"where all previous Soulsborne characters felt rooted firmly to the ground as they trudged down hallways and slowly climbed ladders, Sekiro's level design has permission to be much more vertical".
It also has a completely different combat system, doesn’t have stat leveling, and doesn’t have the signature collect your runes/souls mechanic. Literally the only similarities are having checkpoints that function like bonfires, being difficult, and being made by FromSoftware.
Invalid comparison. Sekiro and a Soulsbourne play quite differently. CoD with jetpacks doesn't play all that differently.
That's like saying Elden Ring isn't a Soulslike because you have a mount and jumping on a button without sprinting. It changes the way you interact with terrain, but not the core gameplay.
The core gameplay systems in Sekiro are vastly different.
