Ok. I… actually really like this. I’ve worked my way through past the first proper boss and into the first area after the introduction. It took me about an hour to actually see the Lies of P title roll across the screen, and then things opened up in interesting ways.
I wasn’t hugely enamoured with it when I tried the demo, but they fixed a lot of my issues. Parrying isn’t necessary imo, but they’ve included some great ways to practice the timing, which is in no way as egregious as Sekiro was anyway.
I think if you like From games, then I’d say at least give this an evening. I was a little standoffish at the start, but I’m pretty into it now.
