Nioh definitely has it's own rhythm and pacing when it comes to the combat, and to me it only started to make sense towards the end. But then it became quite enjoyable. The amount of loot is over the top and I wish I learned sooner to focus on a specific armour set piece and focusing on improving that one, rather than using a piece of this and a piece of that. The menu system and shop has room for improvements.

The game is mission based, which suited me just fine. And all the written lore and video cut scenes made it easy to get back into the game after a few months away from it.

Some of the bosses are more a test of your ability to stagger your frustration than your skills. At least to me, not being at an appropriate level meant death over and over again.
But after finishing the story line I want more and are looking forward to Nioh 2.
