    Отличная игра!
    Из плюсов для себя выделил:
    - быстрая динамика боя; - гибкая система прокачки; - больной спектр выбора оружия; - способность играть в ко-оп с другом без весомых заморочек (речь о колокольчиках из BB); Те кто сомневается в проекте и не решается брать, я вас понимаю, был из этого лагеря, но в итоге увлекло и затянуло, советую дать ей шанс вашему скептичному взгляду.

    Great Game like the first one! There are some new mechanics but not that many so for me maybe there is some room for improvement. Didn't like the menu map. But its a solid successor

    Absolutely gorgeous game. A perfect sequel - improves everything gameplay wise from a previos Nioh and adds even more mechanics like yokai abilities, more armor and weapons variety, enemies etc. The only flaw it has is PS4 performance - but that's more of a Sony fault, not Team Ninja. Picture is just too ugly on base PS4 compared to Pro. I really hope stupid Sony won't blueball us likeAbsolutely gorgeous game.

    Just too much going on, I really enjoyed Nioh as my favourite Souls-like game outside of the Soulsborne series. Really suffers from feature bloat to the point the core game mechanics are much less fun.

    If you liked Nioh 1, and DS series you probably gonna like this too. I think I liked Nioh 1 better. This monkey main character is just soooo f*ckin irritating, a real misarebla piece of sh*t from the start. Not to mention after he gets some power.

Also I would say the theme that you transform into a half-omni is a bit off-puting too. But all in all. They give us several new weapons and enemy types (along with the old ones) so you can continue enjoy fighting as Nioh. (which is great)… Expand

    The game has too many competing systems that serve to make the game less fun. It devolves at it's lowest level to "hit r1 to clean up monster poop". Unfortunately, nothing really saves it from that.

    I platted Nioh2 and love it. It's a bit of a niche game but the gameplay is so good and rewarding. The co-op works perfect and it's so fun to run around with 2 randoms. I just love it, what a game.

    This game is more like Nioh 1.5. It seems like developers kept what worked in Nioh 1, fixed some issues like unfair bosses, introduced some new ideas like burst counter and character design.

I think there are too many good ideas in both Nioh games: 2D art, 3D cutscenes, tea utensils, clan wars, reputation titles, a rich variety of weapons, complex upgrade trees for every weapon type, different stances, kodama locations and lots more... This is a very deep and complex game. I wish it was a bit less simple game like Sekiro because adding too many good ideas doesn't always add up to a perfect game. Another issue with this game is graphic resolution (I played it in Pro). I understand that they didn't want to sacrifice from frame rates but the resolution is like at least 5 years behind the competition. Other than if you are fan of Souls games or liked Nioh 1 you will certainly love this game. In some compartments Nioh games are even better than Souls games and Nioh 2 is the best Nioh game.… Expand

    I love this game. Amazing experience, the setting, story, graphics and gameplay are all amazing! I would have given this a 10 if it had done more to differentiate itself from its predecessor. That said, I'll keep buying iterations of this game, as long as Sony is making them.

    I enjoyed this more than Dark Souls, please don't hate me guys.

    I just couldn’t get into this game. They kind of throw you into the deep end and there is minimal direction for why you’re doing things. Overall just too complicated.

    So I played Nioh 1 to death, platinum trophy and all. Did all the DLC. So just wanted to let that be known. I’d prob give part 1 a 9.5 - close to perfect, but a boring story has to affect the score.

The yokai abilities were an awesome addition but besides that, it just felt more of the same. The combat obviously didn’t need to change much, but a lot of the enemies seemed just like rehashes of old ones. I still enjoyed it, but on my 2nd play through it felt more like a chore. I was just gunning for the platinum trophy and wanted to get it out of the way. Regardless, still worth playing.    … Expand

    Awesome game! Enjoyed it more that actual dark souls or sekiro, I liked the fact that you can use any weapons without your stats affecting that, enjoyed every boss fight, can't remembered one that I didn't like.

    It's a solid Soulsbourne game with looter aspects that could keep you playing. It allows for many different builds, but none of them feel like they are overpowered. I like to feel rewarded by power for spending hours and hours in an RPG. I just don't get that feeling here. But its still a good RPG.

    Das Spiel wurde eindrucksvoll kaputt genervt. Alles was man mit Nioh 1 aufgebaut hat, machte man mit Nioh 2 zu nichte. Den Enera nerv habe ich ja noch hingenommen obwohl ich von 18.000 K Schaden auf 500 K gesenkt wurde. Nur dieses Mal mache ich mit meiner Waffe auch noch deutlich weniger Schaden.

    The second Nioh is more than just a continuation of the legacy. The authors have been able to learn from the mistakes of the first game, and thanks to that this is an excellent action RPG that will not let you rest and you will want to keep playing. [Issue#303]

    I love a great third-person actioner, and I’m hard-pressed to think of one that nails the formula as perfectly as Nioh 2 does. The systems are pleasantly crunchy and there are a ton to dig into, the moment-to-moment fights get my blood pumping, and the artwork and theming are all spot-on. Too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing, but Nioh 2 is exactly the right amount.

    Nioh 2 does what a good sequel should. It capitalizes on the best parts of its predecessors while providing new content and mechanics to advance the franchise. While the story structure and level design are largely the same, added weapons, more build depth, and new combat mechanics all enhance what the game has to offer. It doesn't always hit the mark perfectly, but it's a solid addition to the series. And let's face it, being a samurai is awesome.
