Very hard game for me
Never finished.
No surprise when its from creators of Dark Souls.
When you get the gist of it it becomes super easy

on my third playthrough going for the shura ending I never died to any kind of boss/mini boss except for the last boss. >Emma + Isshin
Also just a couple of stupid deaths due to fall damage whatnot. This is also with the demon bell equipped.
You can remove the kuro's charm in your NG+ onward playthroughs to add chip damage (you get hurt when you block & not being able to parry), which is what I'm gonna do next time. (no kuro's charm+ demon bell)
Cas from fextralife did some insane runs when the game was released, like no parry/block run(no LB) & no hit run(no RB) except for deathblow etc. There are so many people trying many more crazy runs in these games which are super fun in their own way if you are into that type of shit
