    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 51 saatin sonunda bitti. Soulslike türünün güzel bir örneği olsa da bazı eksiklikleri ve kötü yanları yok değil. Atmosferi souls oyunları kadar çekici ve gergin değil.

    Bölüm tasarımları bence fena değil. Diğer souls oyunları kadar karmaşık, grift ve üzerine düşünülmüş olmasa da dümdüz koridor oyunu değil sonuçta.

    Oyunun bu kadar loot odaklı olması bir yerden sonra baydı. Ölen her düşmandan gerekl gereksiz bir şey düşüyor. Daha az ve daha önemli şeyler düşse, envanter düzenleme ameleliği son bulurmuş.

    İlk kez bir oyunda çift kılıçla oynadım, çok souls oyunu oynayınca artık değişik şeyler deniyorum. Oyun silah çeşitliliği bakımından zengin. Duruşlar da düşmana göre değiştirmeniz gereken şeyler. Ben orta duruşta oynadım.

    Skill sistemi biraz farklı. Perk üzerinden ilerliyor. Fena bulmadım. Oynanışı değiştiren yetenekler var.

    Boss savaşları gayet keyifli ve yeteri kadar zorlayıcı. Özellikle sonlarda iyice boku çıkıyor. Baykuş beni zorlasa da asıl isyan ettiren lady osakabe oldu. Yarı cheese'leyerek geçtim.

    Oyunun en büyük kusuru süresi. "İlk oyuna göre düşman çeşitliliği gayet iyiymiş" dediğim noktada meğer oyunun daha yarısındaymışım. Sonra hep aynı düşmanlar, daha sık yerleştirilmiş şekilde karşıma çıktı. Oyun üzerinize düşman boca ediyor, bence bir soulslike'a göre biraz fazla.

    Sonlara doğru, ilk oyundaki karakterimizle de savaşıyoruz ki o da oldukça eğlenceliydi.

    Son çeyrekte boss'ların da tekrar etmeye başlaması iyice canımı sıktı. Ama yine de boss savaşlarının epey keyifli ve çeşitli olduğunu söylemem gerek.

    Düşmanların kırmızı ataklarına karşı yapılan counter attack ilk oyuna göre derinlik katan bir yenilik olmuş. Yapımcılar aynı sitemi sonra Wo Long'da da kullandılar. Bu oyunda ilk başta alışamasam da bazı boss'ların bu hareket kullanılmaksızın geçilemeyecek olması nedeniyle mecburen öğrendim.

    Bir diğer yenilik yokai formu. Bu formun da 3 çeşidi var. Ben boss savaşları dışında kullanmadım. Özellikle iki tarafında canı azaldığında hayat kurtarıcı oluyor.

    Bir diğer yenilik de ruh çekirdekleri. Özel düşmanlardan düşen bu çekirdekler sayesinde çok güçlü ve fantastik skiller kullanabiliyorsunuz. Bir nevi düşmanların yeteneklerini ediniyorsunuz. Oldukça işe yarıyorlar.    … Expand

    If you like soulslike games, then you are at home. But if you don't like them that much, this won't change your mind.

    This game is full of tough satisfying combat trials and situations. The combat system here is the real highlight especially when paired with the extremely strong enemy designs that really squeeze all of the juice out of this thing. That being said, the diablo loot system is tiresome/tedious and the game is overly long with too many repetitive levels and encounters.

    As in the first part of a lot of unnecessary mechanics that just get in the way of playing. The developers are still not shown the computer. I think for Team Ninja PC is some kind of myth. Why was it necessary to complicate the game with a bunch of unnecessary mechanics is unclear.
    Only because of the good character editor I played about 15h, but more I could not endure.

    A really good game. I've played the game late enough that the pc port didn't bother me, since they've fixed it by now.
    The combat flows really well and the game is fairly hard, though not impossible. I really like the stamina regaining mechanic, and there are lots of other items and weapons to experiment with.

