Yes, Nioh 2 is a Souls-like: Explore and unlock shortcuts, fight in tight spaces with a messed up camera, lose all your XP, and maybe level up at shrines. All blended with ninja gaiden style combat and hack&slash/Diablo-style looting. That said, if performing a spectacular 30-hit combo followed by 10 perfectly timed Ki pulses just to get oneshot by a grunt's backhand slap is your definition of fun, you'll love Nioh.

Nioh 2 is essentially Ninja Gaiden, Dark Souls and Path of Exile mixed together. A BRILLIANT combo with some jank and unfairness to it. Level design is notably weak, areas and enemy types (lots of enemy types, btw. The game is just huge) get reused all the time, storytelling is admittedly not great even though I did make me feel something at the end, the endless spewing of loot can be very overwhelming, UI design is clunky, some animations are wonky, hitboxes can be rough, and the difficulty curve is INSANE with a few difficulty spikes here and there. And believe me, there's some massive ones. One of which actually made me give up on the game for a couple years, but coming back to it I see now that it was a major skill issue on my part. But with that being said, once you find a weapon that works well with you and you figure out how to ki pulse and weave stances together in combat seamlessly, you'll find what is possibly the greatest combat system in gaming. The flow in Nioh 2's combat is unimaginably good. It puts all of the other soulslike combat systems to shame, and I'm saying this as a MAJOR fan of all of the Fromsoft games. You aren't methodically attacking your enemy, dodging away, and attacking again. At a high skill level, you are always up in an enemy's face, actively creating your own opportunities in combat, weaving stances and movesets together instantaneously and counteracting against every single damn move the enemy throws at you. You truly feel as if you mastered your weapon of choice, and every single possible maneuver you could achieve with it. You are one with your weapon. The blade is an extension of your very being. The only thing that is preventing you from taking down the toughest yokai in existence is the ability to persevere and hone your own skill. Master yourself and you master the game. Very few games out there gives you this feeling. Very few games come close to achieving this feeling. Nioh 2 is one of the few. Every single move the katana has, and all of the other weapons Nioh 2 has, feels fantastic to use. And every single weapon feels really unique. Nioh 2 has 11 weapon types, and each of them has a larger moveset to use than entire games' combat systems. Seriously, the moveset for ONLY the katana dwarfs the moveset God of Ragnarok's entire combat system, and Ragnarok had 3 weapons to use! It's absurd how in-depth the combat feels, like Team Ninja clearly gave the combat every bit of effort they can possibly muster here and it shows! The build variety is also insane. You have so many options. On top of the massive moveset variety that all 11 weapon types have, you have yokai shifts and soul core abilities, onmyo, ninjutsus and so much more. The character creator is one of the best I've ever interacted with too. You create the yokai slayer you dream of in exactly the way you want, and in new game plus, buildcrafting is paramount if you wish to survive even the most minute encounter with the most pathetic yokai. Dream of the Nioh (final NG+) is no joke. Enemies are more numerous, faster, and stronger than ever before. If you didn't plan your build correctly, you are getting one-shotted by that one gaki in the beginning of the game. The NG+ that Nioh 2 has to offer is the best I've seen, with only NieR Automata's NG+ surpassing it. But, to be fair, there's no surpaassing NieR Automata's NG+, so that's not very fair to Nioh 2, lol The coop is the best I've seen in the soulslike genre. It is so well done. The only thing that I really see wrong with it is that there's no PvP, but PvP was the worst part of Nioh 1 so I don't see that as much of a loss. I do love the soundtrack. The music is great. It varies from pretty good 8/10 tracks to 10/10 tracks that leave you tearing up a little. Like the game itself, the music isn't perfect, but there is an undeniable potential for something fantastic. The music is in the 9/10 range more often than not. The music that plays during the fight against (very minor spoilers) Magara Naotaka has probably my favorite overall. Everything from 3:00 onwards so damned perfectly during the fight. Sounds heroic yet tragic. I love it. It hits a level of triumphantness that I wish Fromsoft would try to reach for in their music. And I'm a major fanboy of Fromsoft's music, they have some of the best composers ever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUrdQPs6CoI Overall, the game has moments of utter brilliance in nearly every section of the game, which are hindered with some inconsistencies and some questionable design choices. You may die a countless number of times in Nioh 2. You may bounce off of Nioh 2 multiple times, just like I have (stupid owl boss), but trust me when I say this: If you stick with it, if you perservere through it all, you will find one of the finest ARPGs you will ever play. Nioh 2 has a lot of flaws and it is much more difficult (sometimes in an unfair way too) than most soulslike games out there, but what Nioh 2 successfully sets out to do make it 100% worth playing. As of the time I am writing this review, Nioh 2 is the greatest non-Fromsoftware soulslike ever created. Nioh 2 gets a very hearty 9/10 recommendation from me. It's damn near a 10/10. Your move, Team Ninja. Iron out the flaws, get better writers, focus on quality instead of quantity, streamline things JUST ENOUGH and add more depth. Make an effort to make a truly compelling story, and you will be making what could possibly be the greatest ARPG ever created for many, many years to come. I hope you manage to get out of this slump you had with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Rise of the Ronin, Team Ninja. Now's your chance to blow everyone's minds away with Nioh 3, when it comes out in a little less than a month. And, my God, I hope you do.

