    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.

    Nioh was fun but got boring 20+ hours into it. The game feels too long, would be more fun if you could play with your friends without completing the mission first.

    Good combat system for the most part, but a bit convoluted. Boss battles are tedious wars of attrition where you attempt to hit them 12,000 times while they kill you in 1-2 hits.

    I feel that this game was a bit overhyped. Generally it's good and many people may find it enjoyable but for me it was boring. I didn't like it's level design and linearity. At the beginning it didn't bother me that much, but finally made me abandon the game. I also feel that difficulty level is unbalanced and there's no atmosphere at all. Uncommon opinion, but it's not that great.

    First of all this game is really well made. But its just way too challenging for me. I think for most gamers to. And absolutely think carefully before buying this game because while it may look amazing and amazing combat system its just way too frustrating to play amd i have no idea how some gamers manage to beat this game. I recommend this game just as a rental first

    Es macht wirklich Spaß, mit vielen ungewöhnlichen Mechaniken und hat ein großartiges Setting. Der Kampf ist sehr ungeeignet für 2 gegen 1, was zum Glück größtenteils für das Nachspiel übrig bleibt.

Ma con il proseguire dell'avventura, se si impara a capire il sistema di avanzamento del gioco e gestionale del equipaggiamento, il gameplay diventerà sempre più facile. Per me è stato un ottimo battesimo del fuoco che poi mi ha portato a divorare Dark Souls1 qualche mese dopo, e sicuramente anche uno dei giochi più frustranti mai giocati. Ma lo adoro proprio perchè è un gioco molto teso e difficile a modo suo.… Expand

    This game is gonna hit for some and miss for others. I really like the stance system with different specialties, as well as the ki pulse system as a quick stamina recovery and a way to combat zones made by yokai. From there its standard Soulsborne fare in mechanics and whatnot. Beyond that it's very Diablo-esque with its need for number crunching and grinding for loot.

    One of them 'git gud' games. Unlike a lot of souls games, it's nice to look at. Exciting and challenging gameplay. Weird having a white guy as a protagonist in feudal(?) Japan.

    The critics score is somehow higher than the sequel, but I think if this game was 88 Nioh 2 is like 93 and most people would agree that the sequel is better than the original. Both amazing games though.

    Nioh was my first "Souls-like" game, and it had me hooked very early. For a newcomer, the difficulty rating is "off the chart", as I REALLY struggled with the first level.

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

    First of all, this is a Dark Souls rip-off. It takes the core mechanics, but adds a new combat system.

    That's the good. The bad is that the game is super repettitve. 99% of enemies you fight are either: soldiers (with 1 of 10 weapons), zombies (1 type), demons (8 types). That's it.

This could be fine if the game were 10 hours long, but it is 80 hours with 28 main missions and almost a hunderd side missions. All are linear.

    And if you try skipping the side missions, you'll end up like me - 100 levels down by the end (from recommended level 250). It's a grind fest and not worth is unless you really love playing Dark Souls.    … 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.
