Very good, but also very hard. If you haven’t played a soulslike or a game focused on parrying before it may be worth trying something simpler first to make sure you enjoy the genre. The story is fine, but the main focus is on the gameplay.

Are there any in particular that you (or anyone else reading this) would recommend? Specifically for parrying, that is. I’ve played a couple soulslike games and I did love them. Bloodborne and Mortal Shell were both fantastic, but in both cases I learned how to dodge really well rather than parry.
Tbh if you’ve played multiple souls games I’d just go with Sekiro at that point, though Nioh 1 is ime probably the closest. Worth noting that “parrying” in Sekiro is more similar to the blocking in other souls titles than the parrying, in that if you don’t get the perfect timing, you still just do a normal souls block IE you lose stamina and take chip damage.
Nine Sols. Great parry focused combat inspired by Sekiro and a great story too. If you beat Bloodborne you should be fine with Sekiro unless you end up hating parrying.

Death’s Gambit Afterlife is a 2d platformer soulslike and probably the closest i’ve found to my ideal parry game, although it’s quite short
Nine Sols is also pretty good but i haven’t put as much time into it
