    Despite my dismay, give the game a chance if possible it has several positives like a very creative boss design, a nice art direction and a decent story I see nioh as the beginning of a promising series that is worth knowing and waiting for a sequence that can improve even more    … Expand

I completed all the main and side missions (except the twilight missions and post-game content).

    Nioh is a souls-like that is really difficult and challenging. The learning curve is steep but the feeling of satisfaction after you beat a tough boss is huge ! The game is super fun and engaging. The combat system is really deep and the ki system is a really nice implementation. Nioh has a lot of content. It is not a short game by any means. I think an experienced gamer in the soul-like genre may complete this game in the 50-60 hours range but for me, as a pretty average skilled gamer, I needed more than 100 hours which is fine for me because I enjoyed most of my time with Nioh

    However, after a certain point in the game, I felt exhausted and I needed to take a break. For 10 days, I switched to another game (Shadow of the Tomb Raider) which I completed easily. While I was playing the other game, I was already missing Nioh's super fun combat system. After, I continued my journey in Nioh really fresh and I spent a big part of my Christmas holidays completing the remaining missions until I beated the final boss yesterday after a few tries. So, in terms of pacing, it's possible that you find the game too intense (a lot of boss, some difficult side missions). The level design can be quite average and repetitive also...

    Nioh is a game that made me felt I was in a love & hate relationship with someone with a lot of passion. In 2022, that was the game I've felt the more engaged and passioned about even though that was not my game of the year    … Expand

    It's not Dark Souls, but it's the best soulslike game on the market together with Nioh 2.
    It took me a lot of time to get hooked to it, the first 3 times I tried I left it there.

Most boss fights are basically doable in a few tries at least if you have levels and gear set right but some are just utterly stupid. You can many of them easier by using magic and ninjutsu skills but seriously, games that have so small dodge/block/parry windows that display lag can f up your experience are just not good for me. And character development is just putting points in obvious places and gathering obvious gear to mach.
    BUT this and nioh 2 has its own audience so I'd encourage you to try and see for yourself if it's for you. If you like Bloodborne, Darksouls and such you might like this also. I just refuse to give good review to what's mediocre stuff to me.    … Expand

    Good game, it does enough to different itself from souls series. The only problem for me is that is way way harder then what it should be. Endgame it becomes easier as you make good builds, but the early game is a nightmare. I took 4 hours in the first main missions and only got the third boss with coop help.

Plenty of ninja skills like bombs, poisons, smoke bombs, shurikens, kunais, ninja scrolls which make you invisible, etc. Also you can use magic like elemental projectiles as fireballs, magic that cripple your enemies, attack with elemental damage, etc. And last but not least you have a Guardian Spirit that provides you with some special attacks, status and use it as a Living Weapon that improve your combat skills for a limited time. The possiblities are almost endless and they are overwhelming at first, but if you persevere you will learn the game mechanics and

    Runs at 60 fps, very smooth, the combat is very fast, you will need to use your reflexes a lot to avoid your enemies and to connect your attacks and that is a difference from other action rpgs like Diablo where you only click and click. In this game you have to think very fast prepare very well for battles, need to be very prudent (this is my best advice).

    The set of the game is great and very original. Your character, William is an european samurai who fights japanese demons, so you will invest a lot of time fighting in temples, japanese villages, caves, etc.

    The only negative aspect of the game is that it recycles some elements and makes it a little bit repetitive. For example, you can fight the first boss Onryoki several times in different missions...I have fought with the guy like 4-5 times in different missions.

    NIOH is a great game, I have spent about 60 hrs and the game is worth every penny invested because is very addictive and the combat is complex and very spectacular.

    The similarities to Dark Souls are immediate from the outset with the player having to kill enemies to collect amrati (souls) in order to level up, dying results in restarting from the last shrine (bonfire) whereby you’ll have one chance to collect the amrati before it is lost. It’s also a difficult game, and death can come quickly even at the hands of standard enemies should you make a mistake.

