Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 days agoOh interesting! I knew about the different weapons and combos and coming from Ninja Gaiden that is appealing but the Diablo style loot piñata gameplay I was not expecting. Not sure it makes it more appealing to me though, sadly. I had hoped it was more of a Souls-meets-Ninja-Gaiden.
I’m still a bit scared, even though Ninja Gaiden have an even more brutal reputation than Dark Souls I found NGB and NG2 manageable whereas DS3 and Elden Ring felt like just on the border of what I can handle, sometimes going over it. Maybe we’re all just given to different types of games?

Overall, I find Nioh to give you far more tools than the usual Souls game, but also not demand as much mastery of them. There’s still some punishing mechanics (the only game that I’ve enjoyed doing the Exp recover after dying was Lies of P) and obtuse stats (even more when you consider the loot piñatas), but its still a game where I can go “All right, I don’t want to deal with this” and use the Yokai transformation to melt a boss’ HP.
Of course, at the end of the day, to each its own, so if Souls+Diablo gameplay doesn’t sound appealing to you, its an easy skip.

Alright, thank you so much! I will keep it in mind and maybe tentatively wishlist them for a deep sale!
