Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition
4.5/5
White hot
Demon-filled Sengoku Japan and the deepest combat system on this list: stances, ki pulses and transformations.
Help on offer
Co-op summons; Benevolent Graves bring AI helpers.
What you do
Fight in three stances with many weapons, manage stamina with ki pulses, use demon skills and chase loot across missions.
Who it suits
Combat nerds who love depth and loot. Too much for some.
First contact
You create a half-yokai hero and are thrown into tutorials that barely scratch the surface. The first boss is a real wall.
The grind
Missions are separate levels, which suits short sessions. Loot and builds keep you hooked.
When to cool down
Each mission ends with a clean break. One mission is a good evening.
Burns bright
- Deepest combat here
- All expansions included
- Mission structure
Burns you
- Loot overload
- Overwhelming systems
Verdict
A combat masterclass with mission-sized sessions.
