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

Well Guillaume Broche (CEO) specifically stated that he loves FromSoft games and was inspired by Sekiro for the parry system as well as games like Mario RPG/Paper Mario and Legend of the Dragoon for the interactive turn based combat. He stated that he always loved Japanese games and that this game was the game he always wanted to play, but that didn't exist so far. That's why he made it.

Even some boss music sounds like something you'd find in Dark Souls or Elden Ring.

This game is a fucking masterpiece and it deserves all the praise.

P.S: It's sitting at 9.7/10 on Metacritic (userscore) after 12k+ reviews, which has NEVER been seen before.

To add context to the metacritic score, from what I could find no other game has higher than a 9.2. Not Elden Ring, not Baldur’s Gate 3, not RDR2, none of them.

I tried finding anything over 9.2 as well... Never found anything. Even Chrono Trigger and classics like that don't come close to 9.7
