Nioh 2 is a spectacular punishing game where even the lowest enemy can kill you right there. With perseverance, precise combat, and careful preparation, you can get out of a world full of demons and people. If you like systems and mechanics, your cup is overflowing here as you can do things like breaking things. Be warned, though, this teacher is not kind or cunning. Nioh 2 can break your spirit with endless, frustrating punishments that push you well beyond your limits, but you probably have the spirit of a samurai to be soldiers and taste victory even if everything seems lost.
The deepest and most personalized fight is the glittering jewel that holds the Nioh 2. Train the weapon (or armor) of your choice, decide where to place your stat points and the power to make maximum profits, and shorten the blow time. Nioh 2 introduces new features that add even more complexity to those systems, including dark area and yokai capabilities. Blending counters are my favorite additions; by using a good time, you can expect the opponent to turn red before the attack attacks, but then turn that opportunity into a chance to be able to resist and destroy the attacker. At the beginning of the game, you, scared of those fiery red strikes coming. In the end, you have mastered this technique and can't wait for the enemies to try and hit you with greatness as it may be one of your best chances to gain maximum damage. This all makes for a blast that creates a fun way to add variety and prevents you from being too reliant on your old standby.
Your gameplay time is occupied by tons of key missions and a mutually rewarding mission that provides skill points, body movements, and extra gear. I am very happy with the less-than-optional tasks that are unlike the fast-paced executives, while advanced travelers have a lot of experiences from pass-through to trouble. As be fore, you can also take heavy equipment for heavy drag and get help from up to two other players. Collaborating with friends is easy, and makes it difficult to get along easily, so it's a great option if you stick with a difficult boss.
While some games promote a sense of triumph over challenging players, Nioh 2 has the surnames of delivering a high price in humorous ways. Even the cheapest farmer can kill you with a miserable sword, and many levels set up deadly death traps that force you to look forward to every possible situation. Break the first enemy standing? It has two others that cover it away, and you should have seen and used your gun first – but there's also a yokai ride that can see you when you look at them, so be sure to take it out first. This kind of thing is normal, and although it can be satisfying to look at every corner before looting an item in the first category, it can later become a tedious task. You don’t have to wonder if something is hiding behind a wall or if something is going to fall off the roof; you just know it is, and it is more frustrating than encouraging.
Now, that said, you are still being treated to a smorgasbord of exciting boss battles and doing some really good customization. Analyzing your weapons with deadly weapons, gaining levels and abilities, and collecting buckets for the field to complete the gear setup is satisfying. Boss battles take a high-quality approach, with many encounters and unique difficulties. Some are extremely difficult, and some are pushovers that leave you scratching your head and waiting for the second phase to never come. Despite the inconsistency, I enjoyed many unforgettable battles amid the flood of "This guy is a samurai with a cautious spirit that you won't remember in 20 minutes".
Nioh 2, like Nioh before it, is an endless and extremely punitive ride that you have to measure every available app. Although there are some flaws, the program carries you from the mysterious paintinging pingule into a spectacular samurai.
