It is a fantastic, complete collection that includes not only two of the most interesting action games of the last few years, but also every piece of content released for the title.

The Nioh Collection crams two great games and six story expansions into one complete, content-stuffed package. Despite its extensiveness, the lack of exclusive content or noteworthy new features make it a hard sell in its entirety. It gives Ninja Theory a good excuse to try and grab some more attention for some legitimately great games, but calling these remasters is perhaps a bit of an embellishment.

The Nioh Collection takes advantage of the ps5's amazing power, but it only makes sense to buy it for new players.

Overall, therefore, the remasters of Nioh 1 and 2 boast a solid and satisfying performance profile, while not marking a clear step forward compared to the previous versions of the two titles, at least as regards the general performance of the graphics sector.

Nioh Collection is the best way to play NIoh & Nioh 2 in early 2021. But if you have already played it, the interest is limited.

The Nioh Collection consists of two demanding games in the so-called Soulsborne genre, a genre that dances in its best moments on a thin line between extreme frustration and boundless happiness. The two Nioh games offer over 100 hours of just that; it is extremely difficult and frustrating – but also rewarding and fair. In the PlayStation 5 version, the two games are better than ever, but at the same time, the jump from the original versions is not great. However, if you are a fan of the genre and have missed the Nioh games before, there is nothing to doubt.

The collection for the PlayStation 5 is the perfect gift for Hidetaki Miyazaki's fans, who are waiting for an Elden Ring by FromSoftware right now.

A remastering that is worth buying as long as you do not own the previous games, but that is somewhat short of improvements if you already have them. However, I think it's a great opportunity to play them with all their DLCs (which are quite a lot) and optimized for the new generation.

The Nioh Collection is certainly a work of good workmanship with the Team Ninja who wanted to dust off above all the old chapter of the series and bring it, hand in hand with the most recent Nioh 2, on PlayStation 5 with mainly technical improvements thanks to the granites 60 fps and to the novelty of 120 fps in full versions with all DLCs (which can also be purchased separately from the collection with the names of Nioh Remastered - The Complete Edition and Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition). In addition, both productions enjoy almost lightning-fast loading screens and support the possibility of cross-save with PS4, with the possibility of importing your own saves from PS4 directly to PS5 using the cloud (PlayStation Plus is required).

The Nioh collection is back on PS5 in a pampered setting, improved fluidity, with all the extras, and takes advantage of the playstation 5... However, this will not be a package for any enthusiast fighting the mighty Yokai.

Nioh 2 is an fast, frantic and fluid action-RPG experience that will appeal to fans of Code Vein, Dark Souls and Sekiro for its intricate combat and role-playing systems, extensive character customisation and striking historic fantasy Japanese setting. While the storytelling for the main narrative mostly falls flat and is confusing to follow, the rest of the package more than holds up against its predecessor. The game presents a great challenge for those willing to put in the time to master its numerous playstyles it caters, so it might not be a great fit for those seeking a more casual adventure.

If you're a glutton for punishment and precision, look no further, as you battle your way through a dark, monster-laden vision of the Sengoku period.

It is simply magnificent what Team Ninja accomplished in the process of remastering two games so recent and critically acclaimed. The Nioh Collection is, without a doubt, the best place to get to know the franchise and an excellent preview of what gamers can expect from games on Sony's new generation console.

Many will continue to compare Nioh to the Dark Souls franchise because of its difficulty and trial-and-error gameplay, but it has presented itself as something unique.

The remastered versions of NIOH and NIOH 2 are outstanding. Visually they are nearly equal to each other and both still maintain the core enjoyment of the series, which is dying over and over again while slowly but surely progressing. Of course, those deaths are in 4K with a high frame rate via PlayStation 5, which makes the experience far more entertaining.
