This was my first time playing Nioh, meaning I haven't played the previous parts. I really didn't know what to expect but I'm really happy I decided to buy this game. Definitely one of the best games I've ever played. They really put some effort in making this story, the surroundings, the character designs and even the outfits to get a real traditional Japanese feeling. The missions, the exploring and the collecting of every item available is so much fun...and it's really nice to see yourself grow in strength and skill througout the gameplay. Clearing out areas or camps with enemies or defeating waves of bosses is very thrilling and well designed. A really nice feature, for when you're struggling...is to summon a visitor (or 2), real people who like to help others...so if you want some help defeating that hard boss...that might be an option. However...if you like the challenge and want to become really powerful and skilled, you could try to take down the bosses on your own. I really like that the game let's you decide the difficulty for yourself this way. When I finished the game in Heir's journey I learned that a new game mode was available to turn things up a notch, The Shogun's Journey. At first I was sceptical but they made it very attractive to play the harder gamemode as well. So I went for Shogun mode too. New challenges, some other enemies and a lot more difficulty with levels up to 200+. Really a game that keeps you entertained for many many hours, even after completing everything. For example by helping others... Enjoy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣶⣿⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢠⡀⣸⣤⣾⣿⣿⣦⣠⣿⠀⡀⠀⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡷⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡇⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣀⣾⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣧⡆⢀⠀⢰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⣴⣯⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢁⣦⢰⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣇⣹⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⠀⢀⣀⡄⢀⠤⢄⡴⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡿⣽⡯⡏⢹⣿⠾⣝⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡰⢁⢞⡟⠁⠀ ⠀⢀⡔⠂⠓⢬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⡓⠒⠁⠀⠐⢛⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠀⢀⡞⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⢠⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢀⡾⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢹⣇⠀⠀⢶⣹⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸⣿⠏⠈⠹⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠉⠉⠉⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡏⠀⢰⢸⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠈⠿⡆⠠⡀⢣⠻⣿⣷⠀⠀⢠⣿⡄⠀⠀⠘⣿⡋⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠏⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⢸⠀⢿⣄⠑⠘⢿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⣠⣿⣷⠀⣀⣼⣿⡏⠀⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠉⣉⡀⠀⠘⢸⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠘⠒⣿⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⠟⠁⠀⢀⣿⠇⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠃⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠘⢧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠤⠾⣅⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠷⠦⠄ ⠀⠀⠈⠝⠛⠛⡟⠉⣿⡿⠃⣠⣟⠛⠋⢉⣿⣿⣿⣀⡉⢀⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣯⣟⣿⣿⣻⠙⢲⠶⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣇⡸⡁⣁⠀⣷⠉⠉⡏⢹⣿⡿⣿⡁⠁⢀⣀⣾⣹⣿⣿⣿⠿⡉⠈⢿⣏⣿⡷⠿⣀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢉⡀⡇⣄⣉⣁⣄⣹⢊⣉⣛⣁⣈⣉⣀⣻⣙⣿⣇⣀⣉⣤⣾⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠬⡉⠀⠁⠈⡉⠉⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Nioh 3: Monumental, Magnificent, and Marginally Overstuffed After years of refinement, Team Ninja has finally delivered their magnum opus, a game where the legendary combat system has been honed to absolute perfection. This is the series at its most confident, most polished, and most exhilarating. The combat is simply flawless. Building on everything that worked before, Nioh 3 introduces the brilliant duality of Samurai and Ninja styles, letting you switch between traditional stance-based warfare and lightning-fast aerial acrobatics on the fly. The depth is staggering, the flow is intoxicating, and the feeling of mastering its rhythm is unmatched. This is the absolute peak of the series' mechanical design. https://youtu.be/llA3DynUO7Y The move to interconnected open zones transforms exploration into a genuine joy. Exploration is genuinely rewarding, with every hidden path, enemy base, and optional boss feeding into a satisfying progression loop that constantly makes you stronger. The world is vast - almost too vast. I wouldn't have minded if they trimmed it slightly, because the progression system starts to lose its magic halfway through. When you've already unlocked most of your toolkit, the later hours can feel like going through the motions rather than genuine growth. Enemy variety is solid, with a good roster of foes to test your skills. However, the number of truly new enemies is surprisingly limited. The main story bosses, however, are spectacular- epic, challenging, and beautifully designed encounters that rank among the series' finest.The story? Sadly, it's the weakest link. Despite the ambitious time-travel premise, the narrative feels rushed and forgettable compared to previous entries. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3665504063 One persistent annoyance: the back hitbox for critical strikes in Ninja stance is infuriatingly small. Time and again, you'll position yourself perfectly behind an enemy, ready for those juicy critical hits, only to land regular, non-critical strikes instead because the game doesn't register your position as "behind." The hitbox for what counts as an enemy's back is absurdly narrow. After much frustration, I discovered a small life hack: always aim slightly left of the enemy's spine. For some reason, that's where the game actually recognizes you as being behind them. In a game this precise, such a finicky mechanic is genuinely frustrating. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3664366478 Despite its flaws, Nioh 3 stands as the series' crowning achievement. It takes everything that worked in its predecessors, polishes it to a brilliant sheen, and delivers the definitive Nioh experience. If you're new to the series, you can absolutely start here without missing a beat—it's that complete, that refined, that monumental. A flawed masterpiece that still soars higher than any game in the franchise before it.

