    It's really funny that anyone expected Japanese reviews to be angry about the game. It was already a best-seller on preorders alone. Nioh had an even wilder protrayal of Yasuke and everyone thought it was rad as hell. He had a lightning bear stand. Gettign wacky with samurai & ninja is culture.

    This was my favorite State of Play in a long time. Not every game appeals to me, but it had more than a few really fun surprise announcements. Final Fantasy Tactics, Marvel Fighting Game, Nioh 3, a new game from Suda51 and a sequel to Bloodstained? Well done PlayStation!

    A new one from me. I reviewed Nioh 3 at Kotaku. It's a good game but talking about it is tricky. This review has some of my highest praise ever (these are the best feeling action games ever) and some of my harshest disapproval as well.. kotaku.com/nioh-3-the-k...

    Nioh 3 being €80 for the base game or €120 for the special edition is really pricing it out of what I'm comfortable paying for a game, I think I'll be waiting a little on it.

    This game got memed on something fierce by people not realizing that a joke was, actually intentionally a joke. But it's not only a great take on the Nioh formula, but a shockingly good Final Fantasy game in general. As with most Nioh-likes the DLC adds a huge amount. It evolved a lot after release

    One thing that people may not know is that Yasuke already appeared in a game as a samurai & as Nobunaga’s retainer along with the entire Honnoji incident. It was in a stellar game called Nioh. Ironically this game also starred a historical foreign figure who rose to samurai class, William Adams.

    It's not even the first time Yasuke has been depicted in sengoku-era video games. It's not even the -second- time. I could understand folks missing Samurai Warriors 5 since not everyone's a Musou game lifer, but dude was in Nioh! Both Niohs!

    You know how every Koei game is ultimately historical simulation, even Nioh? Well the Koei mj game, "Mahjong Taikai (tournament)" has you playing with historical figures. DC port of Saturn game has tiny hard-to-read tiles and massive, somewhat disturbing, animated faces. Nostradamus bankrupted me.

    I seriously cannot wait for Nioh 3. It is my most anticipated game of all-time. After struggling to no end with both Niohs to eventually loving their punishing difficulty, I never thought Team Ninja would come back to this series. Not long now.

    There is a character in Nioh 2 (game about cutting up horrific demons) who will delicately appraise tea vessels you find as you play, sometimes casting them aside as rubbish after viewing them carefully on a purple cushion.

    Insane how good the Nioh 3 alpha demo is. It's everything I ever wanted as a sequel already. Nioh 2 gameplay, with added variety in the form of a ninja stance which add a 2nd loot set to manage + an amazing open world, with more custom linear mission in between It's like they made my dream game.

    Dark Souls 2 had one of the best new game pluses ever, so good that the Nioh series copied it. It's even more striking a feature of Nioh than the superficial souls elements like bonfires, souls, and death markers. The whole idea is that NG+ isn't simply fucking with damage numbers, but adding shit.

    9th game beaten of 2025: The First Berserker Khazan 😈 Nioh-lite may sound reductive, but it is 100% apt. While Khazan doesn’t meet or exceed that high bar, it is a solid, challenging game. They need to fix the crashes & trophy bugs, otherwise it’s a great entry in the genre

    Tried the Nioh 3 Demo. Yeah it's crack. Nioh 1 & 2 are phenomenal games. Games that if you haven't played, you should, as even the first game holds up with today's Souls-esque games & each subsequent sequel (from what I can tell with the 3rd's demo) progresses the game in extremely satisfying ways.
