After clearing pretty much everything in all three Dark Souls games, and at the end of Bloodborne (what a ride, I don't want to end it) I've been looking for something to keep my Souls-like fix going. I picked up Lords of the Fallen, and like it enough, but Nioh's the shit. I like it better than Sekiro, which I also picked up.
I put about three hours into Sekiro last week, and haven't picked it back up. I'll get back to it eventually surely, but I bought Nioh after work today, and had to force myself to put it down. It's almost 3am, and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow faaaak lol
The combat in this is so tight. I love the stance switches, and being to able to recoup stamina to keep the action going. It's so addicting. The level design is way better than I thought it was going to be too, reminds me of DS2.
Anyway, I'm so glad to hear about Nioh 2. I love a good franchise, and they way they're weaving historically accurate and mythological Japanese lore is as tasty as the juicy combat. It's great to see Team Ninja in fine form again too. I was never a big DOA player (dat beach volleyball though), but I loved Ninja Gaiden on the OG Xbox.
