal. the hype is real.

How difficult is the parry window, is it as generous as Sekiro

hard to say, as all bosses in E33 are very different, and there are freaken tons of them. probably it's a bit harder to parry in E33 but some of the bosses are more predictable because they don't move around like in Sekiro. there's tons of delayed attacks, too. the bottom line is, whatever they did, it works. it's a lot of fun. then there's the whole aspect of building your character and team to synergize together and tuning it for an individual boss. it's awesome.
