Unpopular opinion: a lot of games have an artificial massive skill cliff right at the game's climax that ruins the mood.
Some people collect platinum trophies and call it done, I hit about 99% and call it done. We are not the same.
Edit: Example - Dark Souls. I flew through the game with a bastard sword, medium rolling and smashing everything in my path. Can't beat Gwyn because I never learned to parry. Yeah, I need to get gud, but that's hardly a sane skill progression, even for Dark Souls.
I've played all the souls games, bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden ring (and love them all), and I'm complete ass at parrying. Aside from Sekiro where you have to, I never really learned. I've just beaten every single game by dodging or blocking.
Point taken. Guess I should dust off my save and give it a go. Thank you. :)
blocking
Oh no, we don't do that here.
Lol, it's more of a desperation move when there's some attack that I just can't figure out how to avoid.
