There's a lot of loot in this game, but my god is there not a good inventory system. But to be honest, I'd probably prefer hallway levels over what the game have. They're not quite hallway-to-hallway linear though, so there is some exploration to be done. I don't dread going into a level, in fact its kind of easy to navigate, but they do nothing interesting in the levels that they all blend in together. The level designs in this game are nothing to write home about. I could talk about my discoveries using all the mechanics this game gives you, but the review would go on forever, so just know: This game does give you more depth that what you will ever need. That stayed true for the entirety off the bosses later in the game and even when they started introducing tougher enemies. After dying to the first boss multiple times, I'd found myself switching my stances all the time to avoid certain attack patterns. All it did was switch your moveset, so why not just se the high stance so I can get the most damage output? After getting my shit stomped in the first area by common enemies, I learned that different stances have different dodges, which I couldn't see how impactful that was I'd just stay in mid stance all the time since it seemed to have the most iframe-distance-endlag ratio. At first I imagined that the stance switching mechanic wasn't going to be all that impactful. Much to my surprise though, it turned out to be an excellent action game with a lot to differentiate itself from dark souls, so much so that I don't see the comparison when this game launched initially.įor being an action game, it has an incredible amount of depth in its gameplay.

I came into Nioh expecting it to be a kind of decent dark souls game with not much worth noting, considering I've been recommended to skip this title and head towards the supposedly better sequel.
