A small but worthwhile expansion for one of the year's best games, that provides a welcome hint of more difficulties to come.

With its jump-in-and-go world map setup, I find myself picking up Nioh and randomly running a few levels on the New Game+ difficulty more than I thought I would. If the next two DLCs after Dragon of the North can keep this up and pad an already packed game with more to do, I'll be returning to it for years to come.

Nioh is such a difficult game, especially by his bosses. If you are a patient and skilled player, you will enjoy a lot with this challenge.

Dragon of the North could have been a great DLC, but at the end it fails to live up to the expectations. Dragon of the North is good, but it doesn't add enough content to make it an absolute necessity and only the most hardcore players will find the difficulty spike to their liking, others will probably cry in a corner.

Dragon of the North is a nice DLC for all fans of Nioh, which slightly expands basic content and allows you to extend the fun of the project. With strong mechanics, the only serious disadvantage is the longevity. Anyway, if you liked the game, you can safely buy this add-on.

The Dragon of the North DLC does little to shake up the Nioh formula, providing familiar environments with uninspired boss battles. That said, this is more Nioh, and the strength of the base game should still give you the challenge and thrill of combat despite the DLC's downfalls.

Dragon of the North is worth the price Koei Tecmo wants. For $10/€10 we get a few new missions along with a dozen more, checking our skill in combat. DLC also laid the foundations for a continuation of the story, whose end I wait with excitement.

A decent amount of content that offers hours of challenging gameplay. It might not be flawless, but this DLC is nevertheless worth experiencing.
