Just another cheap Dark Souls rip off

Just like I said in the title, this game is another Dark Souls rip off. Team Ninja needed to make a few extra bucks so they took the DS game mechanics and changed the setting to a 16th century japanese environment, just to make it look different. Too bad they also tried to make it unnecessarily harder (e.g. bosses that one-shot kill you, limited summonings, etc...). The result is an unbalanced Dark Souls clone. If you have money to spend get Bloodborne, you won't be disappointed.

My thoughts about Nioh

To start, this is the first time i'm writing a "review" of anything.

The thing about Nioh is that it's much more than just some clone of Dark Souls. Sure there's some similarities to Souls-games, like gaining levels with your Amrita (souls) and altars (bonfires) or when dying you lose everything,but those similarities end there. Sure the combat too may look like it's the same kind that was in Souls, but it's more fast paced here and reminds a bit of Ninja Gaiden.

Although they released the game back in -17, i however got the game just a couple months ago and so for me it's new and fresh experience.And cause it's so new to me so i can't say if that's why, but i personally like Nioh more than i like Souls-Series.

To this end, i realize that this wasn't much of a review, just wanted to write something about the game that i've fallen in love with. :D

Peace ^^

Pretty good but needs a bit of work

So this game's combat is very very good. The bosses are amazing, the areas are amazing, i kinda like the mission system, it looks ver cool and the theme slaps. Only a few things are missing. Every time when you enter a new regio you need to find kodamas to increase your healing. So if you are in the first mission in a region most of the first missions arent bad. But that with the forest one (forgot the name) is hell. The area is prerty tough and the boss is pretty hard too. Needs a little bit of work there and the other thing i dont like is that you need to switch weapons sooooo many times. I just want to use a weapon with a cool moveset that i like. But you need a new weapon or a fully upgraded weapon for the next mission. Needs a bit of work there too. And also that last mission with thos 7 really tough enemies in 1 room sucks. I still recommend it but just beware of these things

Awesome Souls-like game set in part historical part mythological 1600s Japan.

Nioh is a third-person Action/Adventure Fantasy RPG of the same style as Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, etc. But from a different dev. You play as a man who, in order to further his quest, must fight and kill countless bandits, samurai, and Yokai, which are Japanese Demon like creatures/spirits. Be warned this game is VERY difficult. Even harder than the Souls games. But it is a very fun, challenging, satisfying and enjoyable experience. It does feel unfair at times and has really rage inducing Boss fights and certain sections. Overall I'd give Nioh an 8.5/10. Really great and would recommend getting The Nioh Collection on PS5 that includes both games and all DLC.

Trivia
Nioh was first announced by original developer Koei in 2004 under its working title "Oni". In addition to the game, which was slated for a 2006 release, a feature film directed by Kurosawa's son Hisao Kurosawa would be produced alongside and inspire the game: the entire project's budget was estimated as being three billion yen. The movie tie-in was eventually cancelled in 2005 due to unspecified production problems, with the game becoming a standalone project. Nioh was first shown off in a trailer at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, where it was announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. At the time, the title was romanized as "Ni-Oh". Initially slated for a 2006 release, Nioh missed its announced release date, and no update on the game was issued until 2009, when Koei Tecmo stated that the title was still in development. Similar updates would be issued over the following six years. The game, now retitled slightly as Nioh, was reintroduced at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show as a PlayStation 4 exclusive, with a scheduled launch in Japan in 2016.It was later announced for an international release at the PlayStation Experience event in December of that year, also in 2016.
