The issue is the game is rarely (certain traps...) unfairly hard. You figure out your build (strength/stamina for me) and learn enemy patterns and focus on health and ki. It even allows for grinding and two player mode if it is too hard for some.

Love Nioh and seriously think this could unseat Bloodborne (which I freaking love) as my game of this console generation. If you have any interest I strongly suggest buying Nioh.

Lol Washington Post really hates PS4 exclusives.

Polygon gave it a 80, they probably took 10 or 15 points from the game for not featuring any genderfluid pansexual multicolor disabled characters on the game.

I will never forgive their Bayonetta 2 review, shameful.

Nioh is more difficult at times than that but usually its not as difficult. Its nowhere close to as difficult as God of War 3 on Chaos mode, that is more diffculot than any Souls games as well.

Paralysis resistant gear is key and some of those anti-paralysis needles you put in your quick select items would help as well.

I got to her last night. Tried on mid stance with sword but then switched to low stance sword. She went down pretty quick after that.

I hate to be that guy is there a reason why the main character is a blonde hair, blue eyed dude. It just seems kinda odd.

Washington post lol.

A real samurai, although the guy probably didn't fight at all.

2 hours in. I wasn't a fan of the demos, but the game is pretty brilliant. Despite of the DS comparisons, Ni-oh has personality. I don't think it has nothing to envy about DS games. I've found the difficulty fair atm, and the combat is really satisfying.

It is? I haven't played it yet thats why i'm asking. If it is though then I guess it makes sense.

Metacritic: 87.. wow, a score of 87 from 60 critics. that's fantastic