    The combat itself is, if anything, actually an improvement on Dark Souls with various stances, weapons and attacks to choose from. What Nioh doesn’t have however is Dark Souls labyrinth like worlds that make exploration enjoyable even when you’re many hours in. Instead Nioh plays almost like a loot based dungeon crawler with players selecting from various 30-60 minutes missions that often reward you with an overwhelming number of new items on top of the amrati for levelling up. With so few enemy types, and many missions playing out in very similar fashion this does all start to become repetitive after a while, and with a run time of at least 70 hours it simply goes on way too long.    … Expand

    There's a lot of Darksidephill's in this review section. Even a dude complain about bosses being impossible to kill without glitches? Bro check youtube and see people do them all Level 1 Naked legit.

    The only thing bad with this game is the uninspired locations and the absolute trash music it has.

    Other than that, it's flawless. And the best thing is, it only gets better in the sequel.

For a newcomer, the difficulty rating is "off the chart", as I REALLY struggled with the first level. If you're new to this kind of game, you have to throw away everything you know about gaming - "not getting hit" becomes your new goal in life. Healing is very limited and savepoints are few and far between - with even minor enemies doing huge amounts of damage to you. With this in mind, I can understand anyone who gets frustrated and gives up - maybe even writing a bad review of the game.

    If you can get by the extreme learning curve, you'll find a masterpiece of a game. You can learn what enemies do, and can predict their behaviour (though fighting groups of enemies is never advisable!). Boss fights are, pretty much, all unique and are all difficult in their own way. If you go into boss fights "blind", it's always a challenge to win without at least one death! Still, as mentioned, that's how you learn!

    The graphics are dark and forboding, but do look good throughout. The story is decent, though not overly gripping - I doubt you'll end up caring too much about the main character, throughout. Voice acting is done well enough, though nothing exceptional to report here. Game performance was great, I experienced no performance issues and no bugs worth mentioning.

    Overall, this starts as a frustrating game which evolves into a truly amazing experience, if you stick with it!    … Expand

There is no getting good here, just getting better stats to raise your chances of victory, dodging the same repetitive ennemy attacks over and over. At some point, you get bored, you lose focus, you get hit twice and you die. You then repawn at a shrine. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Well, think again, because when you die, you lose ALL of the EXP you gained. You have to spend it at the shrines to raise 1 stat at a time by ONE. Die before you spend your exp, lose it. So, it could have redeemed itself by being a cool grinding game in which you see your character getting stronger and stronger, but it fails at that too. Really, there's nothing here.

Although I have a lot to b*tch about it I really liked Nioh experience and already put the second game in my queue.

    Even though this is Dark Souls set in an Onimusha-esque world, Nioh differs in some key aspects. First of all: stats don’t really mean much in the long run, most people tell you to put every stat at level 20 first and then you specialize your build since the weapon scaling is not very strong. The caveat is to prioritize the stats required for the type of armor you’ll be using since Nioh is all about armor.

    Each piece of equipment has some random perks. Let’s say you’re using the Brawler Armor Helmet with a “Toughness +2” perk, you kill an enemy that drops the same equipment however his is 4 levels higher and comes with “Omnyo Magic +10,7% (for the Fire Shot Talisman)” and “Damage against electrified enemies +5,3%”; this happens constantly and by the end of each level it’s mandatory to go through your equipment list and sort what to keep and what not because there is a limit. I f*cking hate this mechanic! Leave this sh*t for Diablo or something! The looting is way too much; is not uncommon for a regular enemy to drop 4 or 5 items and 90% of them are pure garbage! Oh and for the effects used as examples: I’m not making those up, this is how specific they are; needless to say most of them are useless, just keep an eye for the more general damage buffs.

    Imagine equating all those perks (midgame gear can have 6 perks per piece alone) for 5 pieces of armor plus the 2 melee weapons and the 2 ranged, the Spirit buffs and the useless statuses (I don’t know wtf is Tenacity and I couldn’t care less)… it makes up for a deranged math game. The only sane thing to do is ignore everything except the chosen few effects that matter, namely Close Combat increase.

