Game Wars 1: Elden Ring vs Sekiro

Is Bloodborne or Sekiro harder?

There's no universal answer, as it depends on player preference for combat styles; many find Sekiro harder initially due to its strict posture/deflection system and lack of build variety, demanding perfect reflexes, while others find Bloodborne harder because of its aggressive bosses, unforgiving dodge mechanics, and reliance on positioning and stats, with its chalice dungeons often cited as extremely difficult. Sekiro forces mastery of its unique rhythm, while Bloodborne offers more ways to overcome challenges (leveling, summoning) but punishes mistakes harshly, especially in its challenging DLC.
