I understand why you'd gave this opinion, I love both Souls and Nioh, Nioh 2 is definitely better than Souls 2 and 1, maybe even 3 but it doesn't beat BB or ER, Nioh 2 will be entering my top 50 next year somewhere above close to or above Souls 3 but you have to agree there is much in that game that doesn't hold up to From Softs standards, Loot everywhere that feels like trash and getting good gear and feeling stronger only comes in the post game and whatever the NG+ modes are called is the biggest factor but there is the bosses, often they are so weakly designed, From soft would throw half of them in the bin and returne the other half cause the difficulty is always swinging up and down. The level design, while pretty good and effective is nonsense when you think about it, if you vaguely follow the story the locations don't make sense and they use such antiquated methods to close off areas and keep things contained. FromSoft started with decent level design and reached God tier with Bloodborne and while Sekiro isn't great it's interesting and feels very looped back on itself, ever area is distinct and well made and makes perfect sense to the story, cohesive like somehlthing Team Ninja just can not accomplish even when they go open world and add amazing traversal mechanics it feels off and B tier.
I'm sorry man, Nioh and Nioh 2 systems are unbelievably good, the extent of customisation with weapons, skills and all those nuanced mechanics from the stances to the ki pulse is so far beyond Souls they'll never reach it but they don't have to, they can make a simple back and forth parrying rythym system and make it feel as if it's better. It's clearly n9t ad detailed but it's tuned so well to enemy movesets and what not that it comes off as better combat in the moment without the excess.
