  1. The masses of loot initially seem like the biggest difference between this and a From Software game, and could kid you into thinking Nioh is a game about raising stats above all else, but it’s not. That’s a small part of it. Really, it’s a game about raising your own level and mastering one of the finest combat systems ever put on a screen. It might be standing on the shoulders of Souls, but it’s got its eyes on a very different destination. [RPS Recommended]

    The PC version of Nioh is the very definition of functional. It works well enough that you can enjoy your time with it, but it’s unremarkable everywhere that matters.

Not really a fan of open world, maybe that is one of the main reason why I am loving Nioh more than Dark Souls.

    Have been quite some time not sleeping late, until Nioh for PC is launched. Since then, have been playing late into the night.

    Love the loot and equipment system, and the of course its fighting style. Although I am already in my 40s, playing this game reminds me how fast my reaction can still be. Boss design are great, although I die a lot, but they were designed to sort of motivate you to keep progressing and learning more about them.

    Giving 9 out of 10. No game is perfect. This is still one of my best game ever played.

    The game is great, everything you would expect from a dark souls clone but even better in terms of speed and preciseness.
    The only flaw the games has it's the locked fps on PC. Otherwise the game runs great without any issues. C**ts be happy we have a PS4 exclusive on PC and you are criticizing just because it cannot be played with mouse and keyboard? Idiots!!!!