    Some areas really require you to do a full exploration instead of just running through the place, like the third area which has you fight the final boss under harder circumstances if you haven't done destroyed statues in various locations of the area.
    Speaking of the area, it's probably one of my gripes about the game. There are lots of re-uses of old map - even when you don't consider the times when you go back to an area due to some submission.
    The mission/quest system is incredibly bland but I understand why the game developers added it into the game.
    The story though is utterly wack and I LOVE it, some things fly over my head, cause I'm not from Japan, but it's just really fun, even though it doesn't make any sense.
    Overall, a lot of things could be better, but a fun game.    … Expand

    his game is great! And for the people complaining, it's not really meant for keyboard and mouse, it's a controller game, similar to darksouls and NieR. Runs so much better on my PC compared to the PS4 and is honestly just super fun. 10/10 would recommend if you like difficult games.

    TL;DR: The bosses can do everything, you can do almost nothing. Boss fight means: wait 20 seconds until you can place the next hit in order to do 0,001% damage to the boss. 90% of the boss moves are so fast you can't even react to them. Very cheap and lazy.

    I have played DS1, DS2, DS3, Nioh, Sekiro and some other Soulslikes.

    Nioh 2 could be a good game, but with the difficulty they went too far this time. They have increased the health pools of enemies, even normal enemies are now performing lightning fast attacks that 1 or 2-shot you. For me, it has come to the point where it is not fun anymore. Running 20 times to some miniboss only to be 2-shot by his lightning fast attack, yeah...great! The game is extremely cheap.

    They say that there is the burst counter and the Yokai attacks now. Hahaha! Ridiculous. The burst counter has a reaction window of milliseconds, so you mess it up 70% of the times. Dodging is safer. And the Yokai attacks, you can do 1 or 2 and then your Anmia is used up. So, in most cases useless.

    However, the game is fun but you must be aware that it is a lot harder and more frustrating than Nioh 1.

    Pros
    -------
    - they improved the level design, there is more variety and levels are more creative
    - graphics are slightly better
    - good combat system
    - menus have become better
    - excellent, funny cutscenes
    - better variety of monsters and attacks

    Cons
    -------
    - Insane difficulty spikes
    - Graphics still not on par with other 2020 games (graphics are improved but still look outdated)
    - Overall story is mediocre
    - Generic side missions
    - Reused levels from Nioh 1 (!!!!)
    - Reused bosses
    - Convoluted loot system
    - Sometimes keystrokes not registering, annoying in boss fights were you have exactly 1 second to heal    … Expand

    What I liked: Interesting story, with cool details of Mythology... Tea cups with stats & your own house are interesting... Parry of a red-strong attacks is cool... Adding a new boob's-monsters is cool :) ...Bosses in general are varied and interesting, for me, even human... The combat system is still good and juicy... Adding a blue graves with helpers was a great idea... Auto-refill of your spirit at bosses - great, it was annoying to get it in a new "run" every time... Interesting new and slightly modified old monsters in DLC. Interesting story that give us a real end to whole story... And a new system of soul cores and Yokai skills. You can make a thousands of different builds with them.
    ...
    What I didn't like: The story extremely poor given through short scenes and towels of text... The same locations(The creators wanted to spit on criticism of the players for this hack with a constant return to the same places a hundred times.)... I hate Tengu, Yoki with kusarigama & Magatsu(Fu*g mixers), Especially in small rooms and on narrow corners. It was extremely mean towards players non-samurai from birth... Even if you level 50 you make 3 hits to a weakest skeleton OR at your level you need to make 15-20 sword hits - they kill you in 2-3. Perfect balance... Kodama market & rice are complete useless(I absolutely don’t understand for what, if everything is renewed at the altar)... What was in the head of the man that make a protagonist to start missions with RARE CRAFTABLE! bullets, arrows and cannonballs!? I had all the time to change and sometimes used it mistakenly... Sleeping monster sometimes wake up, sometimes they don't when you approach them(Not a damn thing is clear when and why its triggering)... Grabbing from the void(the monsters time to time can grab you from the air even if he missed you)... Shoot with a canon in one - the neighbors will be deaf and blind even in two steps away, if the target was behind them... Castle-boss shoots through his own hands... It is not clear at all in terms of the some parameters and their description(for example of AA++ and so on. Better in %)... Loot is still almost garbage on 70%... Searching for objects on the map is interesting, but things are complete garbage... Awful uncomfortable skill system. It would be better to leave the scrolls, and not to copy from PoE... Overexposures, light halos, slightly torn-eyed details(It's definetly not a level of 2021)... The fact that the game has become more difficult is normal, but from time to time there are places where the difficulty is increased somehow completely inadequate. Either due to the frenzy of the enemy, or due to the fact that many strong ones are being thrown at once. And with a Dark World included.
    ...
    And now the cherry on the damn cake. The most disgusting thing that pissed me off at the beginning of the game. I was forced to use that because of the obscene appeal to the players: I will not touch the console controls - there are no complaints here, but if you are porting game to a PC, then do it damn well, and not through the "back seat". And the most disgusting thing is that in the 1st part it was possible to separate the jump and dodge moves, but in the 2nd part it was no longer. For PC players who do not play with a gamepad, it is a mockery to call this porting in full. IMHO if you like. I had to leave the shift button empty and for a long time pressed it automatically and for a long time getting used to running and dodging on one space bar.
    ...
    A lot of unpleasant and repulsive moments for me completely block smaller number of big pluses. I decided to give the game the maximum yellow rating.    … Expand

