    The game and extra content is great, but it still looks like I am playing the PS4 version at 60fps. With some of the remasters for the new consoles that I have seen, I feel this could have been done better. Even in 4k the anti aliasing is terrible. But gameplay wise, it is fantastic. Maybe not not worth the big price tag though as it doesn't't feel like a new game.

    Worth My Time: Only if you know what you're getting into.
    Worth My Money: Yes, it's a pretty good value when on sale.

    What I Like: The weapon system is pretty cool and there's tons of abilities. Runs really well on PS5.

    What I Dislike: Wasted potential as it ends up being a janky button masher with terrible bulletsponge AI and way too much loot.

    How It Stacks Up: You can really tell that this was made by the same people who made Dead or Alive. Unnecessarily complex systems everywhere you look. Tons of video game here, just none if it is particularly good. There is definitely an audience for this game though. It is for people who think the Souls series is too slow and boring and hard, and instead wish it were a casual over-the-top action button masher. At least they did a good job with the PS5 features.    … Expand

    The Nioh Collection brings two bright stars of the Soulslike constellation to PS5, slightly improved and accompanied by six DLCs. I found the first Nioh very satisfying, addictive and immensely fun as a whole, but the sequel turned out to be a chore because its absurd difficulty level was too much for me. [05/2021, p.28]

    Even if it’s not loaded with extra stuff, Nioh Collection still has what’s important: the best versions of two of the best games of recent years, with the improved performance and extra graphical polish to really let Nioh and Nioh 2 shine their brightest. The obvious appeal here is for people who haven’t played a Nioh game before, but even if you have, Nioh Collection‘s improvements make it a great way to revisit them. And maybe, if you’re anything like me, it might even just let you find some new appreciation for what makes Nioh brilliant.

    Two of the best in the genre are running better than ever natively on PS5. While not startlingly novel, if you missed out before, you’re in for a treat. [Issue#186, p.94]
