Echoes of Yi: Samsara is a low-budget action game with a surprisingly strong foundation in its combat system and level design, but it’s held back by frustrating mechanics, technical issues, and some uneven difficulty spikes.

23 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
The game absolutely kills it at building your mechanics specially if you want to play Sekiro: Samsara is the entrance and Sekiro the main dish.

For a game like this, the design works very well and I do like the environments as well as the overall feel of the game from a graphics standpoint.
