Nioh 3

Alright, look at my rig: you literally cannot buy a better graphics card without dropping stupid money. 7900XTX and 9800X3D is the *BEST* case scenario for this game... But it still runs like crap!! I tried ultra first. Most areas were okay. But, during combat and whenever new things appear on-screen, the game lags and chokes badly. Also---this game pegs my CPU for some reason. I checked to make sure it is running through my GPU, and it is. For some odd reason, no matter what you do---fake frames, low settings, lowered FPS---this game just runs like dog poop on PC. Wo Long had the same problem for about a year or longer. I hope to God they patch this crap out because this is absurd. I am not bragging, but I've got a top of the line water-cooled gaming PC: this game should run GREAT on it, I do insane things on this rig without breaking a sweat, yet Nioh 3 *still* runs like a fossilized turd on a sunny day. Embarrassing! I am a LONG-TIME FAN of Nioh. I played Nioh 1 & 2 for hundreds of hours, played them until I was bitterly bored. Went through NG+ multiple times. Nioh 2 ran great on PC, by the way: this game has no excuse to run bad!! Especially not on this computer!! I am shocked and ashamed that the game was released in this state. My advice: go play Nioh 1 & 2 for about a year until they fix this game. I'll update this review if they do. I WOULD tell you about the gameplay (spoilers: ninja is broken easy-mode, the special red glow parry from N2 is back but using it switches your styles) but honestly don't even worry about gameplay at the moment. The game is going to run like crap no matter what you do. If it matters, I'm running Linux, but that operates via Proton which basically means I'm emulating Windows, so... performance should be the same on Windows. Judging by the other reviews on Windows system, they have the same problem. So, no, this isn't a Linux-specific issue. Fix the fkn game Koei, this is crap!!

結論：還是仁王2好玩 三代完全沒有二代的爽感 二代我奈落獄深處玩幾百小時還是很開心 (而且還是玩絕境無傷流) 但三代我玩不到幾小時就想關遊戲了 三代就是個把你砍殘廢再給你輔助輪的殘障遊戲 為了服務琢(拙)技 故意調慢玩家的攻擊和迴避動作 跟一二代比起來 三代的玩家動作像被上了遲鈍符一樣拖泥帶水 為了服務格擋和識破 把敵人攻擊都改成大範圍大追蹤，逼你用格擋去解 好像用武士下段迴避閃招是種罪一樣 (下段閃招明明是一二代的正宗玩法，製作組卻帶頭推翻自己的設計，可悲) 為了阻止玩家壓制人類BOSS的精力 就把人類敵人的精力回復速度改得超快 有些敵人還會無預警霸體出招甚至全程霸體不讓你削精 只能眼睜睜看著敵人回滿精力 互動感可以說是0 為了阻止玩家給BOSS上混沌 把所有的屬性手段都砍成垃圾 只有穿兇王套打幻術才有辦法對BOSS上屬性，呵 對敵人削精、上屬性明明都是很有自己特色的系統 三代卻自廢武功，硬要和其他魂系遊戲同質化 結果就是玩法變得四不像 既沒有仁王的樂趣也沒有其他魂系好玩 更別提三代的妖怪技基本上是垃圾 削精和上屬性能力全都遠不如二代鬼火一根毛 總之前作好用的東西在本作全部被砍一刀 這就是仁王3 然後三代的按鈕延遲非常嚴重，至今都仍未修正 如果玩過一二代會更清楚 光這點我就只想給60分以下了 你一個動作遊戲有操作延遲還玩個毛 還有一個很莫名奇妙的設計 就是三代新增的BOSS攻擊回合都非常地長 明顯就是逼你全程格擋，戰鬥節奏也因此變得非常糟糕 原本二代又難又爽的風格在三代完全蕩然無存 總之這個叫柴田剛平的製作人顯然完全不懂仁王 只是把仁王當臥龍在做，還做得比臥龍差 把一款原本有深度的遊戲弄得非常膚淺且搞人 通關三代二周目和全成就後的唯一感想就是希望我可以跳到沒有這個製作人的世界線

