    The worst game I have ever played. Terrible combat mechanics. A pathetic parody of the sekiro

    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.

    The game scales everything to your character at all times. This makes gearing and leveling to be a waste of time. You will always die in two hits to a boss or elite enemy.

    The game scales everything to your character at all times. This makes gearing and leveling to be a waste of time. You will always die in two hits to a boss or elite enemy. 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

    Welp. I beat the game. Nobody actually played past the first level who gave this game a good review. It feels like an absolute prank, the enemies are damage sponges and you die in 1 hit no matter what. That's right, the entire game, no progression, just as weak as you were at level 1, when youre level 1 3 0. (And fighting the same boring enemies too!)Have fun. It is one of the worstWelp.

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

    What a joke of a game, from the beginning it's a snoozefest. Boring game design makes you design your character like it's a Sims game lol so tiresome. Then you have to pick a weapon and spirit animal and wow they just don't want you to see how bad their game is so they drag you and muddy the water as best they can just to hide a poorly executed joke of a game with the worst combat systemWhat a joke of a game, from the beginning it's a snoozefest.

Look at any Doom game for example, you start a game and that's it. Enemies come at you, you blast them pure fun not that weeping listen to my sorry story half an hour and we couldn't design a character so can you do our job for us even though you paid for it, what an absolute joke and disgrace hope developers like this go extinct, pathetic and unacceptable. Sony gave it away on PS plus because, you've guessed it, no one wants to play it and no one will be happy paying for this sh*t… Expand

    The game has better level design and enemies which is a good addition as well as more weapons and better skill tree layout, but as far as combat goes Nioh 1 is clearly superior in every way. Team ninja dropped the ball here by trying to over tink the combat mechanics which makes me want to avoid their other titles they may release after this. I can't say I will be inclined to preorder anyThe game has better level design and enemies which is a good addition as well as more weapons and better skill tree layout, but as far as combat goes Nioh 1 is clearly superior in every way.

I can't say I will be inclined to preorder any more of their games and I am glad I wanted to pick this one up when it was on sale after playing the demo I knew it was going to have its short comings.
    The game is worth it at 20 dollars but I can't see most people enjoying it as did people who tried Nioh 1.


    If you're on a budget and want a game to sink hours in get Nioh 1 girst before this .    … Expand

    Very good entertainment with a faceted battle system. It looks and feels great on PlayStation 5.

    It may not be a huge step up from last year's PS4 release but Nioh 2 Remastered - The Complete Edition is a great edition of a fantastic game that fans and newcomers alike will love. That is; if they can handle its high degree of challenge.
