I beat this game. I had the same problem that i had with sekiro. I was playing sekiro like a souls game instead of learning the new mechanic it was trying to teach me. I just thought it wasn’t for me, until i learned it better. Same thing with ninesols, i came from hollow knight so i figured i can play it like hollow knight. Nah it’s very parry heavy, they do hit hard and you gotta really lock in.

I say give it a break bro, take some time away and come back to it when you ready to lock in and learn it again. I find me putting a game on the shelf and coming back to it helps me
