Good game in new condition. Game is more in the difficult side but it's really good for those looking for a challenge

Great PS4 exclusive, beautiful graphics and hard, but fair. Love it. Also, picked it up on sale and with GCU for $15

Nioh is a lot of things. It's challenging. It's fast paced. It's steeped in Japanese history, folklore, and mythology. But above all, Nioh is one of the funnest games available on the Playstation 4 platform, and one of the greatest. The premise of an Irish-born Englishman in the foreign land of Japan during the 1600's alone is interesting, but what's even more interesting is that this is a person who actually existed. The combat and character progression are heavily inspired by Dark Souls, but the game does so much different that it stands on it's own. With a randomly generated loot system, six move sets per weapon type that can be expanded further, and the combination of the ninja abilities and magic, your options during combat are incredible. The gameplay is fluid, the sound design is incredible, and the environments and ambiance are very authentic Japanese. Also important to note is that Nioh offers different gameplay modes for those who prefer graphics and those who prefer framerates. Every PS4 owner should consider getting this game, and any fan of Dark Souls must get this game. It's easily one of the best on the PS4.

Nioh is an amazing experince already with tremendous upside and potential. The combat is deep, the weapons diverse, and apporaches to encounters give many options, and the experience is dynamic. Enemiesaren't always in the same place. The visuals do a great job establishing the mood as well. If you have a PS4...get this game

This is a great sidestep from the Dark Souls series. The combat is familiar if you've played these, but plenty nuanced to be different. The mythos feels stronger and there's something like a real story (unlike those games) so I would say even if you've never played dark souls, give this a shot - just be ready to lose a lot.

Great game excellent game play and graphics. Gives you enough challenge to keep on playing but not impossible tasks

If you're a fan of the Dark Souls series, then you will enjoy this one too. Tough as nails, but excellent overall.

This is a must have game. It is a combination of a dark rpg, with samurai style, similar to past onimucha games.

If you like dark souls you’ll love this. It plays very similar but with a historical Japanese setting and story.

Nioh is the Game of the Year for PS4, for me. Its a mandatory experience for Bloodborne and Dark Souls players.

I'm a gamer and only good games can make me keep playing day by day. And this is the one keep me playing everyday. It's not so easy for the beginners so you want something easy this game is not for you. You will have to spend a lot of time on this but it's definitely great to play. Good story and great graphics.

It's always good to see something new and not just a sequel arrive on for your preferred platform. Nioh is very challenging, yet rewarding and fun. If you're a fan of the Souls series of games (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, etc.), then you'll likely enjoy this one. It's not an outright clone, but there are similarities.

When you first play the game it will seems like it's just another Dark Souls until you actually play the game. It has gameplay and mechanics that make it all its own. Add to that a rich story seeped Japanese mythology and history and this makes for a great game. If you're a Souls vet I definitely recommend this game.

Super fun game with a great level of challenge! Any fan of the 'Souls' series will be at home with this game.

By now you have probably read or seen reviews about this incredible game. It is often compared to Bloodborne or Dark Souls. If you liked those, you should like this too, although it is different. Be advised, however, that currently there is no versus mutliplayer. You can square off against a "revenant," which is an A.I. opponent with the build of an actual player, her equipment and stats. There seems to be co-op, though I have not personally tried it. I had this on day one and by the 3rd day there was a nice patch which follows the Bloodborne model of collecting items. Whereas prior to the patch, if you reached the limit you could carry for a dropped item, you just had to leave it, now, at least in health elixirs, additional ones collected go to storage and become available upon death without needing to farm more until your storage is depleted.

I really enjoyed this game. Great story, great graphics and overall enjoyable gameplay. It was difficult and getting a gang of the combat was a task but i was in the swing hours later. Sony makes awesome exclusives and this one does not disappoint.

The graphics, sounds, and action of this game are amazing. It has a variety of skills needed to complete each mission in the story line and each boss to be defeated is very challenging and unique in their own right. I definitely consider this a long term game to be enjoyed with many challenges to play through.

Heard good things about this game and decided to try it out. Can get difficult at time but it’s really fun.

Awesome game! Can get a little hard at times but that’s the fun of it. Glad it was purchased great game!

Nioh is kind of a marriage between Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls—not as fast or as free-moving as the former and not as slow or methodical as the latter. It's made by Team Ninja of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, so you can expect a difficult experience still. The game is very very loosely based on the Western Samurai William Adams who traveled to Japan in the 1600s. But it also has spirits, monsters, demons—fantasy stuff. The gameplay is semi-standard action RPG—you have a few combos and a few types of attacks and a block—but revolves around switching between stance types as you battle your way through enemies whose attacks and behavior might be better matched by a stance with high damage and low speed or one opposite that with high speed and low damage. Or you might need to swap between stances constantly as you fight only one enemy or a small group. Its an interesting and complicating wrinkle in a game genre that's well-worn. A great game with a solid pedigree, it's well worth your time (a few dozen hours of it at least) and money.
