The follow up to one of my favorite games of all time! Beautiful visuals, and a very tough campaign that requires wit and skill. This game developed by Team Ninja (Ninja Gaiden); improves almost every facet of combat from the first. Must buy for the PS4, and at a great price at Best Buy!

Builds on what made the first great

If you enjoyed the first Nioh you will like the follow up. Coming straight off getting the platinum for Nioh I jumped into Nioh 2 and immediately got knocked down a dozen pegs, thinking I was still with my OP build from Nioh I had to re adjust my play style. The setting is still great even on an older 4K tv the visuals are stunning, they would be even better if my wife would let me play on the tv in the living room.
The combat is still great and the burst counters are something I wasn't sure of before I played but you adapt so easily, they can lead to great combos or a way to break an enemy's ki faster but as usual if you mistime it you will be punished immediately. The difficulty does seem to be a little higher but that's ok and is welcomed to get your fix of the sensation when you take down a boss.

I know a lot of people didn’t really like this second part of Nioh but I decided to try it since I enjoyed the first one and this was at a really good price in Best Buy. We have been playing it for a couple of days and we are really enjoying it. I think it’s just as enjoyable as the first part. If you liked Nioh you will totally enjoy this second part.

Was looking for a new game for my son after he completed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Wanted to find something similar towards difficulty and challenges. He says it's even better than Sekiro. Highly recommend. Friends can actually temporarily play in two player mode when defeating bosses.

It definitely takes time to get used to but once you get the basics down, the game really starts to shine. Very challenging though, if you're the type to give up after a few deaths, this isn't for you. Graphics are ok, story is decent, combat and gameplay are on point!

Was greatly anticipating this sequel to one of my favorite games. This takes all the best mechanics of Nioh and turns them up a notch. The gameplay is engrossing and as challenging as the first installment. Anyone who likes Souls-style games I would recommend this to.

Solid Game But Feels More Like An Expansion

This has to be one of if not the better looking PS4 game made and there were some really good ones like GoW, Horizon, Bloodbourne. Nioh 2 though feels more like an expansion of Nioh but that's not a criticism. It even better at a $10 price.

Nioh 2 is a balanced and beautiful game. It will certainly frustrate you to the point where you will want to walk away, but that first victory over a big bad demon will ignite a thirst in you to continue your difficult journey through ancient Japan. Good sequel to one of the better games of the PS4 era!

Nioh definitely is the one game to give the souls franchise a run for their money after so many other clones have tried to. Awesome gameplay and quite challenging.

I never played the first one, but i always wanted to play the second. I got it while on sale and it is one of the best $20 ive spent. Great art style, music, and gameplay. It is hard, but ive played all the soulsborn games and this wasn't that more difficult. Overall i would say buy it!

Great game. The environment is excellent and the so is the game play and graphics. It is hard to master, but still fun if you're playing the Nioh franchise for the first time.

Do you like dark souls? Do you like ninja garden? Do you like nioh 1? If you answered yes to any of those then go ahead and buy this. Great combat, ok levels, pretty good graphics. A 4K update is coming for free if you play it on ps5
