Sekiro, a game widely regarded as having difficult but satisfying deflection combat, starts at a much more generous 15 frames before tightening the window through repeated use.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I got 100% on the highest difficulty and I have to say that I get the frustration from some of the people who complain about the later boss fights.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

The boss fights are generally very good, with only a few being a bit forgettable (mostly minibosses anyway), and the overall character progression is really well done.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
67 of 265 sampled reviews raised it
But yeah, a charming game with a commendable large map, good power creep, a lot of nooks to dig out, decent equipment "customizing" (although it is just the one core weapon with 4 charm slots), fun worldbuilding & lore, endearing characters, and a story with just enough meat on the bones to keep the forward momentum.
Graphics

Visuals - The hand brushed artstyle is very pleasing to the eye.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 265 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is simple but beautiful, and maintains atmosphere throughout the entirety of the game.
