NIOH 2 REVIEW SERIES

NIOH 2 REVIEW SERIES

Something that is similar to the Souls series is graves. It also has a linear story, an in-depth tutorial, and is level-based rather than just having a single open world. Nioh 2 is faster and far more visceral than any Souls title, even Bloodborne. This is a game that saw what FromSoft was doing and decided to make it their own, rather than just trying to spit out the same formula. Nioh 2 does continue to offer a fresh take on the Souls formula. If you are struggling, switching things up might help. DonвЂ™t focus too much on these as levels in a stat really doesnвЂ™t do much and you will find yourself with plenty of every weapon. I went with the odachi and dual-hatches since I wanted to focus on strength and stamina. You get to choose two weapons and a spirit animal each with a slight boost in stats. Once you have your character all set up, it is time to decide how you want to play. You can also buy items from them such as arrows, bullets, and healing supplies if you donвЂ™t feel like grinding for them. I always go with the one that makes healing items drop more frequently. Yeah, those little green guys do more than just hang around a shrine after being helped. You can level up, summon help, and offer items to the Kodama you have been collecting. You can rest to heal, but enemies will respawn. Shrines also make a return, acting much like bonfires from the Souls games. I also appreciate that it isnвЂ™t permanent, you can change your looks whenever you like by visiting your hut. I had fun playing around with all the different options.

Speaking of customizing, you actually get to create your own character this time around! The character creator is pretty in-depth, allowing you to customize your human form and Yokai form. Do I want to go with the armor that heals me after a kill even if it slows me down? Or is it better to be quick and use less Ki while attacking? ItвЂ™s easy to customize your sets of armor to fit your playstyle

I love collecting different armor sets and seeing how I can maximize my potential based on my play style. ItвЂ™s a loot-based game and I really enjoy it. Well, ItвЂ™s not much of a shooter but you get the idea. Nioh 2 is the Dark Souls of looter-shooters.

Instead of being too easy, itвЂ™s now a little too tedious. Nioh 2 certainly fixes the issues but introduces a few more while doing so. Too many bosses were humans that were too easy to kill, and most of the normal Yokai enemies didnвЂ™t put up much of a fight. I enjoyed it well enough, but I remember wishing it was more on the difficult side. I played the original Nioh when it first launched back in 2017.
