Nioh 2

Excellent entry with improved dual-build combat and rich loot mechanics.

Team Ninja firing on all cylinders with sublime dual-style combat and rewarding exploration.

Exceptional combat depth but Katana Engine visual bugs undermine the experience.

Masterful action game with excellent PS4 Pro graphics and satisfying combat. Unfair boss hitboxes.

Significant improvement with semi-open world and excellent responsive combat. Ninja style adds depth.

Exceptional sequel with deeper combat, yokai systems, multiplayer expeditions; 100+ hours content.

Incredibly well-made action RPG with exceptional combat mechanics, 9 unique weapon types and satisfying boss encounters.

Iterative sequel refines combat with burst counters, Yokai Shift and great weapon variety; plateaus and lacks the original's spark.