    It sure is a mouthful and getting your ass kicked left and right surely doesn’t help. The beginning of the game is freaking insanely hard, bosses are absolute sponges and 4 out of the first 6 have a one shot kill move (Nue’s lighting storm OHKs… so much fun!). You’ll bang your head against the wall until you reach Region 2 and gain easy access to breaking the game with the Bonus Set Armors. These armors gain passive boosts most of the good ones give you flat out 20% attack boost for 4 pieces equipped; so it’s a no brainer! There is absolutely no reason to wear a non-bonus set armor, throw 90% of game’s equipment in the trash right away. Warriors of the West is prominent in Region 2, giving you f*cking 25% close combat damage increase for the full set; you can easily use it to beat the game only shifting the pieces to the higher leveled ones you end up looting along the way.

    Nioh revamped the Bloodstain mechanic from Souls (AKA let’s see how this idiot died) letting you summon the dude to fight him as an NPC, succeeding yearn the chance for looting his equipment and since everybody and their grandma is using the aforementioned Warriors you’ll easily complete the set. The game also shoots itself in the foot by favoring the most popular playstyle, you’re more likely to fight Katana phantoms than Axe ones for example. Katana is heavily favored offline too since most bonus sets and special weapons are for Katanas.

    With Bonus Set Armors by my side and better understanding of the Guardians the game becomes a breeze and I defeated most bosses first try. I had little to no trouble until the final boss but it never felt like I became a helluva lot better as a player (as it happens in Dark Souls) but rather I was proper geared.

    The repetitive nature of the game doesn’t help either. There are only 22 different enemies in a 40-50 hours long game for NG alone. Yes, tongued Yokai was hard but after dealing with him 50 times I kind know his tells. Most sub-missions happen in a section of a main mission map; maps used solely for sub-quests are reused further on in other sub-missions even though you are in another geographic region. The game is repetitive. Period.

    After b*tching this much I must say: I loved the game. The flow of the combat with the amazing Stance Change mechanic that cleverly synergizes with the Stamina Recovery move is fantastic! Weapons have different skills for purchase, there are only five yes (plus 2 more types in the DLC) but they feel very different and there is a lot of thought with each one. You can make a mage ranged build specialized in Omnyo Magic, a Glock build (guns and bows are powerful af) or the lackluster Ninja one. There is even the journalist mode abusing the Sloth Talisman but we don’t talk about that; “I pLaY GaMeS fOr tHe sToRy” players item only.

    What really seals the deal is the atmosphere. The graphics are so beautiful and so colored playing through most main levels is a joy. Despite its problems Nioh is way worth it for soulslike aficionados.    … Expand

I beat the majority of the game solely with combat and struggled despite having strong weapons, armor, and levels. The three tough bosses (Hino-Enma, Yuki-Onna, and Shima Sakon) seemed to go against everything the game teaches the player about combat - though, later, when I actually learned about talismans, like the Sloth talismans, later game bosses that initially gave me similar levels of frustration became jokes.

    Así, tal cual el titulo.

    Los combates son excelentes: los ataques y defensas, el esquivar, el "bailar" con tu oponente. El sistema de posiciones no es solo funcional, sino fantástico y le da una variedad al combate, al tener que decidir con cuál posición es conveniente atacar a cada enemigo en específico.
    El clásico sistema de stamina (Ki) está bien implementado, además de que la recuperación del mismo usando R1 en el momento indicado es un buen toque. Además, la gran cantidad de ítems, y objetos utilizables dan aun más complejidad.

    En Nioh, la asignación de botones se siente más perfecta de lo que había experimentado en mucho tiempo. Es muy orgánico. El control se siente espectacular y hace que cada batalla se convierta e una delicia de jugabilidad.

    Las batallas contra espectros le dan un buen sabor al gameplay, y terminan por volverse adictivas para probar las mejoras de nuestro personaje.

    El esquema de las sub misiones está también bien implementado y, contrario a lo que podría parecer, no se siente repetitivo en ningún momento.
    La reutilización de los Boss no me molesta puesto que ocurre únicamente en las sub misiones y misiones crepúsculo. Así que es totalmente opcional: una especia de New Game+ adelantado.

