Like I said, it's a great game. But it feels like half a final fantasy game. It's quite stripped down, I assume in an effort to appeal to wider audience, and as a result it's greatly simplified. Side quests are simplified, on-screen quest markers make it that we don't need to think about where to go next, weapons are a case of "the new one is stronger than the previous one", elemental weaknesses are almost completely omitted, there are absolutely no logic puzzles, the bestiary is incomplete, we can only control and outfit a single character... Still a great game though.

No, this is the part where I tell you that you don't need to be the target audience for everything. If you don't think this scene is funny, then don't romance the shapeshifter.

You're not supposed to be into sex with animals: this is comedy, not erotica.

And as a parent, you should he paying attention to age ratings. There's a reason mature games are rated mature.

@CieloAzure I find souls games much easier than the Ninja Gaiden series. I think they have a reputation for being harder than they are, because we players like bragging about our mad skillz. But if you take advantage of the online play in souls games, they become much easier.

And this is why I fail miserably at Sekiro...

I think the difficulty in the game is meant to encourage cooperative play. Souls games are crazy punishing when playing solo, but the difficulty drops dramatically when you have a couple of real humans helping you out.

Edit: difficult games are also a lesson in emotional control and frustration management. Every failure is an opportunity to learn.
