There’s a good amount of graphical options here and even though I’m now running on some rather old hardware (GeForce GTX1080) it still looked and played fantastic. I never saw a single frame drop and it looks great while doing it. Now, the PC version of this game runs smooth as butter. If they die before getting back to that spot, it’s gone forever. Don’t forget, if one dies, they lose all that precious Amrita and must pick it up where they died. Then when going to a shrine, I could spend my Amrita earned from killing enemies to level up my character in numerous stats. There are even skill trees for the weapons I want to master. On top of that, players can transform into their Yokai for a short period and do some devastating attacks. There is a full-on counter that can be used even on bosses that both looks great as well as helps out, but much like everything else in the game, it’s not easy to pull off. So, not only are there numerous weapons that play completely differently, the character also has skills learned from the demons they slay.

Like I said, it is really great the amount of options that are here.

There are so many nuanced things in the combat that gives off such a complex feeling. I found myself overwhelmed not just in the combat difficulty but also in the choices I made whenever I needed to make a character decision. Which is both a great aspect to have as well as a detriment to players like me who are either new to the genre or trying to refresh themselves with this style of game. Needless to say, this game gives a ton of options and each one is different. Oh, and my stats when I finally level up. Then there is which spirit guardians I have equipped and which Yokai skills I can use. Not only am I fixated on not dying to a giant enemy, but I also need to remember to change stances based on what kind of attacks I want to pull off, what skills I have equipped, the weapons I have in my arsenal, keeping an eye on my spirit gauge, also, making sure I cleanse an area so I can get used spirit back. The two big DLC packs add a ton to the original game including new areas, weapons, abilities, and Guardian spirits. This version comes with all the DLC that released for the original Nioh 2 back in 2020. Now, I’m playing the PC version of the 2nd game in a series I have never played. Of course, I’ll try anything, and while Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition is a hard game for me to get into, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a well-crafted, balanced game that a fan of this genre wouldn’t enjoy.

Now, that’s not to say I’m not willing to give one a shot. I can’t keep up with the mechanics, the difficulty, and the action they present. The reason why? I honestly think I am too old for these games. In fact, the last game I played that was considered a “Souls game” was Dark Souls 2. It’s been a long time since I have played this style of game. A lot here for better or for worse, but still great.