I could say that I prefer the level design, story, and general vibes of Nioh 2 more but...man I don't even think that matters at this point. Every time I play a new Nioh game its like coming home again, or putting on the most form fitting glove of your life, or eating your favorite food from your childhood that mom used to make. Its one of the best combat systems ever put to a video game and Team Ninja knows it. The thrill of the fight is like crack, and I can never have enough. I love this series so much and I never want it to stop.

25 hours on the demo I played the demo quite a bit, and i tried some things during the wait for the main game. I now have a few hours past that content, so i can comment and give my recommend. This is not a souls game Easy mistake to make. It has paced combat and resource management with periodic check points. Nioh 3 is based on loot progression not character stats. It has character stats and scaling, but they mostly determine what equipment you can use and NG(new game) power. Many players will tell you the real game starts in NG+ when gearing becomes a madhouse of perks, skills, and theory craft. Gear drops, you mod it and tweak it and level it up to be perfect for the type of game you are playing. Immediately after the demo You can play the demo so i dont have to tell you too much, but i saw some comments in the forums, so ill speak on what i saw. Some players opined that the open world is no good, and missions are boring. After the demo each area of the open field is sort of like a stage of Nioh 1 or 2. They are less open and more traditional feeling, except that they are connected to each other. Maisaka is probably the first place you will go and at the far end of it is a cave. Its part of the open field but it is an enormous dungeon with multiple levels and paths and lots of hidden goodies. After finishing it, it becomes a battle scroll mission. Battle scroll missions are traditional Nioh style sessions. They have a clear start and finish with a boss. These old fashioned missions are still here, but they are also here in the open field as a part of your seamless play. The demo should be enough to tell you if you enjoy the moment to moment. After the demo it just gets more complex. I recommend it Know what you are buying. I have hundreds of hours in all the souls games and elden ring. I have nioh 1 and 2, so i knew this was not the same thing. Its similar enough, but so different that all i can really say is try the demo. I absolutely recommend the game for people who like exploring, action games, looters, and even anime fans. A stray thought id like to share. . . At one moment i was playing as ninja sneaking behind bandits and assassinating them and i thought to myself, "this feels like when i played Tenchu almost 30 years ago." It was a good feeling.

So i got cranking away at the demo, and i'm a veteran from Nioh 2. Nioh 3 is a great addition to the series. Combat is just as fluid, great implementation of the new dual class system, open world feels very nice so far. My one singular weird bit i am having with the game. When the game is in focus, it runs like im choking my GPU with my bare hands. The moment i move my cursor over to my second monitor and click once, suddenly it runs buttery smooth and no issues. I get some pretty bad fps drops when i get a notification from like steam or discord but other than that the game feels great. Hopefully this weird issue is resolved but that is my only gripe. Character Creator still goated as always, and our characters finally have a voice! Overall im very happy and super excited to dig deeper into this game and squeeze every last bit that i can out of this game. Mind you i also have everything cranked to max on a ryzen 9 7000 series cpu and AMD 7900 XT from XFX.
