So, this game was my first ever interaction with a soulslike, although its not really a souls game, its more like a crossover between Ninja Gaiden X Dark Souls with tons of loot and very loot-based like Diablo.
At first i didn't like it and left it only to pick it up 2-3 years later and i actually liked it.
Man oh man, i have a love-hate relationship with this game. Sometimes i'd be like: "man this game is badass!" and sometimes: "man this game sucks big time!"
Its definitely a great game, loved the style, the atmosphere, the gameplay, how its based on historic battles and real people.
Very fast paced, and very loot based from a point onwards. So the platinum is quite easy, like a 5/10 difficulty. But the 100% is a different breed. You need to complete every mission in this game on the Way of the Demon difficulty which is pretty much NG+2.
The game has 5 difficulties:
-Way of the Samurai
-Way of the Strong
-Way of the Demon
-Way of the Wise
-Way of the Nioh
Some of the missions are very hard, I had to go to WotNioh to farm gear and amrita to have a chance at the harder WotDemon missions.
What i hate about Nioh is... some missions are just bad, repetitive and unfair. It might sound like skill issue but idk, when you die in any souls game you know it was your fault 99% of the times. In Nioh.... sometimes shit happens:)))
All in all, great game, way harder than any souls game.
