What's everyone's verdict on Nioh?

[AyyyLmao]

There isn't much talk on this forum about this game. What's everyone's opinion?

I've been playing it for a while, and I actually think it might be better than any FromSoftware game that's not DS1. The combat is definitely better, in my mind. The only thing that kinda bothers me about it is the self-insert cac protagonist in a Japanese samurai game. That shyt is lame af, just make the MC Asian

The combat is better thats about it.

I hate how the loot system is and they didn’t fix it for part 2. I find it kind of blonde story/lore wise. I bought both of them and i always have fun for the first 10-12 hours and get burnt out or bored afterward

Fun but very long. Due to being so long , it starts to get tedious.
i couldnt finish it , maybe ill hop back in on the PS5 is the loading improves.

Played the first one earlier this year, but didn’t finish it. Combat was the highlight for me as well. Like what was already said, game is long, and the lack of variety in enemies and levels makes the game feel more tedious as it goes on. I pretty much got burned out trying to do everything and lost interest in finishing it.

I did get Nioh 2 for a gift afterwards and played that for a lil. Unfortunately, it looked like more of the same and even reused enemies from the first one which was a disappointment. Still like the series overall and will pick the second one back up a lil later.

Still prefer the FromSoftware games.

Downloaded it on ps plus. I liked it but couldn't get pass the first boss so I dropped it.

It's technically better than any Souls game combat wise. But graphically/artistically not as desirable, and often too long. Also the mission structure is less interesting, people like the big interconnected map of DS and it's not there in Nioh.

Good game but people generally like it less than Soulsborne games

Nioh 2 is one of my favorite games this year

 

[Don Mack]

Beat both games and if you can beat Nioh you can pretty much beat any game.

 

[RoidJonesJr]

I got the platinum for the first game and I'm pretty sure I'm on the last region for Nioh 2.

Combat is fast and fun. Pretty addicting.

IDK about that one, breh. I've been beating Nioh so far without too much trouble, but Sekiro kicked my ass so bad that I stopped playing . The boss who gave me the most trouble in Nioh was Hino-enma. She killed me like 22 times straight.

Don't remember anything about the story of the first one, but I had a lot of fun with it. Never beat it due to backlog mismanagement.
Never played part 2.

 

[TBdaGhost]

Part 2 is a top 3 Souls game for me.

 

[Torenko]

Nioh 2 is my GOTY so far. Didn't like how it was more of the same, so I did get burnt out on it kinda fast around release, but got back into it a few months ago and been going iiin on the endgame shyt.

Nioh 2 probably has the best combat out of all the Soulslike Genre giving me Ninja Gaiden vibes.

But it lacks the artistic design, polish, level design, and style of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, or Sekiro..

Still I haven’t had as much fun playing a game since MHW though.
