  • 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...

  Published: 2017-02-02, Author: Jeffrey , review by: eurogamer.net

  • Abstract:  Team Ninja's new demon-slaying samurai epic has one hell of an elevator pitch: this is Ninja Gaiden meets Dark Souls. Nioh takes the silky smooth colourful Japanese texture of Team Ninja's storied hack-and-slash affair and merges it with the light RPG str...

  • Hard-hitting action, Sophisticated and engaging combat systems, Punishing difficulty level, Flexible character progression
  • Bosses may be too brutal, Not the strongest or most coherent story
  • The more I played Nioh, the more it sank its teeth into me. This isn't a lesser alternative to Dark Souls, nor is it trying too hard to be Dark Souls. There are clear inspirations which have been taken from FromSoftware's iconic franchise, but functionall...

  • Nioh is an absolutely engaging game, that's soul-crushing, yet addictive and satisfying. Nioh continued to impress to the very end, delivering an enthralling experience that's challenging, but fair in its execution.9Souls CrushingNioh was reviewed on Play...

  • Great setting, An abundance of systems to tinker with, Compelling moment to moment gameplay
  • Inconsistent environments, Frame-rate and frame-pacing concerns, Rating (out of 10): 8, We played a review copy of Nioh on the PS4 Pro. It's available for the PS4 and PS4 Pro from February 7 in the US at $60 and February 8 in India at Rs. 3,999, ->

  • Nioh could well take over 100 hours if you set out to master its many side missions on top of its tough campaign, but it's a challenge well worth taking. The way it builds on its most obvious inspirations with a highly refined combat system and an unexpec...