    Como puntos negativos tenemos que la AI aveces es un poco torpe, y que el manejo del inventario es un poco caótico. Pero nada que no podamos tolerar.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Nioh no pretende sorprender por su hiperrealismo sino por su gran diseño artístico visual. Los escenarios, cinemáticas y personajes son piezas que encajan perfectamente una con otra.

    Eso sí: la falta de mayor detalle gráfico me resultó especialmente molesta tratándose del agua, ya que cuesta un poco de trabajo verificar su profundidad para saber si podemos o no caminar por la costa (esto en misiones muy específicas, pero hay que mencionarlo) Y hay algunas áreas con una visibilidad reducida por culpa de un mal trabajo en zonas de niebla.
    Por tanto, tenemos algunos escenarios muy buenos y otros mas bien regulares.

    La narrativa es... extraña. Por llamarla de cierta forma. Honestamente, la trama no me ha quedado nada clara.

    SONIDO:
    Probablemente su apartado más descuidado.
    Si bien, la música que suena al enfrentarnos a los temidos Jefes es épica, aquella presente en los niveles es todo lo contrario.

    Los efectos de sonido están bien, así como las voces.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    El juego toma prestado elementos de otras franquicias, pero su sistema de combate es tan increíble y bien realizado que no queda duda de que es la piedra angular de Nioh. Ninguno de los juegos con que Nioh ha sido comparado tiene un sistema ten pulido, adictivo y sólido.    … Expand

    After taking my time to learn the systems (not the combat but pretty much everything else) I've learnt to absolutely love Nioh.
    It is part Darks Souls, part Bloodborne but moreso its own beast.
    The combat is smooth and rewarding, the loot/grind works well when you understand it.
    Nioh is difficult but a hell of a lot of fun, and neigh on impossible to fault

    I love this game. I scored it when I finished it a 9 and now that I've finally played the DLCs, I'm upping the score to 10.

    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.

    No início fiquei com receio porque achei que era mais um jogo tentando copiar o Demon's Souls, porém quando fui jogá-lo, percebi que é muito bom quanto, achei incrível e amei o visual, super recomendo para quem gosta do estilo.

    Dark souls + Diablo + ? = Profit ?
    For me this game is very boring, tons of loot but everything is pretty much the same
    combat system is nothing special

    Tons of fun when it lasts. I'm glad i gave this game a second chance, first time i tried I got wrecked but a year later i got good and gave it a another try. Combat is very engaging and challenging but it's fair. It got to the point where I rarely died getting through a level until I got to the boss for a nice challenge.

    Map design could've been better, I understand they want to test people's ability to fight in small spaces and on ledges but it can get very frustrating dying because you fell in water or off a cliff especially after you killed the enemy in your way.

    However it got really boring by the third region(for me at least) the enemies stayed the same, their attack patterns never changed. They just set you up against the mutiple enemies to make it a bit more challenging but not interesting.    … Expand

    The game is fun in the beginning despite the ass kicking you are gonna get. But the longer you play the less enjoyable the experience become.

    The game feels cheap with it's incredible burst damage. Depending on your setup you will die in 1 to 3 hits. It feels like you are fighting Samurai wielding swords while you wield a wet noodle. Game is repetitive in its level design and reuses enemies and areas for side content. When I quit I was 30 levels behind the main scenario difficulty level making the game incredibly grindy as well.

    It's overwhelming to figure out what is good and what is bad in this game. And it feels hopeless to keep your gear up to speed.    … Expand

    The dumbest game ever. Im stuck with last enemy on the map and its impossible to kill him, instant attacks, bugged counters, kills you in max 2 hits. Basicly all the bosses ive killed i had to use bugs and glitches - no, its not a matter of a game lvl but idiots who made them impossible to kill by tactic, tracking moves, coordinated attacks or whatever just bugs, bugs and glitches.

    História bastante forçada, personagens zero cativantes, jogabilidade podre, inimigos repetitivos, alguns chefes são tão bugados que é justamente isso que deixa o jogo complicado. A sensação que fica quando se morre é a de que o jogo é bugado e a jogabilidade pessima, ao contrario de jogos da saga Souls onde o jogador sabe o erro que cometeu em alguma ação.

