Not only can you jump, but you can also attack and defend yourself while airborne. Aerial attacks are a great way to counter sweeping enemies, and dropping down on unsuspecting foes is the easiest way to get a stealth kill.

Sekiro's environments are littered with grappling points you can take advantage of for stealth kill setups or to make an escape. It is in your best interest to study the field before you run in sword first, as a grapple point can make things easier.

Clashing swords in a field of silver grass is about as iconic as you can get, and Sekiro kicks off the game with a rival duel in just such a place. It's intense and beautiful, and the game makes sure to end the fight with a bang.

The Shinobi prosthetic can be fitted with tools and weapons to give you a fighting edge. The Firecracker is a blinding display that doesn't do much damage, but interrupts and stuns enemies caught in the flash.

Thrust attacks cannot be normally blocked; you can only parry them at the last second, or evade them by default. However, you can unlock a special counter that deflects thrust attacks.

Sekiro is the first From Software game since 2009's Ninja Blade to feature prominent jumping. Sekiro can leap over attacks, clear pitfalls, and of course, grapple across chasms with his handy grappling tool.
