Stealth
Ways Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is Different From Dark Souls
There are various ways to tackle different situations – one method being stealth. Dark Souls does have a few moments when stealth can be used, but for the most part, the idea of sneaking around in the Souls games would be unorthodox. In Sekiro, you can lean against a wall and wait for an enemy to walk by to silently get the kill. Or, you may want to grapple up to a perch and survey the area before diving down and taking out an enemy from behind without being noticed. This is a massive difference from Dark Souls.
If you’re someone who is struggling with the brute force method, the game is designed for you to take a more stealthy approach, which may yield different results. You probably won’t be able to stealth-kill bosses, but it’s pleasing to hear Sekiro will allow for more than just head-on attacks, potentially making it more accessible to some players.
