    In the current dark age of gaming, during the reign of soulless Ubisoft-like open world tower-capture simulators... This game is a shining ray of hope! A masterpiece! Something actually worth your time and cash! Love it! Embrace it! Accept the challenge!

    Not only is it visually remarkable, but the game is technically sound. Despite the size of the maps and the different AI it needs to generate, load times are practically nonexistent even on a base PlayStation 4 - something I’m sure Souls fans will take notice of. I found myself getting surprised at how quickly I was able to launch right back into a game between levels or deaths.

    Don't let the difficulty stop you from enjoying this gem because Nioh does what Dark Souls and Bloodborne don't.

Collecting Amirita replaces souls/blood echoes but the basics are the same: collect this currency by winning battles, use them to level up a stat. Die and lose all you're carrying with one chance to get to the death spot and reclaim what was lost. It very easily fits into the "Souls" experience even if made by a different developer.

    Nioh is a beautiful take on a well worn formula.

    I've played nearly every soulslike game for hundreds of hours each and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by Nioh.

I thought it would be a hard sell because of the limited weapon selection and all the armor is Japanese lore/samurai inspired and that's not really my thing. However Nioh proved that even without a graphics style/setting that resonates with me, a game can be enjoyable just through the expression of how it is played.

    Nioh is so much fun to play, the game is full of huge combo trees you can unlock for weapons, tons of guardian spirits to collect which give different bonuses. There is high, middle, and low stance for every weapon which produces a different move-set and combat style affecting how your character moves significantly. Switching stances on the fly and reacting perfectly to whatever you are fighting is incredibly satisfying, and although it is not expressly necessary, it lets you play with as much or as little complexity as you feel like.

    Despite the fact that Japanese lore and samurai armor don't stand out to me at all, Nioh has managed to make it stand out through brilliant combat mechanics, high impact effects and animations and a uniquely told story. On top of it all I love the soundtrack, the first time I heard the boss music in the Warrior of the West's fight was intense.

    Slicing up a horned demon into 20 pieces couldn't be more satisfying. If you have a ps4 and like action focused games you would be absolutely stupid not to pick this up.    … Expand

I constantly found myself wanting new gear and doing what I could to improve the stats on my current set.

    Visually the set pieces are fantastically detailed yet some of the stages were a tad too dark. The camera angle was also irritating at times, often not adjusting properly or positioning itself in poor spots hampering combat at times.

    While I like loot based games, Nioh kind of went overboard. You get too much of it too quickly and too much variety making the crafting and fusing systems almost redundant for most of the first playthrough. Only in NG+ does it calm down to more manageable frequency.

    Combat is allot of fun and gets better once you find the weapon you like the most (personally, I like the lance the most.) However it can get a bit repetitive oce you have a high level character with all skills unlocked. Spamming strong combos can become a thing. Also to note that unlike the Souls games, this game is not difficult, in fact it can be too easy allot of the time. What this game does is punishes carelessness and reckless behaviour. If you don't pay attention to what's going on and your environment you will die. But keep your eyes open and be careful, and the game will be a breeze.

    Overall:
    Nioh is a worthy competitor to the Souls, but still needs a bit more polish in some areas to be what it could be. I hope Nioh 2 learns and improves on this.    … Expand
