  • 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...

  • Nioh is a very impressive offering from Team Ninja, mostly thanks to the excellent combat and well-crafted main missions. From Software finally have some serious competition in the sub-genre they invented...

  Published: 2017-02-15, Author: Heather , review by: kotaku.com

  • Abstract:  On first glance, Nioh does not seem remarkable. A generic looking action RPG in the vein of Dark Souls, Nioh seems more like a lost Playstation 2 curiosity than a killer AAA exclusive. Ignoring it would be a terrible mistake though. Nioh is one of the be...

  • Story is a bit bland, The first level is easily the worst part of the game
  • 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 thi...
