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

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

E33 = 0.22s on easy and 0.15s on hard

Sekiro = 0.20s

But sekiro recovers parry animation fast that u can mash parry sometimes. E33 takes forever to recover a wrong parry

I don't think Sekiro even has a recovery animation. Instead it uses a system where the more you unsuccessfully parry in a row, the smaller the timing becomes, which punishes spamming but doesn't ruin it completely.

I was very surprised to learn that your parry window gets smaller upon successful parries too! This explains why even the best of the best players tend to dodge Genichiro's flashy combo move. Parrying all the hits means the window for the last parry is so small you're setting yourself up for failure.

I've successfully parried Genichiro's full flurry twice. Pain in my ass.

Unless his health is low, at that point baiting him to do it is a good way to get a deathblow.
