    Nioh 2 feels like an overly difficult rom hack of Dark Souls. They tried to iterate on the formula, but instead made encounters extremely frustrating and leveling/gearing up to be pointless.

You will never kill even the easiest enemy with a three-hit combo. They will always be scaled and your stats are thus pointless. Encounters try too hard to be frustrating. Multiple archers, spotlights, fast melee enemies, massive elite enemies all bombarding you at once. Often it feels like it just wants you to lose instead of just trying to challenge you. It's all the worst parts of Dark Souls with none of the surreal, minimalist story or gameplay perfection.    … Expand

    Although it is more of the same in design and scenery, the gameplay has become more complex.
    Seems to be a bit more difficult, which is why I recommend playing this one after you take a break from the first one. I love it but I couldn't jump into it after the first one. It's a masterclass in gameplay, bloodborne seems a joke after playing Nioh.

Between the fantastic character customization and all of the different weapons and spells you can use, you can feel like whatever kind of badass Japanese-fantasy warrior you want to be. And right when you're on top of your badass samurai/ninja power trip, Nioh will find a way to absolutely humble you all over again. I've beaten the main campaign on the main difficulty already and now just play it on the harder difficulty whenever I want to get lost in this absolutely beautiful fantasy all over again.

    If the Nioh series ever continues I hope they keep the brilliant customization and combat of this game and perhaps incorporate a more lively and modern open world design.    … Expand

Во-первых, количество вариантов настройки может заставить вашу голову закружиться, но приложив усилия к оснащению лучшим снаряжением и улучшению правильных элементов в соответствии с вашим стилем игры, вы получите одно исключительно полезное и персонализированное приключение по охоте на демонов. Одна вещь, которую я не совсем понимал, прежде чем играть эти ремастированные издания спина к спине, — это то, насколько сложнее Nioh 2. В первом Nioh я могу бегать по этапам, рубя врагов, как будто они лук, но в этом даже самый обычный враг может закончить вашу жизнь в одно мгновение. Кроме того, на самом деле это довольно страшно, когда человеческие враги временно высвобождают своего внутреннего демона только для того, чтобы развернуть какую-то разрушительную атаку.

    The only thing is that the world is not like Dark Souls and things are split by missions, so it kind of hurts the world design, but the mission level design is interesting and full of treasure and things to find.    … Expand

    Nioh ¿2?

    JUGABILIDAD: El punto más importante en Nioh fue su jugabilidad.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    El punto más importante en Nioh fue su jugabilidad. Indiscutiblemente una de las mejores experiencias Control-Jugador de la generación anterior, Nioh 2 mantiene esa jugabilidad pero haciendo uso de varios añadidos: en esta secuela tendremos un mayor número de armas, la posibilidad de usar contraataques, la ayuda de ciertas habilidades Yokai además de la ya conocida ayuda de "Guardianes."

    Todo suena como un buen lavado de cara pero tiene una desventaja gigantesca: la dificultad disminuye considerablemente.
    Y no es que el juego en sí sea mas sencillo (de hecho los escenarios me parecieron mas confusos y menos disfrutables), sino que los enemigos no representan gran problema, a menos que vengan en forma de horda. ¿Y los jefes? Podemos ganarles al primer intento... cosa que ni me hubiera podido imaginar en Nioh.

    Otro ejemplo de lo anterior es que al recuperar a nuestro guardián en el área de un jefe, previo perder contra él, podremos activarlo automáticamente. Lo cual por supuesto no ocurría en el primero.
    Y eso más los 2 apoyos Yokai, más los contraataques... y ni hablar de las habilidades de “recuperación de tumba” que tienen algunos equipos, las tumbas benevolentes, y el hecho de que nada más empezar el juego ya es muy común encontrar armas “muy raras” o con habilidades especiales.

    Nioh 2 añade mucho. Demasiado.
    Y aun así...no cambia.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Si bien, luce mejor que la primera entrega, tampoco tiene el propósito de resaltar en este apartado. Las mejoras en Playstation 5 se resumen a cambios en la iluminación que, aunque mínimos, mejoran el apartado visual.

    El creador de personaje no es muy profundo, pero sin duda se disfruta y agradece.

    SONIDO:
    Es, nuevamente, el apartado más débil del título de desarrollador. Sin embargo sí mejora respecto a la entrega anterior, los efectos extras que escuchamos por medio del DualSense le agregan ese sutil efecto 3D que tanto agrada.

    La música de ciertos niveles es de buena calidad, pero en muchos otros se queda corta. Sin mencionar las muchas áreas donde ni siquiera contamos con un apartado musical.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Desde su lanzamiento este título generó críticas al ser considerada una evolución mínima respecto a su predecesor.
    Está claro que no innova demasiado, e incluso los añadidos que ya mencioné pueden parecer pocos para algunos jugadores, pero mi opinión es que son suficientes para que quienes disfrutamos del primer juego podamos disfrutar de este casi por igual... al principio.

    Y es que no podemos ignorar que los desarrolladores han reciclado enemigos, moveset y animaciones del juego anterior. Y eso es imperdonable, después de jugar mas de 100 horas de Nioh, el jugar Nioh 2 no se siente mas que una expansión creada para bajar la dificultad de su predecesor

    La saga Nioh tiene mucho que ofrecer, pero también mucho que mejorar. En lo personal, lo recomendaría especialmente a aquellos que no jugaron el primer titulo.

It is one of the worst progressions ive felt in a video game in my life. Absolutely unbelievable. This is the most insultingly bad attempt at "difficulty" I have ever seen. Die in one hit no matter what = "balancing" lol learn how to design a game before designing one? Maybe? Its literally one of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Which is a shame, cus the combat is pretty decent with its cool combo system. But just awfully executed with everything that surrounds it. Just an absolute painful experience that is not fun. There is no balance or sense of progression (not to mention lack of proper story, actually pretty insulting to actual historical events, completely changes Hideyoshi into a figure to be revered rather than a slaughterer of Koreans). Just really dissapointing. Idk. Just really sad game design, feels maliciously designed badly on purpose at points. (OH AND the DLC is INSULTINGLY bad, I'm talking the worst boss fights I've ever experienced in 20+years gaming, just completely unplaytested trash that feels like cut content)… Expand
