After over 12 years in development, Nioh plays like a compilation of every hack-and-slash RPG since the early 2000s, and while it's almost tempting to write off most of the gameplay as being derivative of From Software's recent action RPGs, like Bloodborne and the Dark Souls franchise, there's so...

Combat is skillful and loads of fun; Open maps stuffed with encounters and secrets; Customization options are a welcome bonus; Adorable Kodama with cute little bowls for hats

Story is a bit bland; The first level is easily the worst part of the game

Nioh , the latest game from Team Ninja has arrived, wearing its influences proudly on its sleeve. Team Ninja took the core mechanics of Dark Souls and Bloodborne and added their own unique twist on combat and exploration to deliver what is undoubtably going to be a game remembered when talking about...

Fantastic combat mechanics; Great environments; Epic boss fights; Rewarding challenges; Replay value

William is not very interesting

It's been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Team Ninja's Nioh ought to have the folks at FromSoftware blushing like schoolgirls. Different in all the right ways, yet similar in all the right ways, this superb action role-playing game takes the gameplay style of the Souls series,...

After spending almost forty hours with the action/adventure title Nioh, I can say with all certainty that it is easily the first must-buy and early contender for game of the year.

Works great I really Ike this game.

An unbelivable well made mix of Onimusha and Souls games formula ....this PS4 game is high there along Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and Horizon

In a quarter absolutely filled with a whole lot of near perfect games, Nioh stands out brilliantly as the one with the highest challenge. Playing in the Sengoku period of historic Japan, players take control of William and embark on an epic Samurai quest battling demons and several famous war...

I purchased this game as I'm a big fan of dark souls, I wasn't disappointed. The game is different enough to stand on its own two feet but the difficulty definitely lends it's self to dark souls, where this game shines above souls though is the combat, it's faster and more fluid and for me a lot...

Nioh is a triumph. It stands head and shoulders above every other title in the genre, even eclipsing its obvious inspiration. Team Ninja is not only back, but it has thrown down the gauntlet, and only time will tell who's up for the challenge.

Deep combat mechanics; A steep but rewarding difficulty curve; Exceptional level design; The option to choose 60 or 30 fps is the cherry on top

The story is a little flat; Some may find the graphics a little underwhelming

It's definitely an excellent game and will appeal to both newcomers into RPG franchise and dark souls veterans as it is jast as mysterious as souls series and not as tough as dark souls.It takes about 4 gb update which is not necessary to play the game.From graphics to story and combat mechanics...
