Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition

Having just beaten Nioh 2 and Nioh 1 earlier this year I can say that Nioh 2 is without a doubt better in every way than the original. That isn't to say, however, that the game doesn't still have some glaring issues. The biggest pro for this game is for sure the combat system. They fixed one of my biggest disappointments with Nioh 1 by adding what they call "Burst Counters". This mechanic acts as the game's true parry system; I really enjoyed using them, and it made the game a lot easier for me personally. While on the topic of difficulty, I found Nioh 2 to be much easier than the original. The game also looks nice and runs great, I didn't experience a single crash in my 40 hour playthrough. The skill tree has been greatly improved and was a lot easier to understand compared to Nioh 1. The level design has also been improved; it's not perfect, but it's a definite improvement. When it comes to the story, I did find it better than Nioh 1, but it still isn't the focal point. This is fine for me, as I don't play Soulslikes for the narrative. The two biggest negatives for me are the lack of enemy variety (yet again, as this was also a big issue in Nioh 1). Because of the addition of Burst Counters, I didn't mind fighting the same enemy 100 times as much, but it is still disappointing that the enemy pool is so small. My other major complaint is the fact that there are levels in this game that are copied and pasted directly out of Nioh 1. It surprises me that I don't see this talked about more often. Both of these issues feel more like laziness from the devs than anything else. Also, the UI can be a little confusing and could be streamlined better for the player. 8.2/10

sb脚男属性哑巴主角 极简风剧情≈无 狗屎UI套一万层壳不知道在藏什么东西 复杂且无效的RPG词条，配合怪物高伤害，毫无成长感觉，没有任何难度设计 玩法极其单一，熟悉套路过后只想赶紧结束这个游戏

The best action game ever made

哎，心累了，非要设计的这么恶心的游戏我真吃不下去了

It seems this door must be opened from the other side. Felt like a looong nioh 1 dlc... not bad i guess, but bruh does it take a while to get the sauce back... for a sequel i expected to do cool shii from the start not when the game was about to end. 7 otakemarus out of 10.

one of the best action combat games ever made, the sheer breadth of player customization in terms of weapon swapping, build crafting, moveset customization, guardian spirit swapping, yokai abilities... it's almost dizzying, but there is just so much game to play that you will have plenty of time to get accustomed with the game systems, and when you truly GET the game, there's nothing else quite like it. a game with a strong combat system is nothing without having strong enemy and level designs, and nioh 2 is full of fun, cruel enemies and enemy encounters within fun and cruel levels, and the bosses... it's all too good. the only problem with nioh 2 is that you'll compare every soulslike and action game you play afterwards to it, because it's just that good. best game ever