I was beyond excited when Nioh 3 was announced. The first 2 games had incredible combat, and great build variety. I'm very glad to say that's all here and better than ever, but I cannot reccomend this game in it's current state. Nioh 3 ditches the level-based design of it's predecessors and goes open world. This has it's upsides and downsides. Exploration is better than ever, and they did a great job of filling the world with objectives and interesting things to investigate. Unfortunately, this does take away from the slick, quick paced levels that the series is known for. You spend a lot more time figuring out where to go than you do actually progressing. If you're a fan of games like Elden Ring and Crimson Desert, this is a huge win for you. I can definitely understand the frustrations from people that prefer the older style of the levels. The combat in Nioh 3 is spectacular. It's an improvement beyond Nioh 2 in many ways, the most of which is a completely new style of combat, the Ninja style. The Ninja moveset is focused on mobility and dodging, and it nails that feeling. It feels amazing to dart around the open world and quickly shred enemies. If you want slower paced, heavier, parry and block style combat closer to the first 2 games, you have the samurai style available for you. Both styles have the stance system for your weapons and have tons of unique skills to unlock and experiment with. Obviously, with refined combat comes refined enemies, and they did an excellent job with this as well. The enemy variety definitely feels reminiscent of Elden Ring, and the feeling of discovery and shock when finding a new enemy feels amazing. The game encourages you to try and figure out an Enemy's movset and weaknesses before you approach. A lot of classic Nioh favorite Yokai are still here as well. After all this, you're probably thinking, "Why don't you recommend this game? Everything you said was positive." It was, up until this point. This game has a glaring, obvious issue that is persistent and hampers the entire experience. Yes, I'm talking about the technical aspect of the game. Team Ninja is unfortunately known for their terrible PC ports, and Nioh 3 is no different. Insane CPU usage, low frame rates, and graphics that frankly don't look much better than Nioh 2. All of these same issues have been present in their other PC ports, and in some like Rise of the Ronin, have never been fixed. I'm writing this review 4 months after launch, and there has not been a single patch or fix in regards to the optimization process. I don't know if they've given up, or what, but the fact is people with PC's even above the requirements will not be able to enjoy this game to the fullest in this state. I really hope that Team Ninja is aware of this and is planning a patch to fix this issues, but I'm not holding my breath. Nioh 3 is an incredible experience in every sense apart from it's frame rate. For that reason, I can't recommend this game. If the game gets a patch that addresses this, I will absolutely change my review. Team Ninja, you have an incredible game here, please make it run acceptably.

9分的好玩，确实是最简单的一代了 感觉这部什么都串了，试问谁看到最后德川庆喜跟高衫晋作勾肩搭背能不笑的，幕末史迎来了大变

初めに結論を言うと仁王3はおすすめしない、シリーズ持っていないなら仁王2を買おう 面白いは面白いのだがお勧めできない点をまとめたい 今作は只々面倒しただけにした印象が強く、ボスも序盤から二回変身したり3連戦だったりと理不尽と難しいを勘違いしている調整が多い印象でお勧めできない 1、侍と忍者が戦闘スタイルとして分かれ切り替え方式になった 武器と防具が別々になったため忍者と侍を別々に二重に集めなければならず、 さらに侍武器を使いながら忍術を使うには、一旦忍者スタイルに切り替えてから忍術を使い、 その後侍スタイルに戻る必要がある 2．MAPがオープンワールドになり強化目的の探索が大変 仁王にはコダマや遺髪など何種類かのスキル習得や強化の素材があるが、集めるために大きいオープンワールド隅々の探索を強制されてしまう（集めないとスキルが増えないし特殊効果が上がらない） 3、ボスや一部の強敵が初めからやたら強い 私はソウルライクはそんなに得意ではないが、それでも1と2とWolongはなんとかクリアした経験がある、そんな私でもボスや強敵がやたら強く感じた （狂骨お前のことだよ） 4，MAPギミックが理不尽 至るところに地獄というエリアMAPがある特段貴重なマップではなく、ストーリーの関係でボスはここにいるのだが、この中ので攻撃を受けると最大体力が減るというギミックがあるこの体力現象は社（焚き火）や強化した薬などでしか回復しないためどんどん最大体力が減っていく、ちなみに回復のために社に祈るとソウルライクなので敵が復活する、これがまた面倒くさい

