Let Players Die Contentedly and Happily (Request Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

The biggest difference from Dark Souls and Bloodborne was the combat system.

It could be said that Sekiro leaned more toward ACT—action games.

Bloodborne and Dark Souls, on the other hand, still leaned more toward RPG elements.

The main reason was that Sekiro had originally been conceived in his previous life as a spiritual successor to a game called Tenchu.
