i decided to retry this game as the last time i tried it was 4 months ago. the game has certainly improved by a lot and you can tell that they are doing their best, il run through all my old complaints and see if they are solved or not. 1. no saving, this was fixed and added and made it so much easier and less frustsrating so you dont have to start all over evrytime. 2.. map not loading correctly, now i dont know if its because of my new pc or for the game but i did not have any problemns this time. 3. not being able to get out of the water in certain levels, this was also fixed. now i do have a new thing that i noticed that would change the game amazingly wich is: 1. add so you can load 2 save slots in 1 or 2 worlds since you can accdentlky softlock the game by saving at wrong/bad points. 2. make the fog/bloom less circly and pixelated or add a setting to tone it down, it does add to the envoirment but it just is too much and is too foggy. overall glad i came back to this game, i think it is a good game to play for about 1-3 hours and have fun and keep your brain puzzled, also the story is relative but mabye some kind of lore or story could be cool :) keep up the good wo…

I've run through tutorial and am on first level, I've enjoyed it so far. Technical discussion: I'm running on a core i7-8700 with a GTX1650, Ubuntu 24.04. The Linux build of this game is busted, I had to go to "force use of a compatibility tool" and choose Proton 11.0 (Beta) (although probably any Proton version would do) to use the Windows build. That worked fine. This game uses Godot engine, so the performance is excellent; I think if your system has enough specs to run Steam to begin with, it'll run this well. It's free, check it out! --Henry

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
