Abstract: The easiest way to describe Nioh is a Japanese Dark Souls. This also demonstrates how dangerous it is to compare things to Dark Souls, because Dark Souls is itself Japanese. What I mean is, whereas From Software's game draws its inspiration from Western f...

Fast-paced, rewarding combat, Japanese historical fiction setting, A quality fix for Dark Souls addicts, Excellent level design, Functional co-op multiplayer
Overwhelming Diablo-like loot drops, Could have used a map, Overcomplicated controls
Yes. There's no “Dark Souls 4” or “Bloodborne 2” from From Software on the horizon, but Nioh is a great way for veteran “Soulslike” players to get to get another fix...

A unique take on the hardcore action RPG, Satisfyingly speedy combat, Clever, shortcutladen stage designs
Extra complexity doesn't add much, Reused levels are a bummer, Severely limited online play
Though it doesn't outshine Dark Souls, Nioh's distinctly Japanese setting, thoughtful level design, and demanding difficulty lead to some supremely satisfying payoffs...

Abstract: Nioh 's pedigree is rich in elements borrowed from several similar titles, including Bloodborne and Dark Souls, but it ultimately fails to differentiate itself when all is said and done. The Japanese-themed samurai story is intriguing upon initial glance...

Abstract: I have a confession: I'm not a fan of Dark Souls. I don't know what it was about the action RPG that never gripped me, but I never found enjoyment in playing a game that was created mainly just to torture it's audience with a ridiculous difficulty level a...
Abstract: I won't sugar coat it. I didn't make it far in Nioh. I put a deadline on myself to write this review, but after torturing through boss fights that took upwards of 20 tries and individual stages that soaked up entire afternoons, I have to bookend myself so...
