    Соус, который упарывается в билдинг и гринд шмота на 80 часов при подробном прохождении основной сюжетки и DLC.

    Из минусов: - крайне не подходит новичкам, которые только знакомятся с жанром 'Соус Лайк' - продвижение слишком завязано на статах и шмотках персонажа, при кривом бильде велик шанс на дроп прохождения. - игра вне 'сети' усложняет прохождение, делая DLC и последующий контент    Соус, который упарывается в билдинг и гринд шмота на 80 часов при подробном прохождении основной сюжетки и DLC.

    Из минусов:
    - крайне не подходит новичкам, которые только знакомятся с жанром 'Соус Лайк' - продвижение слишком завязано на статах и шмотках персонажа, при кривом бильде велик шанс на дроп прохождения.
    - игра вне 'сети' усложняет прохождение, делая DLC и последующий контент практически непроходимыми, так как прогрессия персонажа завязана на гринде шмоток путем убийства "трупов" других игроков.
    - невозможность pve с "трупами" игроков после выполнения цели миссии.
    - обратная сторона игры, при подробном прохождение и годном билдинге игра становится слишком легкой, боссы проходятся в редких исключениях с 2-3 попыток, вызов могут дать только парные боссы или боссы из DLC, и то едва ли (за всю игру ни разу окончательно не терял "души").
    - система 'слияния' в основной игре практически бесполезна и по большому счету юзается лишь во вред обворовывая игрока.
    - плохо проработанная экономика для основной части игры, миллионы монет просто некуда тратить (разве что сливать на антипрофитное 'слияние').
    - душные и весьма посредственные в лвл дизайне локи, кишкообразные улочки с закрученными ответвлениями, которые будто бы и созданы шоб растянуть прохождение миссии на подольше.

    Из плюсов:
    - геймплей достойный любого Дарк Соуса, игра тот же кайфовый слешер.
    - тонна контента и весомая продолжительность, в игре можно упороться на несколько месяцев и это только при прохождении одним билдом.
    - огромная вариативность прохождения в билдинге, выбора оружия, снаряжения.
    - реиграбильность, после прохождения игра предлагает повышение уровня сложности пытаясь давать новые челеджи и развивать лутовую часть контента.
    - удобный менеджмент шмота (хотя вначале прохождения можно и ахуеть, если не разобраться).
    - в игре есть сюжет, ОГО!
    - прикольный дизайн боссов и всяких мифических Ёкай тварей.
    - годный японский сеттинг и всякие исторические персонажи в комплекте.

Souls oyunları, özellikle de Bloodborne, aynı zamanda korku oyunlarıdır. Bir düşmanı ilk kez görüyorsan, nasıl saldıracağı, ne kadar hasar vuracağı, karakterin görünüşü vesaire insanı gerer. Bunda bu o kadar da yoktu. Öte yandan bölgelerin görünüşleri de neredeyse hep aynıydı. Bu da atmosferin statik, bir yerden sonra da yavan olmasına neden olmuş. Oysa souls oyunların da bölgeler sürekli değişir.

    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.

    Balta ile oynadım ama başka seçenekler de var. Oyun bu anlamda zengin. Duruşlar da düşmana göre değiştirmeniz gereken şeyler. Ben orta duruşta, yani savunma ağırlık oynadım genelde.

    Boss savaşları gayet keyifli ve yeteri kadar zorlayıcı. Dark Souls 1 ve 2 hariç her souls oyununda 4 saat geçemediğim boss olurdu. Nioh'ta 1 saati bulan olsa da o seviyede zor olan yoktu.

    Oyun yine souls oyunlarına nazaran hikayesini daha açık anlatıyor. Ne olup bittiğinin farkındasınız.

    Neticede gayet keyif alarak oynadığım, çok coşturmasa da keyifli vakit geçirten bir oyun olmuş.    … Expand

    Like other people in the reviews i have played all 3 dark souls, and I got to admit Nioh takes the sous combat system to a whole new level. Sure, story wise is basically a "b action movie" but that's not the point of the game which is btw filled with pretty accurate historical references. The point is fighting, finding your style and mastering it.

    People is complaining about keyboard support.... get over it just buy a controller (a logitech F310 is just about 25 euros and is a capable, sturdy and cheap gamepad), I don't get why someone wants to play an action game of this genre with keyboard and mouse.
    If I got to find a flaw in this game, I would say that is its repetitiveness. Too many pointless ng+, I would prefer a game that encourages you to create a new character more than endlessly grind for just one.    … Expand

