A great sequel that expands the Nioh universe
Nioh 3 once again proves that Team Ninja remains among the very best in the genre when it comes to designing deep, demanding, and highly addictive combat systems. The game excels in combat, exploration, and player freedom, and thanks to its two distinct combat styles, new mechanics such as Mist, a more open world structure, and well-integrated progression systems, it delivers an experience that is both immensely satisfying and deeply engaging. It is the kind of game that can effortlessly keep players invested for dozens, if not hundreds, of hours

The most innovative Nioh game to date, but if you’re already burned out on the formula from the first two games, it still might not hook you.

Nioh 3 modifies the series formula, producing mixed results. The game features a more varied action combat system for fights and challenges. As far as action goes, it still features some of the best mechanics in the genre, even if it's on the easier side, and regular enemies are exploitable. Storytelling and worldbuilding lack depth, but the headliner has always been getting lost and fighting for survival in these types of games. At worst, this is just another decent soulslike action RPG that doesn't break the mould. The big open world is welcome, but it does not deliver on its full potential due to uninspired level design.
With its new open field format, Nioh 3 is undoubtedly the best entry in the series yet, giving players more freedom to explore and making the experience feel more seamless. Add on top of that additional new features, such as the ability to switch between samurai and ninja styles on the fly and being able to freely respec, and you have a stellar example of just how good the Soulslike genre can be. This is an early game of the year contender, without a doubt.
NiOh 3 is a classic example of a sequel: highly polished, incredibly satisfying in combat, but not necessarily revolutionary. The dual-style system, fluid attack combinations, and well-designed bosses make every victory genuinely enjoyable. The graphics are solid, and the cutscenes can make a great impression... although it's hard to say that the game stands out from the rest of the genre. It's primarily a treat for fans of the series who know what they want.

Nioh 3 evolves the series' formula with semi-open world maps and an even deeper and more dynamic combat system, maintaining challenging and highly satisfying encounters. Despite stumbles in the narrative, enemy repetition, and visual aspects, the gameplay remains the highlight of the experience, and should easily please fans of action RPGs.

Nioh 3 is Team Ninja's finest, it improved on what made Nioh 1 and 2 special without losing its identity along the way, a soulslike with a fastpaced combat and tons of exploration.

Nioh 3 has two pillars: Its duality of ninja and samurai combat and an open world filled with things to do. Fans of the franchise will especially enjoy the fast-paced action and speed, but will also be the victims of its main flaw

Nioh 3 is a smart evolution of a winning formula. Team Ninja successfully transitions to an Open Field structure without losing the tightness of its level design, while the new Samurai/Ninja duality adds a fresh tactical layer to an already stellar combat system. The game feels fairer and more accessible than its predecessors, removing artificial frustration in favor of readable challenges. While the narrative plays it safe and side content remains repetitive, the core loop is stronger than ever. A must-play for fans of the genre.

Nioh 3 is a superbly enjoyable culmination of action RPG fun and its open environments are bursting with so much rewarding content that it's hard to put it down whenever you start playing. It may be a big change of pace but I'm incredibly happy with everything it offers. 👹
Nioh 3 is definitely a more action-oriented game and less of a Soulslike than its predecessors, thanks to the new Ninja mode and the open areas, which give the experience a significant boost. I believe ARPG fans really shouldn’t miss it. Team Ninja’s latest effort perfectly blends adrenaline-fueled action with character build customization, featuring refined gameplay that now feels like it has reached the series’ peak.

Nioh 3 is the confident culmination of the entire series and one of the best souls-like titles of recent years. It offers a top-notch combat system, bold innovations, and a strong identity of its own that doesn't try to copy FromSoftware. Although the game is hampered by recycled enemies, weaker side content, and outdated technical aspects, its gameplay, bosses, and atmosphere easily outweigh these shortcomings. For fans of the genre, it's a must-have, and for newcomers, it's a challenge worth taking on.

Nioh 3 is without doubt the best chapter in the series: brutal and punishing, but extremely rewarding.

Nioh 3 is a confident continuation of the series that preserves its identity while expanding upon it. It’s not a game for everyone; it requires patience, a willingness to learn, and a desire to experiment. However, if you embrace its rules, you’ll find a complex action RPG with deep systems, intense combat, and an atmosphere that blends history with dark mythology.

Overall, Nioh 3 understands what made its predecessors great, all while upgrading and expanding accordingly.
The undisputed masters of the Hack and Slash genre have returned to once again prove with the Nioh series that it is they who are raising the flag of this genre. Others will need to double their efforts to reach the level of gameplay quality delivered in the third installment.

Nioh 3 is a powerful, conscious, extended and improved return in every aspect, and capable of reconfirming the Nioh series as one of the absolute points of reference of the genre, albeit with some flaws.