    A real cool action game but, unfortunately, with some little issues in this PC porting.
    If it wasn't for these issues, the game would literally represent the best possible evolution of the first Nioh.

    Much like Nioh 1, I enjoyed Nioh 2. The combat is nice and challenging but not completely unforgivable. I wish the world/levels were more connected instead of completely separate, and side missions are just re-hashes, but that can be overlooked.

    Date Completed: 2021-06-29
    Playtime: 60h
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Recommendation: Played Nioh 1? You know what to expect. Souls-like fan? It's worth playing.

    After hundreds of hours put into Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition, I can honestly say this is one of the greatest games this generation. It’s fun, it’s hard, it has tons of lore, flexibility in how you play….you name it. At times, I feel elated in cutting through the incredible variety of enemies, and others, I feel like I’m just beating my head against a wall on just one, singular boss.After hundreds of hours put into Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition, I can honestly say this is one of the greatest games this generation.

At times, I feel elated in cutting through the incredible variety of enemies, and others, I feel like I’m just beating my head against a wall on just one, singular boss. It certainly keeps you on your toes.

    I’ll keep this short. There is a lot to master. Simply button mashing here will only get you so far. You’ll need to master the combat, combos, crafting, skill trees, and so much more to squeeze out the potential in your playable character. You’ll need to, because the enemies and bosses are relentless, and you’ll often feel like you have barely any room to breathe. That’s a good thing, because you’ll need to strategize, time your attacks, and improve your reflexes if you want to make it through this. My one complaint boils down to performance issues and graphical hiccups. Some areas will have your framerates drop, and pop-ups are common; so to the graphics aficionado, this may be a concern.

    Here is the bottom line. Get it. It’s good. I’ve put some 200+ hours into this, and I still have NG+ to dig my teeth in to. I’m not someone who typically replays the NG+, but for those who do, there is more than enough incentive to drop another couple of hundreds of hours in the replay. Awesome game!    … Expand

    Nioh 2 is not a bad game by any means, I think it is just a style of game that I have grew out of. I’m 35 now, I’m married, have a full-time job, and really don’t have the time to master this game’s many mechanics. That’s not to say it isn’t still overwhelming to me to see all these options here. It most certainly was and for another person, particularly someone who likes this style of game, they will be in heaven. That being said, even I can say this is a must play for people that want a big game with some challenging combat and all the bells and whistles that come with the genre, and this PC version runs and looks just as good as one would expect.

    The sequel is mostly an expanded and improved Nioh, with more complex combat mechanics and new challenges for the veterans, yet it's surprisingly accessible to casual players. Yet it fails to correct past mistakes, and you would be hard pressed to see any transformative changes in the game’s formula.
