  • Overall, I find Nioh to give you far more tools than the usual Souls game, but also not demand as much mastery of them. There’s still some punishing mechanics (the only game that I’ve enjoyed doing the Exp recover after dying was Lies of P) and obtuse stats (even more when you consider the loot piñatas), but its still a game where I can go “All right, I don’t want to deal with this” and use the Yokai transformation to melt a boss’ HP.

    Of course, at the end of the day, to each its own, so if Souls+Diablo gameplay doesn’t sound appealing to you, its an easy skip.


  • Having played very little Ninja Gaiden, I don’t think they’re similar at all save from being 3rd person games. Nioh is much closer to the Souls formula, which slower combat, stamina consumption on actions and a demanding care on facing enemies, with the added complexity (though not necessarily added difficulty) of weapon stances and combos, skill trees, colored loot, and a Devil Trigger-like skill.

    If you’re going to try one, you should expect something more akin to Dark Souls + Diablo lootfest than the action romp that is Ninja Gaiden
