Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition

I've came to realize that this is a dream game for anyone obsessed with fighting mechanics and raw action. In this regard, Nioh 2 is THE game that keeps on giving. But in order to make this happen, the game must sacrifice simplicity and raise the level of challenge. One of the seemlingly inevitable downsides to any beat em up and hack and slash game is that once the combat system settles in and is mastered and you play through all the content, theres not much else to do besides special game modes, like an endless mode. I almost never stick around purely for these one off game modes. I remember playing sleeping dogs until i was bored, because I was done with the story, and the fight clubs were no longer much challenge. I really wanted more sleeping dogs, but the game didn't have much else to offer. Nioh 2 fixes this problem by having combat with nearly endless depth+variety and a solidly long campaign that is meant to be replayed over and over with more loot and systems each time, and lots of good end game content. With this fundamental issue solved, the amount of hours that I can put into the game skyrockets, and I never have to dread that the game is coming to an end when I still wanted more. Players who crave a simple and easy samurai game should avoid this. Anyone who doesn't have the patience to learn and master game mechanics should also avoid this. But for fans who crave endless mastery and combat, Nioh 2 is a high quality buffet that is anything but boring. In the landscape of games that try to squeeze every dollar and cent out of your pocket, Nioh 2 does the very opposite, and it's refreshing. I see myself playing this game for a very long time.