    Для удобства разделю мнение на разделы.

    1) Геймплей: Глубокий, быстрый, разнообразный. Те, кто критикуют механику ки-пульс и ки-флакс, просто не смогли её освоить, эта механика делает игру ещё динамичнее и позволяет хардкорным игрокам выделывать ещё более крутые финты(а не бегать и ждать регенерации стамины...)

    1) Геймплей:
    Глубокий, быстрый, разнообразный. Те, кто критикуют механику ки-пульс и ки-флакс, просто не смогли её освоить, эта механика делает игру ещё динамичнее и позволяет хардкорным игрокам выделывать ещё более крутые финты(а не бегать и ждать регенерации стамины...) В соулс серию не играл, но играл в бладборн(без длц) и точно могу сказать, что игра сложнее, но глубокая боевая система и отзывчивое управление(в следствии очень низкого инпут лага за счёт наличия 60 фпс) дают вам возможность задействовать максимум своих возможностей и получать от боев максимум удовольствия. Если вы умерли, то вы умерли не потому что не отзывчивое управление, не потому что вас ограничивают медленные анимации и уж точно не потому что фреймрейт просел, а потому что вы что-то сделали не так.
    Также в игре система лута из дьяблы. 2)Дизайн окружения и атмосфера:
    Тут игра, как по мне, сильно проигрывает последним играм от From Software.
    Помимо всего прочего, у фромов локации связаны в один ветвистый мир, а здесь просто отдельные локации, хоть внутри этих локаций и есть шорткаты, скрытые пути и т.п. Ещё напрягает то, что в Нио почти все локации очень тёмные, если ваш телевизор/монитор повернут к окну, вы вряд-ли сможете нормально поиграть при дневном свете. 3)Графика:
    Я играю на стандартной ПС4 и хоть играть с 60 фпс очень приятно, но разрешение 720р(динамическое) иногда мозолит глаза, это если вы играете в "Экшн решиме", если же вы играете в "режиме фильма" мозолить глаза вам будет куда менее отзывчивое управление из-за инпут лага(видно, что игра делалась под 60фпс, как и все остальные игры от Team Ninja), а также полное отсутствие моушн блюра, которое и призвано делать 30 фпс более плавными для глаза, обидно то, что порт для ПК получил моушн блюр...
    Возвращаясь к "Экшн режиму" ещё сильнее смущает количество игр, которые на стандартной ps4 выдают 60 фпс при нативном 1080р ну или хотя бы 900р(динамическом), тот же МГС 5(а ведь там открытый мир), все игры от капком(дмс и резиденты) ремастеры старых эксклюзивов сони, а также практически все шутеры от первого лица.

    4)Сюжет:
    Он тут максимально японский, порой даже слишком. Даже "брифинг" перед заданиями выполнен в стиле японских игр вроде серии "Dynasty Warriors". Для меня непривычно, но удовольствия от игры не портит.

    5)Звук/саундтрек:
    Ниже среднего, ничего особо не запомнилось, иногда один трек повторяется при сражении с разными боссами и это прям вообще не очень.

    Вердикт:
    Играть очень приятно, глубина и отзывчивость боевой системы, а также её разнообразность, вызывают зависимость и забываешь обо всех недостатках игры.
    Рекомендую фанатам соулс игр и слэшеров, а также фанатам темы самураев и ниндзя.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason I'm giving this game a 7/10 and not a 8-9/10 is because it relays on 1 hit kills to make it difficult. And the end game missions are insane unless you do way of the strong (ng+) before even attempting them. That or you absolutely die 500 times t memorieze all the the combos the bosses do, since the end game missions are full of 2v1 boss fights.… Expand

    The small, scattered levels live in the shadows of the Souls/Bloodborne worlds. Otherwise, Nioh matches - and occasionally surpasses - FromSoftware's genre giants. [Apr 2017, p.77]

    After a series of letdowns Team Ninja returns to form it displayed with Ninja Gaiden Black. Nioh is a variation on the Souls series, and although it is not as intriguing story wise, its gameplay is much more enjoyable. [04/2017, p.46]
