Very good, but also very hard. If you haven't played a soulslike or a game focused on parrying before it may be worth trying something simpler first to make sure you enjoy the genre. The story is fine, but the main focus is on the gameplay.

Are there any in particular that you (or anyone else reading this) would recommend? Specifically for parrying, that is. I've played a couple soulslike games and I did love them. Bloodborne and Mortal Shell were both fantastic, but in both cases I learned how to dodge really well rather than parry.

Nine Sols. Great parry focused combat inspired by Sekiro and a great story too. If you beat Bloodborne you should be fine with Sekiro unless you end up hating parrying.
