Me too. Played on Story mode which was specifically implemented at the request of Maelle’s English voice actress.
But I just started a new playthrough on Expert. I’m curious how far I come before going down to Expeditioner. Maelle’s already whooped my ass a few times.
I’ve been playing through on Expert from the start, and it’s been challenging but super fun. I’ve died a lot, but I much prefer that to JRPGs where you can just power through most normal enemies, and if you accidentally grind a bit more than you’re supposed to, then even the bosses become trivial.
If you don’t memorize attack patterns and get dodge/parry timing right, you are going to die. A lot. Also, a lot more strategy involved in selecting Pictos and abilities.
But Sekiro is one of my favorite games of all time, so memorizing attack patterns and timing parries is my bread and butter.
I love that game but absolutely suck at timing dodges/counters. Almost every fight I restart because I forget or screw up the enemy patterns.
Still having a blast
