Had fun with this one. It’s got some neat ideas and plays fine for the most part, just a few bugs here and there. Nothing amazing, but it’s not bad either. Keep your expectations low and there’s some fun to be had.

Meh tbh, I was bored after 10 minutes but just forced myself to finish. I just can't give negative review for a free student project game that works bug free and gotta give art team a high five but camera positioning was horrible to a point static objects limited player sight far too often. Still I would say play it just don't expect it to be too fun. A little bit soulless and it might be a lack of music I just can't 100% tell why.

This game is completely unplayable on Linux, I tried Proton hotfix, experimental, 9.0, even the in beta 11.0, and it never got above 10FPS outside of the loading screen. I'm sure it probably plays well on Windows, but if you're running Linux, just don't even try to play this game.

I had a lot of fun its always interesting when cute/whimisical games with darker stories underneath the whole style of the game is really pretty and thought out I had to restart/die and try again in order for the game to stop bugging out/soft locking and some of the audio logs didnt register despite me finding them all the first time i beat the game but i didnt mind replaying again because i had a lot of fun and if you guys fix it maybe make it a little more difficult/just patch the bugs i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys platforming, defeating enemies, and looking for collectables

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.
