Guys!!!! Please read, I rated this one star last year as i couldn't understand the game mechanics.
Was stuck at Central yharnam Cleric beast for three weeks, then after learning the moves, it took me only two weeks to finish the entire game :)
Actually From software games are gems which everyone should try
Things i learned
1. If you are coming from a game like god of war, devil may cry, note that you cant just put easy mode and spam R1/R2.
2. Each enemy has unique move, observe them, then it should be fine.
3. You have to dodge at the last moment in these games to steer clear of boss/enemies, important point, i used to dodge immediately when i saw the animation.
4. Do your attacks in the attacking window of time provided, dont spam r1 like in other games.
5. Watch youtube and learn the patterns of enemies, they have some 6-7 moves only. With practise it will become normal.
6. You dont have to kill all the enemies in the area, search for important items/drops and kill mini bosses/bosses. This was my mistake earlier, i used to tryhard clearing all enemies before facing cleric beast, which is not required, just run to the cleric beast. After gaining confidence, you will figure out.
7. Parrying is best way to kill, just shoot as soon as most enemies raise their hand to attack you, figuring out this will take time, but once you do, you will easily pass through.
8. Use equipments for enemies, for example , Blood starved beast is easy to kill if you have pungent blood cocktail.
9. Dont waste your items, in the first attempt of boss, just figure out what they are doing in the first 5-6 fights, then use items carefully, they are not avaialble like in other games.
Hope it was useful. Now im in new game plus 4 :D
I also purchased Sekiro and playing now, completed one ending Shura :)
Dont miss out this gem of a game guys!!!!!!!!!
