Hellishly challenging and entertaining tribute to the From Software games. The authors didn´t copy the originals – on the contrary they weren´t afraid of many drastic changes. So, the overall experience was pushed in a big way in a different direction. [Issue#272]
Team Ninja has overcome the inevitable comparisons with Souls' series, with a game that shines on its own right. Diverse and enjoyable combat mechanics, great setting and that characteristic difficulty of the studio's games, Nioh is a strong candidate for one of the best games of 2017.

An incredibly good combination of Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden and Diablo. This game has a lot to offer: - Durability: You can spend a lot of hours by completing the campaign which is huge with plenty submissions and is very challenging. - The possibilities to build your character are incredible huge.

Nioh is easily the best action RPG I’ve played in some time. It may take some time to get into the swing of it’s melee combat, and the first level doesn’t make a good impression, but anyone looking for some engrossing hack-and-slash combat should pick this up with Nioh hesitation.
Nioh will break you down (and note this clearly, this is an uncompromising game that does not mind crushing your dreams) before it lifts you up, but you soon crave the thrill of mastering a new weapon or toppling a titanic boss. Endless optimization and customization, engaging encounters, and unparalleled combat by yourself or with a friend make Nioh an excellent choice for your next dark action/RPG.
Nioh encourages and challenges the player through its complex combat system and also rewards the player handsomely for the efforts.
The game wears its influences on its sleeve, but also puts forth a Herculean effort toward surpassing them.
The game’s grindy premise has been exhausted for what seems like decade and will leave you feeling more defeated than anything else. The combat mechanics are certainly worth noticing, but the environment restricts them, making it a wash. Do yourself a favor and pass on this compilation of recycled concepts and frustrating gameplay.

An ok game held back by being imbalanced and slow with poor pacing. The control scheme is weird with no option to make O dodge instead of X... which alone almost ruins the experience for me. A LOT of grinding needed to progress.

It's not Dark Souls, but it's the best soulslike game on the market together with Nioh 2.
It took me a lot of time to get hooked to it, the first 3 times I tried I left it there.
But once I got hooked, it's very fun and rewarding.

The popularity of Dark Souls spawned a ton of 'souls-likes' and nioh is considered one of the best. Unfortunately, Dark Souls has become associated with two things - difficulty, and lots of combat.
The thing is, Dark Souls is more than just that. It has great lore. It has great atmosphere. It has amazing level design. Its somewhat philosophical.
Nioh is none of these things. You could say its close to the later Soulsborne games, but even these have higher polish, better lore, better level design.
