Honestly Nioh2 was much better. The lack of stance split in Ninja/samurai absolutely kills most of the ninja weapons, it's a bogglingly terrible choice. Now suddenly I have the same number of skills to unlock on kusari gama but only 1 slot to put them in that they all compete for. It used to be I could have 3 skills on heavy following light attack one in each of the 3 stances, now I have to pick one, and I'm stuck with it. It doesn't feel good at all. I tried to get back into the game recently thinking maybe I had just judged it too harshly at launch but no, it just feels really bad to play. Couldn't tell you how the story stacks up, the combat is too bad for me to make it very far into the game.
初仁王ですけど、今年のラインナップを見ると自分的にはGOTYかな。あくまで「自分的に」だけど。 正直フロムゲーには疲れて来てたし「ボスだけ楽しい」に辟易してたので、この出会いは大きい。 フロムゲー同様にアクションRPGだけど、ストーリーや世界観より、もっとアクションとビルド構成に比重を置いてます。 更に本作は所謂「死にゲー?」だけど、フロムゲーとはコンセプトが大分違います。ボス戦を見ても、フロムゲーはボスより弱い主人公が「大きな障壁を乗り越える」に対して、仁王3はボスとほぼ同等の主人公が「如何にスタイリッシュにボスを料理する」もしくは超強力ビルドで「如何にボスを瞬殺する」という風に感じました。 それらを実現するには様々な検証、武器の熟練度と理解度、スキルの向上、ハクスラ要素による適正な武器の入手が必要になり、やる事、覚える事がかなり多い。正直二周終えて、やっと「何となくこのゲームについて解ってきた気がする」というレベルです。 要するに「クリアして終わり」でないのが仁王だと確信しました。 【良かった点】 ・キャラクリで胸をデカくできる ・武器それぞれに固有の技があって自由にセットが出来る ・サムライモードの技研ぎコンボの中毒性は尋常じゃない ・いろんなプレイスタイルがあって、プレイスタイルによって難易度が大きく違う ・ラストステージの盛り上がり方が素晴らしい ・フロムゲーみたいなモッサリとしたターン制戦闘になりにくく、カッコ良い高速な戦闘が出来る ・BGMが素晴らしい ・妖怪のデザインが良い ・武器はどれを使っても楽しい ・ビルドを変える為に能力値を好きなだけ変更できる ・オープンフィールドが無駄にだだっ広くない 【好きじゃない点】 ・キャラクリで性別をタイプ1と2で表現しててウザい ・ボスの掴み攻撃の頻度が高すぎて戦闘のテンポを壊す ・強い人間相手だとガードの応酬になる ・苦難の石を上げると敵のスタミナの減りが悪くなり、本来の素晴らしい戦闘が損なわれる ・アイテム整理が慣れるまでかなり面倒 ・壁際のカメラワークはフロムゲーを凌ぐゴミレベル 以上、ほとんど良い事しか言ってないけど、残念ながらこれはライト層やアクションが苦手な方の感想とは大分乖離してるように思える。 ①覚える事がメチャクチャ多い ②難しい ③フロムゲームとは違う(フロムゲーを期待するとガッカリしかねない) ③はともかく、①と②は初心者にとって大きな障壁になるかもしれない。それでもプレイしたい方はじっくりプレイしてゆっくり覚えていくしかない。ただ時間をかければかけた分だけ上達して、それなりのリターンがあるのではないか、と思ってます。 とりあえず体験版があるのでそれで購入を判断して頂ければと思います。体験版にハマれば30時間は遊べるそうです。
абслютный высер, а не игра!
I unfortunately cannot recommend what is an incredible entry in my favorite franchise. Months and months of patches and there has been no effort from the developers to improve the worst performing game of 2026. I tried first to play on my main couch rig with Bazzite/AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D/AMD RX 9070 XT on a 4K TV. After weeks of fiddling with game and system settings, I gave up and decided it is unplayable via proton. Most of the first era is playable, but immediately upon entering the snowy region the engine crawls to a halt. I don't mind frame issues in most games, but the way Nioh 3's engine works makes performance drops painful. You'll be getting ready to deflect an incoming attack, only for a stutter to happen that slows the game to a crawl, making you miss the parry window. I eventually gave up and moved over to my development rig to play. That's Windows 11/AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D/RTX 4070 on a 1440p monitor. On my Windows machine I can at least get the game back to a playable state. Even so it takes lots of config tweaking to get the game to maintain a stable frame rate. That stability is required to play the game, the tougher bosses cannot be defeated without consistent performance. It saddens me to have to write that part of the review up front. There is so much positive I want to review about the gameplay. Especially as the step from Nioh 2 to Nioh 3. I love nearly everything about the actual game. Such a shame that most people won't even get to the point of playing given how incredibly broken the the engine is. The highlight is the split between ninja and samurai gear sets. It forces you to use a variety of playstyles and gear, as certain bosses are weaker to one style or another. The open world is fun, but I enjoyed the arcade style of levels in Nioh 1 and 2, so that isn't a huge plus for me. There are lots of little checklist items you can do around the map. It is fun to be poking around only to stumble across a major boss from the first two games wandering the woods or plains.