Combat system is second to none. Team Ninja took the Dark Souls stamina system and added a combo system where you can regain your stamina by switching your stances and weapons and using different move sets. So the system encourages you to learn your entire move set and how to string together combos using different weapons. You have three stances which each have several attacks, so you have exponentially more options in combat than in the soulsborne formula.
    On top of the melee system (which you use "samurai points" to level), you have "ninjutsu" points (throwing weapons, traps, other tricks), and "onmyo" points (magic). There is also a "guardian spirit" system, which is kind of like a spirit animal that follows you around. As you kill enemies, your spirit gauge builds up which lets you enter into a "super" mode when full. So in addition to the samurai, ninjitsu, and onmyo options, you can build a character around having strong guardian spirit as well.
    There is also a diablo-like loot mechanic, which I think is one of the few negatives of the game. It's just a bit of chore to have to clear out your inventory after every mission. But on the plus side, finding a rare weapon of a type that you haven't tried yet encourages you to keep trying new things. The system works overall, I just feel like there's a little too much loot.
    BUT - once you reach the end-game and start getting divine weapons to refine your character build, the loot system turns around again and becomes very rewarding as you try to craft a perfect set for your build. It's just a sham to have to slog through it all as it just gets tiresome after awhile to have to constantly sell piles of useless items.
    This can all be a bit overwhelming, but overall if you stick with the game and learn its systems it is very rewarding. The New Game + modes are also fantastic, as they change enemy placement and other subtle changes that is much more than just dialing up enemy health and damage. You are really required to start dialing in a build and thinking about your goals for what you want your character to do in order to succeed as the challenges ramp up. Much like the classic Team Ninja game Ninja Gaiden: Black, the game just gets better the deeper you go. If you have patience enough to play through the game a few times on the NG+ difficulties, the game offers a rich and rewarding combat experience that few action RPGs can match.    … Expand

    Nioh is an Action game with light RPG elements such as stats and perks that you gain leveling up.
    In Nioh you play as William an irish pirate on a quest for revenge that took him to Japan during the war of Sekihagara (1600). The setting isn't historical though because you'll fight a lot of demons that i doubt were in japan during 1600.

    The port is quite good. It runs on 30 fps smooth even on my computer that has a gpu below the minimun recomendations for it. It also supports mouse and keyboard finally (you'll have to rebinds a lot of keys probably to play decently).

    The gameplay is demanding thanks to the ki-pulse mechanic where you have to quickly tap a button to regain stamina and you gain more if you are precise. Playing without getting the grasps of this feature will lead to many many deaths because you'll often run out of energy leaving your enemies an opening for a finisher move that deals a ton of damage.
    There are also stances for weapons where you can choose if you prefer fast strikes that deal low damage or slow strikes that deals a ton of damage or an intermediate stance for all around purpouses. But Nioh isn't by any mean a very hard game. You'll get many offensive and defensive options to deal with each encounter, such as the living weapon that is a mode in which you cannot take any damage and you deal more damage but it lasts only for a few secons and you have to kill stuff to recharge it.

    The whole game is divided in missions and regions, so it isn't an open world, but you can replay every mission you already finished if you want to. You are encouraged to do that to farm for better equipment or just because you cant help anyone in missions you haven't already finished.
    Bossfights are mostly good and different from one another and enemy variety is quite good although i've read many complaints about it. Yes, you'll mostly fight normal soldiers and demons but:
    1)If you count different weapons that they can use there are a lot of combinations
    2)there are many enemies that are more rare scattered in the various missions to fight.

    The level design is also quite good.
    Story missions are long with maps that often loops around themselvs with shortcuts and secrets to find. Almost every area has a unique mechanic to quickly learn to progress such as: Rolling boulders to avoid, poison to get rid of, walls to blow up with explosives and so on. That helps with the fact that are few different areas in the sub-missions and are mostly reused areas from story missions with different enemies/checkpoint placement.
    Sub-mission are still good. Often short so you can easily end one in 15 minutes if you want just to play a bit and then go on.

    There is a loot system in which every weapon has a random set of perks and rarity but you can reroll perks you don't like or just upgrade the level of a unique weapon if you want to.
    So you aren't tied that much to rng to get good equipment since you can just reroll the perks you want or just make a new high level weapon with gold that you get during missions/selling old weapons.

    Also: This game isn't like dark souls. Don't expect that.
    The combat system is much more complex, the open world style is gone, there is a story told by cutscenes and dialogues and so on. The only mechanic shared with the souls saga is that when you die you lose amrita (Exp) that you can regain going back to your dead body (or using a rare item)

    I've played for around 53 to complete every mission in the base game and i have yet to do all the 3 dlc and the NG+ mode.
    Overall this game is great. Not too much of a challenge maybe (except some big spikes here and there) but very enjoyable. I'd recomend it.    … Expand

    If you're lucky enough to not have been plagued with port issues, then you'll find Nioh: Complete Edition to be a wonderfully difficult action game. Though it brings along a high level of difficulty that seems to be en vogue for recent action games, its emphasis on faster action makes it a perfect complement for the competition. Similarly, the loot drops are a great addition, and the oddball story makes the game feel more distinct. It would've been nice to see more PC-specific optimization, but Nioh is worth checking out for fans of difficult action games.
