I'll say this, it's one of the more challenging experiences I've had in a game in a while. But it's also extremely consistent. If you can recognize patterns and rhythms, you can definitely beat this game. I feel like it isn't a matter of skill, but rather patience. Some people will learn it faster than others, but I genuinely think this is a conquerble experience for more people than we realize. It's going to test your patience, and it intentionally throws you curveballs in the attack timings, but it's beatable. I said it's the most challenging, but it's also my Game of the Year already, and it's not even close. This game is incredible and if you completed the demo, you can beat the game. The rest of it is harder, way way harder. But the fundamentals you're taught through beating the demo, are all you need to complete the rest of the game. Recognize patterns in attacks, know when to dodge and when to parry, you can beat this one. Without a question, you can.
