    This game kicked my butt the whole way through but it was such an amazing experience. This game is the Nioh formula perfected. Such an improvement over the first which is still amazing.

This has to be the best souls-like. The ancient Japanese world is so fun to learn about and explore. The combat is phenomenal with all the different mechanics at play. I cannot praise this game enough. Yes it is hard but keep at it and you will best it. Expand

    Gameplay viciante, tudo muito bem feito, com um fator replay infinito e desafiador. As expansões estão muito caprichadas, com novas fases, inimigos, chefes e armas. Uma delícia de game, e ainda tem um sistema online cooperativo que funciona maravilhosamente bem, dando tapa na cara de muito jogo que não sabe criar partidas online de forma decente e rápida.

    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.

    One of my absolute favorite video games ever made. The combat is absolutely pristine, it's faster-paced and more combo-oriented than most souls-like games, with a brilliant "ki pulse" mechanic that rewards its use in between combos.

The combat is absolutely pristine, it's faster-paced and more combo-oriented than most souls-like games, with a brilliant "ki pulse" mechanic that rewards its use in between combos. 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.

    Теперь, когда мы снова насладились Nioh с помощью шикарного нового ремастированного издания, давайте посмотрим на его, возможно, превосходное продолжение и все его DLC.

    Некоторые могут предпочесть оригинал, но я думаю, что Nioh 2 — это замечательное продолжение, которое взяло формулу первой игры и расширило ее удивительными способами. 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. К счастью, вы можете объединиться с партнерами.

    I'm not a "soulslike" games fan, but i started playing Nioh 2 and i really can't stop. It's an amazing game, great gameplay. I've never thought that a game where you die so many times could be this fun.

    Amazing game incredible gameplay beyond what Dark Souls allows, and for that I love it pretty comparable to Sekiro in difficulty. It has a lot of mechanics to digest so not for the faint of heart. Combat is very fair but unforgiving if you don’t know what you are doing.

    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.

    I wasn't sure I'd like it before getting it, but it surprised me how much I loved it. I'd give it a 9.5. It may very well have the best combat I've ever experienced in a game. The combat is strategic; it's not a button masing hack and slash.

Enemy design and variety are great, the art style of the levels is fantastic, and the gameplay is addicting. All the gameplay mechanics can be a little confusing at first, but you'll get a hang of them. It's definitely a challenging game. I'd say it's harder than Dark Souls, but easier than Sekiro. I think Nioh 2 is the best souls-like game. I highly recommend it. Expand

    The best action RPG game I have ever played. I clocked in over 1000 hours into this game and still love it. Better than Elden Snooze

    Это отличная игра, для соло и кооперативных приключений.
    Тут нет плясок с углем и колокольчиками, потому что есть способ сразу пойти в приключение, но усложнённой версии, но тем не менее для стандартного прохождения и вызова со-партийца, необходимы чашки.
    Всем хорошей игры! :)

    칼싸움 게임의 최강자. 주인공이 겁나 간지나고 멋있음. 검과 갑옷도 멋있고 근접 타격감, 칼싸움도 멋있음. 그대신 난이도가 어렵고 적군들이 너무 강력함.

    Very difficult, but so interesting that I sometimes forget time. Good story well combined with Japanese history. I dislike Koei's complete edition selling, so I had to wait until complete edition is released. I waited for more than a year form the initial release in PS4.

    Probably the best souls-like out there that is not developed at fromsoft. Enjoyed Nioh 2 a lot, especially the DLCs!

    Movement is on point and the atmosphere is on awesome.

    Jeu très complet. Le gameplay est très diversifié avec les différentes armes et postures et le challenge est au rdv. Le loot est un peu trop présent, l'exploration pourrait être meilleure et la DA aussi

    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.
