Nioh 3 is the natural evolution of a franchise that has truly listened to its community. It retains the hardcore essence and complexity we love, while injecting freshness through the new Ninja Style and open-field exploration. Although it isn't technologically flawless in its larger environments and the narrative won't be winning any Oscars, the gameplay at the controls is, quite simply, second to none.

"The pinnacle of the series" Nioh 3 cements Team Ninja's position as one of the top developers of action fighting games. The wide variety of combat systems, the freedom to create characters, and the semi-open level design give the game a strong identity and a cohesive experience. Despite some minor visual quibbles, the technical performance, depth of mechanics, and battle design make it a high-quality experience aimed at players seeking challenge and precision.
