FromSoftware&#8217;s newest IP is both beautiful and fury inducing &#8211; and gamers wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way.  <\/p>\n<p>So, as I slowly digest this latest work of art, dying more frequently than I&#8217;d have the patience to in other titles, I thought I&#8217;d share some quick snapshots from the opening hours.  Spoilers, of course, but there&#8217;s nothing too specific that hasn&#8217;t been seen yet.  Enjoy &#8211; I probably won&#8217;t be beating this game anytime soon!  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322104952.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322104952-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3222\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322114938.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322114938-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3223\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322115026.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322115026-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322120437.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322120437-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322132711.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190322132711-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3226\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190325092053.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sekiro&#x2122;_-Shadows-Die-Twice_20190325092053-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3227\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I do think that Bloodborne is one of the most remarkable games ever made, I am by no means a Soulsborne fan.
