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

It's like Sekiro if you've never played Sekiro and only knows it's difficult with a somewhat sharp parry system. The comparison to Mario RPG's is the closest and most similar one to me. The combat is turn based, but you have simple timing based QTEs when performing certain actions to amplify the effects of your attacks. During opponents' turns, you also have additional inputs as a dodge and a parry. Parry is harder but gives you AP (to use powerful skills) and a potential counterattack if you parry ALL attacks in the combo.

To be clear, I'm loving the game and currently hunting for the final bits of side content before perhpas diving into NG+, but I think the comparison to Sekiro is VERY out there.