In its current state, the game should never have been released. At the time of this writing, there are 71 pages of bug reports already. - excessive GPU burden, - excessive loading times, up to several minutes, - controls that are clunky, if working at all, - misgendering female protagonists Another striking thing: in the mandatory tutorial - which we, apparently, need to go through each time we start a new game - we are put underpowered and undergeared against a boss, so that Steam's 2 hour refund condition expired before we truly get to know what the game is about. Smart marketing, hilariously dumb coding. And the quality-of-life options? They're not bad; they're non-existent.
i absolutely hate glazers. You guys will love a franchise and never call it when it goes to ♥♥♥♥. You guys will pre order and buy hype and pretend something is good when it's not. I never played Nioh before, but this game is nothing like a Souls game. This game is literally Rise of the Ronin. I played ROTR and it is BETTER. It does the combat much better than this half assed ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It actually does its own concept where as Nioh 3 is like a fake copy of it. It's crazy how people's first complaint in ROTR is the graphics. This is literally the same ♥♥♥♥, the character models are EXACTLY the same, but no one says anything because oh its Nioh. Glazers will eat ♥♥♥♥ if it was branded with nostalgia.
So I am enjoying the game, very much so. Granted it's like a Wish version of Elden Ring, but it has maintained my attention and I want to play more. But this port is woefully bad. One of the worst I've had to endure in years. Look at my spec, in no world where a game looks this average should it be this difficult to get a rig of this calibre to run properly. Let it be known, you are locked into borderless or windowed, if you change the overall graphical quality it automatically alters the 'advanced' settings, which in turn results in a crazy frustrating flicking between two menus. My Mrs has an identical rig, and it runs ok on it, yet on mine, due to this relationship between quality and advanced resolution settings, I can't get it to run at anything that closely resembles 4K. I have been in the settings menu for about the same amount of time that I've actually played the game to no avail. How can something look this average and run this poorly?!?!?!?!? Cannot recommend just now due to these technical issues.
[h2]Nioh 3[/h2] максимально артхаусный соулс-лайк с худшей системой прокачки, здесь нету никакого преимущества от исследования локаций, в конечном итоге игрок, пробежавший всю игру, или игрок, который исследовал всю карту ИИшного открытого мира, будут на примерно одном уровне развития. Я играл в эту серию соулс-лайков впервые и вот что скажу: [list] [*]Глазом подглядел, что в этой части cпиздили некоторых боссов, большинство мобов из первой и второй частей и подпилили им визуал, ассет ниндзя вобще спи3жен из недавнего ремастера ниндзя гайдена 2, это очень халтурно. Те, кто играл предыдущие части, явно разочаровались. [*]Сложность скачет. Нельзя сказать точно, сложная ли эта игра, я смотрел кучу видео, где меня пугали некоторыми боссами, которых я убил чуть ли не с 1 трая, а на каких-то застревал на пару часов, при этом нет определённого уровня прогрессии сложности - всегда по-разному. Для новичка, который не знаком с соулс-лайками, эта игра будет невероятной пыткой, так что явно не стоит начинать играть в соулсы с нио. [*]Со всеми механиками игры я разобрался, но система выдачи фласок на костре мне просто выeбaлa мозг. [*]Игра нереально затянута, в конце игры вобще eбyчий босс раш из всех видов врагов игры, уже побеждённых боссов на пару часов перед финалом. [/list] [u]Плохая ли это игра?[/u] Определённо нет, здесь есть и очень хорошие боссы, которые вызывают азарт, финальный босс просто eбнyтo хорош, всегда приходится играть на тоненького, в любой момент можно перекачивать статы и менять билды и мечи. Почему я бы не рекомендовал - спорный визуал и утечки памяти, которые у меня были на начальной стадии игры, но к счастью, большую часть игры было все нормально. Разрабы разлочили игру с 60 фпс, но заметно, что игра пытается держаться на этой отметке всегда. Если и покупать Nioh 3, то только на свой страх и риск, потому что мне пришлось понижать настройки графики до минимума на некоторых боссах, чтобы только нормально с ними подраться. 7/10.
垃圾优化,忍者组的恶趣味永远少不了,弹刀收益极低,快慢刀又多,配色和优化永远不改,伤害又刮痧血条又脆,宫崎英高的游戏虽然血条脆,但是伤害也不至于这么刮痧,都不至于这么恶心,垃圾忍者组真恶心
The game is quite fun, especially with friends. Friends are good, especially when you can use them for entertainement. But. With a 7800x3d, 7900xtx and 32GB of ddr5. You will get on average 74 native frames per second, rendered at 1792x1008 (QHD 70%, fsr3.1 because there is no fsr4), with framegen x2 on medium settings. 1% lows are at an impressive 24 frames per second outside of zone loading. As another reviewer pointed out, the game seems to max out a 16 threads cpu somehow. I would also say for whatever reason, the game speed is tied to the framerate, meaning lags directly translate to the game running slower, even if vsync is on. This is fascinating. I've seen things you know, i played Ark Survival Evolved and Ark Survival Ascended. I have no doubt you've seen things too. But this ? This is a wonder to look at. I genuinely wonder what kind of hardware the devs had. Can't be top-grade consumer stuff, because even that is not enough. I'll update my review if this gets fixed.
