Nioh 2 Reviews
Bottom line; this isn’t a huge reinvention, but it sure is a damn solid sequel.
Nioh 2 is just brutal and relentless, a delight to those who seek a great challenge.

Nioh 2 builds in a meaningful way on everything that Team Ninja established in the first game.
One of the best Soulslike games ever made. With its gripping story in Japan, where supernatural beings intervene, and more advanced combat mechanics, Nioh 2 has managed to become one of the best action games on Playstation 4. Prepare to fight, prepare to die and loot everything you find!

Nioh 2 is not your average hardcore RPG. Its combat has become a fast-paced flurry of attacks, parries and abilities which sets it apart from other games in the genre. It successfully improves on the original game’s mechanics and merges some new fun ways to build your character that will see you venturing into new game plus with a beastly build. There is a lot of content to enjoy here too with the first playthrough lasting well over 50 hours.
Nioh 2 nicely builds on the groundwork laid by the first game. The original mechanics were refined and new ones add further depth and options that enrich the combat system and take the risk-reward system one step further.

Nioh 2 offers best in class combat but suffers from an overwhelming number of upgrade systems and a story that is utterly incoherent.
While Team Ninja leave us wanting more from their unique Souls series, they are an inspiring reminder to all gamers everywhere of how innovative the Kyoto based, development company are, and how it will forever be associated with this franchise. Nioh 2 forges a legacy that will ultimately set a benchmark for future Souls-like titles, in hopes to eventually lead us into a new generation of vigorous, yet compelling video games.
If you’ve been looking to quench your thirst for a game that is challenging and would be fun to play with your friends this Nioh 2 is surely there to help you out. Overall, I believe that Nioh 2 has satisfied my thirst for git gud adventures and it’s definitely a game worth playing.
The end result is a game that feels too familiar all the way through with fleeting moments of originality. That being said, it is still worth it for diehard Soulsborne fans and/or lovers of the original Nioh.
I do not see a single reason to miss this game that climbs a step at all levels with respect to its predecessor and that does not have any major shortcomings.

Nioh 2 is an extremely well done sequel that adds enough to an already complex combat system, but not too much to make systems redundant or cumbersome. The changes aren’t drastic, and this may lead to some feeling like it feels too similar, but the first game already had fantastic gameplay variety.
Master the intricacies of Nioh 2 and immerse yourself in a world of splendid combat, satisfying challenge, and a transcendent experience like only Team Ninja can.
Dark Souls 2 couldn't match the original, however Nioh 2 crushes in that regard. The sequel didn't lose any of the charm of the first game and the quality bar stayed firmly in its place. If you're into soulslikes, don't hesitate even for a moment.

Nioh 2 is a must have - and a great edition to your PS4 library
Nioh 2 is a very good video game. Fun, entertaining and, although it does not revolutionize and we can piss off dying so much, it brings new ways of playing and enough novelties to spend hundreds of hours testing builds to be the best samurai. It can get desperate at times, but with patience we will be powerful warriors.

Although starting from the excellent foundations laid by the previous chapter of the saga, Nioh 2 manages to innovate almost every aspect of it, proving to be a game of absolute excellence, able to meet the needs of every type of player. The most demanding and hardcore gamer will find his teeth, but even the user less accustomed to punitive mechanics will find his space, using certain builds and the Graves of Mercy. The soul cores and explosive counterattack are great additions to a gameplay already solid and compelling, but now it is even deeper and more varied, able to satisfy all palates. The only two flaws are the crafting and multiplayer, not developed enough, but nothing that may cloud our overall judgment.

Nioh 2 is everything that From Software’s fans wished Sekiro to be – a Dark Souls game with a Japanese theme. Even though it has some problems and from time to time you may feel a bit tired of the repetitive missions, Nioh 2 remains both a great game and a perfect sequel.

Nioh 2 [encourages] you to be creative and personalize your whole gameplay experience. The only hurdle for players new to the franchise is it'ss very steep difficulty and learning curve. But if you can tough it out and get past that, this is a game you may even see yourself revisiting time and again.
Team Ninja opts for the bigger is better approach. More mechanics, weapons,story and a bunch of insane bosses make Nioh 2 an action delight.
