If you enjoy soulslike games, Nioh is the best non From Software souls game. Team Ninja in its best!

First off, the game is pretty tough. It's a faster action souls-like game which means managing your stamina (ki) and quick reflexes are key to advancing. The game now allows you to freely switch between Samurai mode (similar to Nioh and Nioh 2 play style) and Ninja mode (quicker movement and allows use of ninjutsu) to give you more combat options. Nioh 3 has a new 'open field' design which opens up exploration. Between the cutely rotund scampusses to follow to masters to defeat and learn a new technique from, there will be something for you to stumble into. The story takes place during different time periods, each with their own open field and missions to complete. Like the other Nioh games, you don't have to go at it alone as many players set up 'benevolent graves' to allow their ghost to help you, or you can summon a friend or random player to play with you. Between battles, exploration and loot, this game satisfies. One small tip, there's a lot of settings you can customize to make it more accessible with some good quality of life improvements such as auto-pick up for loot and adding more quick slots for your magic or items.

I will try to keep this short. This is essentially Team Ninja's attempt at giving their Nioh franchise the "Elden Ring" treatment. I'd say it was a pretty good attempt, but it still has a lot of the flaws that plagued the past releases. For example, the story and world. Storytelling still sucks and level design is just kind of there. Having said that, I still had a blast with the game. The combat here is without a doubt the main highlight like the past iterations. If there's one thing Team Ninja always gets right, it's definitely combat. You want a fun and challenging action game? Then look no further.

Great game! I never really been big on the nioh series because of the repetitive level design, but this installment with the added open world and excellent combat, it has been a blast to play.

The third installment of the Nioh franchise is the best yet. Gameplay is improved from the sequel, whichbwas even better than the first. The dual ninja/samurai styles are intuitive and adds a great deal of depth to gameplay. The story is also greatly improved from Nioh 2, which sacrificed story telling in favor of custom character building. As a big Nioh fan, this third installment is truly the best of all worlds for the franchise.