9.4/10 Personally, I wouldn't recommend playing NIOH1 and NIOH2 back-to-back in one sitting, as the two games share significant repetition. Playing for extended periods straight can lead to severe fatigue. If you only plan to play through the game once casually, focusing primarily on the story and combat, then it's not a major issue. However, if you intend to thoroughly explore every detail, play through at least four times, and ultimately unlock all achievements, the weariness and frustration from playing both back-to-back will become increasingly apparent. From a gameplay perspective, NIOH2 does offer a richer experience than NIOH1. It builds upon its predecessor by introducing several interesting new gameplay mechanics and systems, while also refining and improving numerous details from the predecessor. This allows it to maintain a familiar feel while delivering some genuinely fresh gameplay experiences. However, this is largely thanks to NIOH1 establishing such a solid foundation for its gameplay mechanics, enabling NIOH2 to expand upon it. Second, NIOH2 fundamentally retains the gameplay systems of NIOH1. Consequently, despite the new additions, this sense of novelty doesn't last long. Take my experience as an example: I just finished replaying NIOH1 and unlocked all achievements, then dove straight into NIOH2. The freshness and enthusiasm it offered faded almost completely within 20 hours. Instead, an increasingly palpable sense of frustration and fatigue took hold. After all, NIOH2 essentially amounts to a copy-paste of its predecessor—whether in its action mechanics, combat system, map design, or core gameplay, it remains virtually identical to the original. Third, in my view, not all of NIOH2's adjustments and changes to the predecessor deliver a better experience. For certain gameplay elements, I personally still prefer the settings of the NIOH1. From a narrative standpoint, I find NIOH1's story more compelling. NIOH2's plot unfolds before the events of the first game, functioning as a prequel. NIOH1, however, is set during the late Sengoku period of Japan, weaving a rich ensemble tale through the eyes of William Adams (Miura Anjin). This era of Japanese history gave birth to numerous legendary figures. NIOH1 masterfully weaves these elements into a fantastical saga of the late Sengoku period's warlords. In contrast, NIOH2's historical backdrop feels comparatively muted. It adopts anime-inspired tropes and JRPG narrative techniques, focusing its storytelling on a core group led by the protagonist to reflect the era through intimate details. While this narrative style differs from its predecessor and has its own merits, its overly familiar tropes inevitably feel tiresome. Furthermore, the game repeatedly emphasizes themes commonplace in Japanese anime by its later stages: mutual understanding, harmonious coexistence, and letting go of hatred. While NIOH1 touched upon similar themes, it did so subtly and integrated them seamlessly into the plot. Personally, I preferred NIOH1's ensemble-driven narrative, which delivered a sense of grandeur and epic storytelling. In NIOH2, the plot truly began to feel compelling only towards the end of the main story, when William's return brought all the nostalgia and memories from the first game flooding back. Unfortunately, by this point, the game was essentially over. As for the DLC content, it objectively fills in some gaps in the game's lore and setting, making certain elements more logically consistent. But ultimately, it devolves into a rather melodramatic family saga—the legendary arch-villain turns out to be the protagonist's mother's brother, and all the fighting boils down to familial grudges and fated enmity... In summary, NIOH2 is objectively a masterpiece not to be missed, and I highly recommend it. Subjectively, however, my prolonged marathon playthrough of both games left me fatigued, affecting my enjoyment of NIOH2. That said, purely in terms of unlocking all achievements, NIOH2 is considerably easier than NIOH1. Consequently, I only played through NIOH2 once with serious dedication, then unlocked all achievements as quickly as possible, and then decided to take a break. I won't be revisiting NIOH2 for quite some time. Therefore, I personally recommend that if you've just finished playing NIOH1 and played it very seriously, you might want to take a break before starting NIOH2. This approach will give you more freshness and sustain your enthusiasm for longer, making it less likely to burn out quickly. Beyond that, NIOH2 remains an excellent game.