「Digital Deluxe Edition」の予約購入者です。 200時間以上プレイしてトロコン済です。 また、チーニンの死にゲーは、これまでに「仁王2（PS5）」を800時間以上、「ウォーロン1（STEAM）」を400時間以上、プレイしてきています。 ついでに言うと、死にゲーではありませんが、「ローニン（PS5）」を200時間以上プレイ済です。 良いところ悪いところは、他のレビュアーさんが書いていることと相違ないのであえて書きませんが、開発チームには次のことを検討してほしいです。 正直、「仁王2」に比べて不満点はかなり多いですが、開発チームへの期待を込めて、あえて「おすすめします」にしています。 ・小物の加工をできるようにしてほしい（「仁王2」ではできたのに...）。 ・サムライスタイル、ニンジャスタイルでそれぞれ遠距離武器を2つ装備できるようにしてほしい。 ・装備、魂代、守護霊のオプションの効果値などがショボすぎて、オマケ程度にしかなくて効果の実感がほとんど無いので、オプションの効果値が実感できる程度に見直してほしい。 ・バフの効果時間が短すぎるので、「仁王2」並に戻してほしい。 ・バフ、デバフの効果アイコンが小さ過ぎるので「仁王2」並に大きくしてほしい（もしくは大きさを選択させてほしい）。 ・陰陽術をかけるときの硬直をなくしてほしい（「仁王2」のようにテンポ良くしてほしい）。 ・ビルドの幅が「ウォーロン1」寄りになっているように感じるので、「仁王2」寄りに戻してほしい。 ・使役符がほぼ空気なので、もっと活用できる場面を増やしてほしい（使用回数を増やすなど）。 ・守護霊技が、気力切れ回避以外にほとんど使い道がないので、使役符と同様もっと活用できる場面を増やしてほしい。 ・「仁王2」のように守護霊を2つ装備できるようにしてほしい。 ・明らかにスキルポイント（共通、サムライ、ニンジャ）が足りていないので、無条件で上限を上げるか、必要なスキルポイントを緩和して欲しい（装備できないスキルが余り過ぎている）。 ・マルチに人がいなくてとにかく過疎っているので、マルチが盛り上がるコンテンツを増やしてほしい。 ・「逢魔が時」を実装してほしい。 ・「地獄絵巻」を実装してほしい。 ・「仁王2」のようにハクスラ味、トレハン味をもっと濃くしてほしい。 ・取得済、未取得の製法書をリストにして「見える化」してほしい。 ・武器種の称号を全て獲得するために、一つの武器種で500体以上の敵を倒さなければいけないのは、さすがに苦痛過ぎるし飽きる。 　⇒称号埋めたい人間にとっては、全ての武器種の称号が埋まるまでは、実質「武器種縛り」になってるし、もはや飽きた...。いい加減、好きな武器種を使いたい。。。 開発チームにも設計思想や色々な思惑はあるとは思いますが、アプデのたびに直近レビューがジワジワ下がっているのが悲しいです。 DLCには期待していますので、挽回できるようご尽力されることを心から願っていますが、「仁王2」を沼るまでやり込んできた人たちほど、多くの不満を抱えていると思います（少なくとも私はそうです）。 『そんなに「仁王2」が良いなら、一生「仁王2」でもやってろよ』という声も聞こえてきそうですが、そういう議論をしたいのではありません。 現状を放置されたままだと、今後のチーニン作品に対して不安が募るばかりですが、それでもウォーロン2には期待していますので、これからも開発頑張ってください（「Digital Deluxe Edition」があれば予約購入するツモリです）。 私の声を含め、より多くのユーザーの声が開発チームに届くよう願っています。 ご共感いただけた方、グッドボタンをしていただけると幸いです。 長文失礼いたしました。 ※WQHD、60fps設定でやっていますが、私のPCスペック（下記参照）では今のところほとんど不具合はないです（長時間連続でプレイしていると、稀にフリーズしたり落ちたりする程度）。 【私のPCの詳細スペック】 ■本体性能 ・CPU：AMD Ryzen5 9600x ・グラボ：ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 Steel Legend 16GB OC ・メモリ：Crucial Pro DDR5-5600 32GB Kit （16GBx2） ・マザボ：ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI ・ストレージ：下記参照 　・システム用：Crucial T500 1TB 　・ゲーム用：KIOXIA-EXCERIA PLUS G3 2TB ・電源：CORSAIR RM850x -2024- 850W ATX3.1/PCI Express 5.1対応 80PLUS GOLD ※OCなどはしておらず、全てデフォルト設定です。 ■冷却性能 ・ケース：S200 TG ARGB Plus Snow Edition ・CPUクーラー：THERMALRIGHT PA120 White ARGB デュアルタワー ・ケースファン下記参照 　・フロント：12cm × 3 　・天面：12cm × 2 　・リア：上部12cm × 1、下部6cm × 1

