Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is FromSoftware's action-adventure game set in feudal Japan. Players control Wolf, a one-armed shinobi trying to rescue his lord. Unlike other FromSoftware games, Sekiro focuses on breaking enemy posture through precise parrying rather than leveling up stats, deflecting an opponent's attacks to open them up for a lethal shinobi deathblow is at the heart of the game. With prosthetic arm tools and a vertical grappling hook system, it delivers faster, more acrobatic combat than anything else in the studio's catalog.

In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice recommends 12 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
