madmaltese★ 2,555 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yeah I know, super late, but with PS Plus I finally got a chance to try it out. I was expecting the usual inferior Demon/Dark Souls clone like most of the clones are but holy fuck was I wrong. This game is spectacular and I'm still early in the game. This is more than a DS clone but a legitimate competitor even after having played Sekiro. The combat system is deep, numerous weapons like Souls games but also numerous stances adding layers to the combat that Souls doesn't have. It's RPG elements are Souls turned up multiple fold. It's setting so far early on isn't anything unique but hopefully it changes up a bit. So far I'm a huge fan and NiOh 2 has now skyrocketed up my anticipated games. For any Souls fans here who haven't tried it yet, give it a go, I think you'll be impressed. In fact I can even see ppl who don't like Soulsbourne games liking this.

Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Better combat than Sekiro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,670 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I haven't tried it out yet, and I'm not going to. I already know it's going to be amazing. I think I might wait though and see if a PC version gets announced by E3. If it does, then I'll hold off. If not, I'll get it on PS4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,899 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I played the beta and the demo, and thought it was ok but didn't find it that interesting overall. Ill still keep an eye on the sequel and see if thats the one i can get into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 You can tell these are the guys behind ninja gaiden, the combat system assrapes any souls game, way more sophisticated. I just can't go back after taking a long break from this game, I've forgotten everything and the game is brutally difficult. There's so much to the controls, stances and all the abilities.

Delita 698 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I liked it a lot playing the alpha and beta until you play the full game and you realize that the enemy variety is terrible, the weapon variety is terrible, and it’s Grindy as shit. Playing same levels over and over. I thought it was decent and a perfect starting point for a sequel. But I played the closed beta Of nioh 2 back in may? and it’s literally the exact same thing. Visually, mechanically. I couldn’t even finish it before getting bored Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 It's the only Souls clone that is actually good but it's far from perfect. I'm not hyped for the sequel, too samey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 442 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 First 1/4th of the game is good. Then the game becomes nothing but a gear chase, gets tedious and repetitive real fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
