History YMMV / SekiroShadowsDieTwice

** Great Serpent is one of most terfying bosses, where you have to hide from it most of the time and is dangerues to fight hesd on with it's size.

** Many a theory that one of many potential weapons for the prosthetic arm will be the Moonlight Greatsword due to the weapon being a Fromsoftware staple since at least ''Videogame/KingsField''.
** Another is that Patches will return under a different name, potentially under a loose Japanese translation, due to Miyazaki being the director once again.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some people are put off by the fact that the game does not use the “Soulsborne” formula that put [=FromSoftware=] on the map. Others argue that after five games Soulsbornes in a row, From has every right to try something new. And despite the changed gameplay, the game borrows a ''lot'' from Soulsborne in visuals, atmosphere, and even the mechanics.

Others argue that; after making 5 games in that style, From has every right to try something new. And there's also the fact it's still uses a ''very'' large amount of features from said series.

** ''Sekiro''[='s=] lack of character customization and RPG elements has turned off some players more accustomed to the ''Souls'' experience.

** The Corrupted Monk, a bizarre, extremely tall nun in a jeering oni mask. She has unsettling, flowing movements, she cackles constantly, and she can cover her arena in a fog and kill you from any angle with shadow clones.

** Seeing Sekiro's arm being cut clean off by the rival, while brief, is a little '''too''' realistic for its own good.
** The Corrupted Monk. Just everything about ''her''. Her jeering Oni Mask (which is stuck in a perpetual grin), her weird, unsettling movements, and how she can quickly kill you in ''seconds'' with her Naginta if you aren't careful. She get's even worse in her second phase, we're she unleashes a miasma of darkness in her boss arena, and begins to make shadowy clones of herself, striking anywhere and everywhere
** In the TGS trailer, Sekiro draws his sword...which begins ''leaking'' a red miasma of mist from it's blade, implying it's nature as an EvilWeapon.
** In the same trailer, you can see it only briefly, but Sekiro is struggling against a white, demonic ''[[KillerGorilla giant Mandrill]]'' in some kind of hidden grotto; the abomination flailing around, right before it lets out an ear piercing scream.

** A lot of fans became very apprehensive when it was revealed that Activision would be publishing the game, given Activision's reputation as a big AAA publisher that [[ExecutiveMeddling meddles with games]] and pushes for [[BribingYourWayToVictory aggressive monetization]], despite Fromsoft's insistence that whatever comes after the title screen is their decision, and theirs alone.
** On a smaller note, a lot of people were somewhat upset that Sekiro would lack character customization, and the downplaying of other RPG mechanics. On the other hand, gameplay footage did show quite a bit to look forward to.

* AwesomeArt: From what we've seen, the game is very much living up to the precedent set by previous games, with Feudal Japan looking stunning thanks to its artistic design.
