Nioh’s combat stays fast-paced and gratifying, bringing a rhythm to fights that isn’t possible with only a lock-on-and-dodge system. While standing in it, they become stronger and you can’t regenerate Ki. Demons, from the horned hulks to the cycloptic children, all have an attack that places a distinctly demonic, misty looking area-of-effect on the ground. However, the game is fun but you must be aware that it is a lot harder and more frustrating than Nioh 1.Yokai Realm zones are the best kind of battlefield hopscotch. And the Yokai attacks, you can do 1 or 2 and then your Anmia is used up. The burst counter has a reaction window of milliseconds, so you mess it up 70% of the times. They say that there is the burst counter and the Yokai attacks now. Running 20 times to some miniboss only to be 2-shot by his lightning fast attack, eat! The game is extremely cheap. For me, it has come to the point where it is not fun anymore. They have increased the health pools of enemies, even normal enemies are now performing lightning fast attacks that 1 or 2-shot you. Nioh 2 could be a good game, but with the difficulty they went too far this time. I have played DS1, DS2, DS3, Nioh, Sekiro and some other Soulslikes. 90% of the boss moves are so fast you can't even react to them. Boss fight means: wait 20 seconds until you can place the next hit in order to do 0,001% damage to the boss. Boss fight means: wait 20 seconds until you can place the next hit in order to TL DR: The bosses can do everything, you can do almost nothing. TL DR: The bosses can do everything, you can do almost nothing. Its samurai souls with lots of loot and gorgeous levels. The difficulty has been upped from the first game definitely. Because a 5-10fps drop is completely unplayable. Although nowadays PC players get their panties in a wad if they experience ANY frame rate drop.
I am not sure but it seems like the newer series cards are supposedly experiencing this issue. Im playing on a 9700k, with 32gb of ram, and a 1080ti.
Other than that some people are complaining of FPS drops (imagine that!). Don’t knock a good game over something so petty. Its not meant to be a keyboard and mouse game.
The biggest complaint I see is the controls. Its The negative reviews for this game are absolute crap. The negative reviews for this game are absolute crap. Don't give up on this game until you beat the first few bosses, also, don't be afraid to use everything the game gives to you, guns and bows are something you should be using all the time-the game throws money at you that isn't needed and you can stock up at the blacksmith. Another thing is blocking, it gives 100% damage reduction in this game, unblockable moves will overlay a white or red glow over the enemy to give you ample time to react accordingly. To be specific, you'll want to figure out burst counters and ki pulsing from the get go, without these down you will die a lot, since the stamina system heavily punishes players who don't ki pulse. Until then, you are going to think the game is difficult and unfair. Once you get the hang of it, this game is the same level of difficulty as Dark Souls. Gameplay wise, the only thing I'll say is that if you are coming from Dark Souls, as I was, you'll want to learn the game mechanics as the combat has essential features that aren't what you'll be used to. This isn't something to rate the game a 1 for when they literally designed the game, from top to bottom, with controller players in mind.
Look at DS3, terrible keyboard controls until modders fixed it. Games like this are never intended for keyboard controls, and most of the time that is fixed by modders soon after anyways. I have an Xbox elite controller and the controls have felt intuitive and fluid, better than 99.9% of games and I am not exaggerating, they nailed it. Performance wise, I have a 1070 GTX and my game is on an SSD, I've had no performance issues whatsoever and have kept a consistent 60 FPS graphics on high-looks exceptional to me on my 1440p 144hz monitor. The last game I had this much fun with was Bloodborne years back. I tend to agree with negative criticisms on here, but I am having an absolute blast with this game.
