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.

Amazing

Greetings from Lithuania.

While i'm not the biggest fan "Dark Souls" series but i really liked "Bloodborne" i was and still am simply blown away by "Nioh". Its one of the most involving games i've played, am playing and will be playing in years. It has amazing world, amazing action, terrific skills, tools and moves witch enriches this amazing game. You can do the same missions all over again and have some great loot. Bu the most important it feels unique - when you step into whatever mission, its hard to put it down.

Overall, "Nioh" is a hard game, but its highly rewording. It has terrific world and game play to interact with it. Its one of the most amazing games I've ever played.

Just another bad dark souls clone

Take dark souls, tough but fair, right? Now swap that with a Japanese setting, and with tough but cheesy. That's nioh. Where every enemy can one shot you and you have to hit every item 15+ times to kill them. So they copied everything from dark souls blatantly except....THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. Thank god I didn't pay for this. Go play Sekiro if you want a Japanese style Dark Souls

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.

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.
