A highlight was beating their revenant mid-game, however. Granted, my tactic is to grind areas to level up my stats, then when I hit a bit of a hurdle, look up a build on Fextralife to realise I’ve ballsed up a little. More Weapons Than You Can Shake A Stick Atįortunately then, Nioh 2 Complete Edition is a *little* easier. The NPC’s play nothing like their real-life players, and a bit gormless. You’ll encounter blue graves which are summonable NPCs (player avatars) using ochoko cups, purchased at shrines, or drops from defeating the ghosts of other players, revenants.

Alas, while Nioh 2 came out exclusively on PS4 in March 2020, at the time of writing, only devs and reviewers have the game, and it’s a bit hit and miss in finding someone other than decoy NPCs. Nioh 2 has the same option, and you can co-op and even call in two players to help. However, calling upon another player when stuck was pivotal, unlike Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which is why I never finished it. That was a nightmare and only got through on a minor glitch. In truth, Nioh was more demanding than all of the Souls games (excluding the Dancer of the Boreal Valley in Dark Souls 3).

had me grinding my teeth, and having a complexion that was comparable to a Consec scanner’s head: red and ready to explode. If it weren’t for cooperation from others, I would have struggled. I’m not a casual gamer, but I’m not a leaderboard celeb or have a dedicated cabinet for my in-game achievements/trophies.

There’s a multitude of skill trees for these and your weapons that level with usage, and you can customise the move sets too.

Like the From Software model, Nioh 2 Complete Edition is a third-person action RPG type where you level up your stats through strength and dex, ninja skills, magic and Oni powers. I opted for the Phantom, for cosmetic reasons and it didn’t look so much like a Super Saiyan. They are essentially a hard-hitter, dex-type and magic dealer. There are three: Brute, Feral and Phantom.

Who’s that? 😉 Source: Screen captureĪ new addition to the game is oni forms as your character is half-human, half-oni/yokai. As with my Cyberpunk 2077 character, they ended up looking rather vanilla without the custom willy. Note that in the Nioh 2 Complete Edition, you can switch to William Adams from Nioh. The silence is due to the character creation side of things as you can customise your player and their gear. You play the non-speaking Hide, or ‘Hiddy’. However, this is a standalone, so if you haven’t played the first, you don’t need to, though I highly recommend playing at some point. In short, it’s before Nobunaga Oda’s plans to unify Japan, a story from the first game. Nioh 2, from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo, is a prequel to Nioh. Yet, it’s those early steps of grinding, flirting with various weapon combos and soul cores at the beginning that makes this an undeniable attention seeker.

Nioh 2 Complete Edition is arguably a game that unlocks in new game+/endgame.