I just cannot recommend the game in its current state. I thought after a few patches I would be ok, sadly I am not. If its on a good sale, grab it. If its not on sale, buyer be cautious and read on. I am left feeling wanting more... it felt like Nioh. Looked like Nioh. Plays like Nioh. Combat really was the only saving grace here. Ive got several hundreds of hours in this franchise going back to Nioh 1, and Im also a Team Ninja fan going back to their early days, so I am trying to remain unbiased in my "Fanboy" review. I figured after 80 hours of gametime I could leave an honest review. Just gonna get the good things out of the way first as the list is rather short.... Combat: Absolute WIN here. Love it. Wish I could have the way the level up system is here in 2 in my opinion. Team Ninja proves they know how to make a good combat game. It is their Core strength here. Im kinda in the middle ground on the whole ninja swap thing. Feels overpowered to me in some aspects and others makes me feel like its pointless. Most of my time was spent in Samurai form versus this Ninja form. Damage output in Ninja form was just lacking, however the access to using Ninjistu was more newcomer friendly and seemed like it was an aspect to really lean on. Kinda brought some spice to the mix but not my cup of tea. (For you teahouse nerds) Now for the bad stuffs, Boss fights........*Deep breath* They are totally allowed to use previous bosses from the franchise as they see fit as they own the stuff but, it wasnt like how we would have seen it in the second installment. Newer bosses seemed to be, how do I put this.... not really tested? I was able to first try some bosses, others took me days. Some mechanics work in the open world, but think again in boss fights. Prepare to die a few times just trying to figure out what does and doesnt work in this arena. (Looking at you move cancels with burst counter) Story: Made no sense other than you are a time traveling hero saving a particular dynasty on the verge of catastrophic collapse due to a surprise Yokai attack pushing them to the brink of "we do or die here". Im sorry, Nioh 2 had a better story line to it that you could follow and connect with a little bit. Onmyo Magic got a huge kick in the balls here. I felt very limited on what I could use because "Sorry Mario your Wraith is in another castle!" leaving me agitated that I couldnt use something to full potential even though the area is cleared or couldnt use it at all. Feels like this was on purpose to get us to use the new "Ninjustu Style" The Soul Charge Counter was introduced way too late in my opinion. I was intuitively trying to do it as a alternative to burst counter before I unlocked it. So I was trying to fix what I thought was a "Bad Habbit" but turned out to be a feature that unlocks after a certain point of the game. I had to walk away from my computer for a few minutes after unlocking this due to my disppointment saying "im level 55 and im just now getting this????" The stableness of the game makes me wonder who is in charge of bug squashing, cause updating the armor sets and minor bug fixes isnt what this title needs this late after launch. This title is still not hardware friendly for the lower tier of PC's even at lowest settings. This makes me scratch my head as I am seeing what is being done to achieve this "massive open world" appearance. Things drawn ridiculously cheap, fires are like what nintendo 64 did back in the day, completely 2D. Open works isnt really and open world. It is still broken up into chuncks which kinda feel like really big levels instead of an open world that seemlessly flows into other parts. Might as well of kept the level by level design from previous games. All and all, I am putting this down for a bit and coming back after a while to see if any if at all improvements to the core game have been made to make it more stable not just for the hardware but more consistant with difficulty as well. Seems like some parts were for sure rushed over others. Again, I am a Fanboy of this franchise. I will still tell you Nioh is my favorite franchise. But I am stuck in a paradox like I was years ago after the release of Ninja Gaiden 3.... The second game was better than the third.... Seems like Team Ninja is Cursed with any third installment they make.

