WAIT the checkpoint system in this game is the same as dark souls? meaning i can easily lose 30 minutes of progress? I hope not as i will not buy the game if thats the case

I never found this to be a problem with any dark souls game,if you learn how mobs are placed you can easely run through an area to the boss in a few minutes and items you find you do not lose .

is this a confirmation sekiro has the same system in place?
