Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes top spot in the UK all format physical sales chart in its debut week. Sales monitor Chart-Track says the top of the chart was `close` this week, as From Software`s new game forces last week`s No.1, The Division 2, down to No.2 for the week ending March 23.Elsewhere the chart is full of familiar faces. FIFA 19 finishes at No.3, while Rockstar`s huge open-world games Grand Theft Auto V (No.4) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (No.5) round out the top five. Battlefield V re-enters the top 40 at No.18, likely boosted by the impending launch of its battle royale mode, Firestorm. Aside from Sekiro, no brand-new titles enter the chart this week.Sekiro has also enjoyed a strong critical reception, including a 9/10 in GameSpot`s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice review-in-progress. `Sekiro marries From Software`s unique brand of gameplay with stealth action to deliver an experience that is as challenging as it is gratifying,` wrote Tamoor Hussain.You can read the full top 10 sales chart for this week below, courtesy of UKIE and GfK Chart-Track.
