Nioh 2 - PlayStation 4

The game arrived on time, the packaged was sealed perfectly, the game plays 100% ok but the problem is that the gameplay is just out of my playing abilities! I have attempted to re-play the game story line from the beginning, go through the dojo's helpful training tutorials, but I can't seem to get past the same part where I need to use a Yoki spell in the beginning. I am not throwing the game away, selling the game, but I am puting it back on the shelf. PS - This game was a complete blind buy so not really that disappointed, I am just looking to get into a Samurai video game....thats all
