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

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...
