newbie here, any tips for first timers.

I've come here off the back of Elden ring and read that the combat is more rewarding and suited in this franchise. The games downloading while I'm at work and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in.

*Thank you for all the tips and advice. I'm 30 minutes in and absolutely loving it (so far). I'm enjoying the fighting mechanics and managed to get to the first escape tunnel without dying, feels rewarding parrying off the bat.

I love how it reminds me of tenchu from the ps1 felt like a kid playing that again. The enemies are relentless and ive noticed if you're seen, you ARE seen which I like that there's no 'huh what was that' (that I've encountered yet)
