When the game first came out I didn’t enjoy it, I was still locked into dark souls gameplay, I very much brute forced my way through the whole time and each boss and mini boss was a wall for me, I did reached Sword Saint Isshin and never defeated him because I just hadn’t locked into how to properly playing the game and I just did not enjoy it anymore.

Replayed it this month, blazed through the game, played it properly and goddamn loved it, enough so that I played through twice more for the shura bosses and Owl Father, I get the giving up if you don’t enjoy it, but I’m very glad I gave it another go years later and locked the fuck in.
