FromSoftware are known for their extremely challenging games that often pull cheap shots on their players as well as kooky moments in said games. Combining both of those provided a major WTF moment for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice streamers.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has finally arrived today - 22 March 2019 and it's safe to say that the majority of gaming critics and players are enjoying FromSoftware's new game. Scores on Metacritic are overwhelmingly positive at the moment.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice seems to be a well-optimised game as its PC system requirements are fairly low. The 25GB required disk space may not even be initially required as PlayStation 4 download is almost half that size before DLC.
