Do people just not know what underrated means or does no one care?
Why isn’t this popular game from a popular studio even more popular?

Ah yes, my favourite underrated game. TGA’s 2019 game of the year and 10 million units sold Sekiro.
It’s hard to know if I underrate it when I wasn’t able to finish it (or, honestly, make it even halfway through). I liked what I played, but I’m clumsy and slow. In Dark Souls this is usually forgivable as long as you learn to choose the right option; in Sekiro you must execute and I never got good enough.
From’s games that were released after Dark Souls can’t be considered underrated, aside from Armored Core 5 and Verdict day. Everything else has sold over a million copies and was released to high praise. Sekiro is absolutely not underrated.
I’ve come to realize that I like the idea of Dark Souls and other FromSoft games, they have interesting stories and worlds.
But dear god for the life of me I can’t get into them. I bought Elden Ring thinking I would find it more forgiving than Dark Souls. Nope. I got Sekiro thinking that I could just practice and git gud. Nope, the game actively punishes you for dying too many times.
And I know there are ways to counteract the Dragon Curse/Rot, but imo it’s too far into the story (when I can’t even get past the flashback portion in the burning castle) to make it worthwhile for me to play.
Note that the flashback portion ~is actually the game’s DLC, and~ can be tackled at any point.
Its difficulty is higher than the area you’re at in the main game, when you first unlock it.
Edit: See below comments, I was wrong: it isn’t DLC.
It’s not DLC (though you can do it whenever you want).
The dragon rot doesn’t actually matter. You get less dialogue but it doesn’t really affect your ability to finish the game.
You can also clear all the bosses, then cure the dragon rot, and go talk to everyone with little risk.
It feels like a bigger problem than it is.
That’s not what underrated means
That’s not Chromehounds
It literally won game of the year when it came out. How does that make it underrated?