I don't recommend this at all. It is a solid 9/10 when you first start it and by the time you finish the story it drops to a 3. There is simply too much here and it all falls apart. By the way, I loved nioh 2. That game also had a lot going on and it even introduced a new mechanic in new game +4 or something like that. I had to force myself to finish the story here because I heard ng+ is where the real fun starts. But guess what? Its just pointless grinding and endless tedium. The open world was a huge mistake. Its not even that open. This is just a bunch of linear levels stitched together by paths. The first map handles that illusion well but by the final map, you can pretty much see through all of the designer's tricks. ALSO this really really made the game a slog- the bosses are awful. Your average enemy or even miniboss can go down quite easily. You have many tools at your disposal, I would argue that some powers make the game way too easy. However, the bosses don't follow the rules established in the game. They move way too fast and have hyper armor. This makes the samurai class useless btw. Yes I am complaining that the game is too hard and get gud is not an option. The game is simply cheap with its bosses. Also I love a good collectathon but why does it have to be this extensive in a fighting game? I loathe those segments where there is a kodama/container sitting behind a barrier that you should be able to easily jump over but instead you have to circle the area, find an invisible wall and do some platforming to reach it. Its not the game for that. The worst culprit has got to be bodies hanging over ledges that you cannot get to unless you are doing a specific side quest. Terrible. And hold on- everything I just complained about can be applied to elden ring. Yep, that is true but elden ring is not a grind. It is longer than nioh 3 but knows how to pace itself. Kinda makes me realize that nioh 3 is like a sandbox type of game that the devs make with player tools that don't actually exist.

Perhaps one of the worst optimized games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. Team Ninja's previous port of Rise of the Ronin also sucked hot dog water off the scummy floor. Great game but I simply cant abide the state they've left it in. I waited several months for performance fixes and there's been NOTHING. Just a condescending "guide to optimization" telling me to clear my cache, and its totally not their fault. Pretty sick of their whole attitude. Its a shame really because again, great game. Best Nioh in my opinion, the open world really works for me and its easier than the other two. The only thing I dont love is splitting the weapons between the two "modes", meaning Ninja weapons dont have the traditional three stances, just one. My main weapon the Kusarigama was a victim of this.

Reviewed specifically as a co-op experience. Me and a friend burned through It Takes Two, bounced off Split Fiction because it was too easy, and went looking for something with actual teeth. Nioh 3 has teeth. If you're coming here looking for Dark Souls or Elden Ring difficulty but with two people: manage your expectations. Co-op is easier. More enemies, more HP on bosses, but you're always able to gang up on everything together and that tips the scales. From other reviews the difficulty curve is expected to keep climbing significantly, so it probably won't stay easy forever. But don't expect solo-difficulty challenge with a friend alongside you. That's just the nature of two people coordinating on content tuned for one. That said, it's an absolute blast doing it together. The co-op implementation itself is one of the best I've experienced in any game, let alone a soulslike. Progression saves to your own profile, so you can play solo for a bit, hop on with your friend later, and everything carries over. Chests you opened stay opened for you. If you've overleveled you can actually manually drop excess Amrita into your personal stash and dial your level back down to match your friend before joining. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. I main Ninja, he mains Samurai. The two class systems are different enough that we genuinely complement each other rather than stepping on each other's toes. There's actual build theory to sink into between sessions, and the depth of the systems keeps growing the further you go. After 50 hours we're still in the first real era. There's a full NG+ mode and two DLC expansions coming. For two people looking for a co-op game that respects your intelligence and rewards coordination, this is the one right now. Recommended.
