Nioh 2 The Complete Edition

This game needs more ratings. I feel like people are strongly missing out by not playing this :/.

Easily one of the best non-fromsoft soulslikes

this must be absolutely astounding bc I'm playing Nioh 1 right now and loving the shit out of it. If this is that much better....

Im playing the first Nioh game right now and desperately wondering if it gets better. Might just skip here since the reception is so much warmer

those light rpg elements are so boring

Only thing that is better with the first game is that you play as William.

This game was in desperate need of an "RPG" element that wasn't tied to stats and combat. Narrative, mission structure, world building etc. all just devoid of anything I remotely care about. I really don't think missions work for a Souls-like RPG, this needed a Souls type semi-connected world or even DeS style, just something to make the world feel like something.

Combat is very fun, some encounters are a bit ass to deal with but usually in side missions so "eh". But yeah held back heavily by not offering much else, which makes some stretches of the game get lame when you aren't dealing with refreshing threats or interesting encounters.
