The fantastic game has earned not so fantastic PC version. If you are not afraid of gamepad play and high difficulty, give Nioh a chance. Only then you’ll understand that label Nioh as a Samurai Dark Souls is surprisingly inaccurate. [Issue#283]

Labelling Nioh as "another Dark Souls clone", just doesn't do it justice. The Complete Edition is a package brimming with content, challenging gameplay, deep combat mechanics, Diablo-like looting and a fun crafting system to boot. It does not stick to its peers' blueprint, but it endeavours to evolve in a different beast, and for the most part, succeeds.

If you're lucky enough to not have been plagued with port issues, then you'll find Nioh: Complete Edition to be a wonderfully difficult action game. Though it brings along a high level of difficulty that seems to be en vogue for recent action games, its emphasis on faster action makes it a perfect complement for the competition. Similarly, the loot drops are a great addition, and the oddball story makes the game feel more distinct. It would've been nice to see more PC-specific optimization, but Nioh is worth checking out for fans of difficult action games.

Nioh 1 was good but Nioh 2 is a masterpiece and made me a fan of the series. Simply one of the best games ever created. If you like combat and character builds this is it!

An interesting world history and Japanese folklore inspired action-adventure soulslike RPG that attempts to deepen combat, but lets everything else fall behind. Level design and enemy variety is strained, and the potential of combat never get to shine due to sometimes abysmal encounter and boss design as well as balancing.

Não consigo passar do 1º Boss! Isso mostra minha incompetência em SousLike, talvez se eu fosse bom eu conseguisse jogar.

Clearly with the focus on combat and challenging enemies, there are similarities with Nioh and From Software’s Souls games, but unlike other games that have built themselves to be copies of the successful formula, the team behind Nioh have added their style into the mix to make it more than another game trying to lure the fans of hardcore action RPGs to it. Those additional ideas build on an already solid foundation, but enable Nioh to standout above the rest of the inspired clones with its hectic, faster paced and varied combat and addictive loot mechanics, to go toe-to-toe with the company that initiated this new wave of challenging combat, going as far as to better them in some areas.

Players with a half-decent computer and a controller will find themselves lost in a game that goes above and beyond what’s expected from the genre.

Nioh: Complete Edition is a great game. That much should be expected as the original release was. However, much like all Koei Tecmo PC ports, this release suffers from some glaring omissions and limitations. Fortunately, Team Ninja have already announced some patches to start improving the release.

A fantastic show of force from the long-standing Team Ninja, but one that feels like it didn’t truly understand the mass appeal of the genre. Spruced up with the group’s signature style, Nioh only falters with its less captivating world. We can appreciate the heritage, but it won’t grab everyone.

NiOh: Complete Edition is a lazy port of the original game: no support for mouse and keyboard, no settings inside the game (you have to use the launcher). Nonetheless is an edition that offers a lot of contents and all the three DLCs. It is a must buy for all the soulslike lovers.

If you have ever praised the sun, or if you have any fear of the old blood, Nioh is an absolute must play. A fantastic and deep combat system, coupled with great boss design and a difficult yet fair effort/reward loop put Nioh right up there with its not so distant brothers in Dark Souls and Bloodborne. If I were to assign a score to the game, simply for its content it would absolutely be a solid “A”. Unfortunately, even though it is the Complete Edition, this is not necessarily the superior version of the game. If you only play games on PC, this game is still a no-brainer to pick up, but if you’re like me and have consoles as well as a computer, I think the PS4 may still be the place to play Nioh.

A team Ninja masterpiece. Even with its flaws the combat is the best and puts other games like Elden ring to shame. Great enemies, extreme progression, FULL GAME CO-OP!!!!

Çıktığı zamana göre grafikleri kötüydü fakat oynanış açısından build açısından ve loot açısından çok zengin bir oyun. Oyun bittikten sonra abyss ile oyun süresi daha da uzuyor.

Picked this game up during an Epic Games Store giveaway. At first, I really enjoyed the combat and the build opportunities. However, after several hours, there's not a lot new and the boss fights have been underwhelming when compared to Team Ninja's better action games, Ninja Gaiden 2004, II, and Razor's Edge. It seems like this game is meant more for the Diablo-style, loot-grinding gamer that doesn't mind doing the same thing ad nauseam for hundreds of hours. I give it a little lower than half marks because it looks good and plays good, but really gets same-y too early.
