As one of the world game’s hits in 2017, Nioh is an action-role-playing game that combines the ideas from From Software and the strengths inherent from Team Ninja. And it continues to improve itself further with the release of quality DLCs, drawing gamers into fascinating stories in the Sengoku era. And until 2020, Nioh 2 is back and will continue its success in the past.

If you’ve ever cleared Nioh, you will surely be impressed with Nioh 2 when it puts on a new layer of clothes with strong and rough bosses, with difficulty in each boss battle and creativity in the character building. Although still possessing familiar gameplay like the old version, the core elements of the game are refined by Team Ninja on many different levels, providing a familiar experience that is also very new. And these tweaks are rated by players as quite subtle.

However, many players still find that, when they perform individual weapon movements, cast Onmyo spells, use Ninjutsu traps, and take advantage of the weapons’ combined power. They are almost there many changes that should have been a little better for Team Ninja. Nonetheless, familiarity also makes it easy for players to catch up with the game, although there are still many questions: is it not a new version or just half-hearted. However, it took more than 40 hours in the main story for players to see the significant changes of Nioh 2, and that continued to keep the players playing for hours on end with the console.

Entering the game, players will get acquainted with a new character creator instead of framing in William in the previous game. This character creator has many in-depth options so that players can create a Shiftling – a yokai hybrid type – that suits your appearance and aesthetic requirements. However, with an always-silent character like Shiftling, Nioh 2 seems to be struggling to tell the full story. But fortunately, with the presence of the great companion, Tokichiro, we can understand a little more about what will happen on our long journey.

Taking the starting time of 50 after the first part, Team Ninja still retains many characters, events, and legends from the previous section to create a connection for the two parts and help the character builder become lost lukewarm. Nioh 2 will still be a historical adventure with legendary characters, cruel lords, gruesome creatures, and important mascots for spiritual life. You will still hear familiar names like the samurai clan Oda Nobunaga for example. Although this conquest may not seem clear, it will become more reckless and motivated in the second half.

This is still a factor that attracts players in every boss battle or monster fight in combat. As mentioned above, if a player has ever cleared Nioh 1, they have the skills to enter Nioh 2 and need to learn a few more tricks like activating the Ki castle in the middle of the game to avoid overexertion. Learn a little about the three main postures and body movements with weapons, including axes and scythes. At the same time, you will also have to master a new skill, Yokai Shift – a skill “turning Saiyan” by accumulating enough force – will allow you to transform into three types: Brute, Feral, and Phantom, respectively, with spells, melee, and war. You can also use the Burst Counter to stun opponents and use Soul Core items from the defeated yokai.

Nioh 2 has a system for collecting items with rules. You can equip yourself with three steps of Soul Core, and they are all measured by the force bar that will be filled through the normal attack and defense. Soul Cores can increase passive stats, strengthen the Guardian God, and be recycled to improve stats or provide rare crafting items. The game also gives players up to 13 nonlinear skill trees for nine weapons. You can use the skills and spells involved in combat to unlock more skills, and the game will give you plenty of space to choose an appropriate skill tree freely. The game also allows you to increase armor, increase kusarigama power, set traps, perform slow-motion action scenes, and many other exciting things you can do with a dozen available abilities.

Another praiseworthy whore of Nioh lies in the screen’s design now that the enemies will be smarter and have a “harder” way of deploying, making each game more stressful. Not only that, you will feel the challenge of the game every time you enter the Dark Realm, where the Ki bar will recover very slowly, and the yokai spells cannot be retained. These areas are not easily cleared and will be cleverly intertwined according to the level of the player. Each level can have many Dark Realm. Every time you enter here, it is almost impossible to use a small map and be forced to destroy a certain enemy to purify the area.

The challenge in each boss battle will be increased, and it will take a lot of practice time to get used to their rhythm. The bosses will often activate the Dark Realm quickly to bring you to the worst outcome, so you need to be more active in each battle. If winning becomes too difficult, the Benenolent Grave mechanism will help you have more allies to fight and leave an NPC version of yourself to help other players to collect the normal parts. Valuable at your tent.

In general, with about 45 hours for the main story, ignoring the aspects re-applied from the previous version, players can be delighted with a Nioh 2, not only with the difficulty that the game brings but also in an intriguing storyline, a diverse character creation, and unique mechanics for both sides of the enemy. We always give us the thrill of each fight phase but also is the excitement of having won.
