Resurrection
Ways Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is Different From Dark Souls
A common theme throughout the Souls games is death and the unique way the games handle the death mechanic. Unlike Dark Souls, Sekiro allows you to respawn right where you died, which is a fascinating feature. Similar to the way you only get one chance to recover your lost souls in the Dark Souls games, Sekiro allows for only one resurrection until more enemies are killed.
There is a parallel drawn to Bloodborne with this, because you’re encouraged to play more offensively and aggressively. It’s an intriguing way to implement a risk/reward system that will motivate players to get out there and engage with the enemies, while providing a safety net for newcomers to utilize. It’s unclear how many kills a player will have to get to resurrect, but the inclusion is unique, nonetheless.
