Sad to say it's a hard no on this game. Save your money. It is mid to good with a lot of areas where it is excellent but equally those areas are brought down by many terrible aspects. Just two example, exploration at a large scale is brilliant but immeadiate exploration is dogshit and the cor combat and systems are amazing for this type of Souls but none of them work together, the game wants to be Dark Souls, WuKong and now Sekiro and none of them work together and often don't work independently either. Like the first boss difficulty wall (which is not a Genichiro moment but an awkward side step into what feels like a different game) where the game funnels you into a styles of play close to Sekiro, you can technically play any weapon you want and they all counter the boss but there is a massive disconnect, it feels like the systems don't gel and it all feels like it's held together with ticky tack. It just feels poorly designed. That said, the game has a strong pull and despite these flaws it has some claws. I'll probably continue on but it's more Stockholm syndrome than enjoyment.
