    Nioh 2 offers flashy gameplay with extensive content and a challenging experience, appealing to players who enjoy complex mechanics. However, some users find the multitude of buttons, menus, and UI elements overwhelming, preferring the simplicity of titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Ultimately, the gameplay can be polarizing, with some players needing time to appreciate its depth.

    • “If you want flashy gameplay, almost infinite content, and a bit of a challenge, Nioh 2 is for you!”
    • “I played the demo once and bounced off hard: 'too many buttons, too many menus, too much UI, and too many mechanics!' I thought; I preferred Dark Souls/Bloodborne for its 'purity.' But one day nearly two years ago, I found myself playing the game again and it all just clicked.”
    • “So, I played the demo once and bounced off hard: 'too many buttons, too many menus, too much UI and too many mechanics!' I thought; I preferred Dark Souls/Bloodborne for its 'purity.'”
    • “I did further research and saw gameplay footage on YouTube for the collection which shows blood splatter effects have been removed from the 'collection', so I returned this version, unopened, for a refund.”

  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Lastly, I'll just say that you don't play Nioh 2 for the story, characters, or music.”
    • “There's story, characters, and lore to be had, of course, but it's not vital to anything and doesn't pique my curiosity like Soulsborne does.”
