Nioh is fun, and frustrating, with spectacular bosses and way, way too much loot.

Inserting the supernatural into historical fiction as the explanation for historical events is really funny. See also Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer

As for the gameplay, the ki meter is a great twist on the soulslike stamina bar. Counters and ki bar depletion finishers feel great.

A minha relação com Nioh após zerar é de amor e ódio. Amor pelo seu sistema de combate e batalhas contra chefes, ódio pela repetição extrema de inimigos, sua dificuldade frustrante e pouco recompensadora em certos momentos, e suas missões secundárias que reaproveitam elementos já utilizados. O saldo é de um jogo que poderia ser mais curto, mais seletivo em seu conteúdo e menos punitivo em muitos momentos. Apesar de tudo isso, o seu sistema de combate complexo e responsivo consegue carregar a experiência até um fim satisfatório.

Nioh is like if Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden had a baby – it's super satisfying to master the combat, but it's also brutally unforgiving. The loot system is addictive, and there's a ton of builds to mess with. The Japanese folklore setting is cool, but the story gets confusing fast, and the level design is kinda uninspired. If you like that hardcore challenge with a side of awesome samurai action, check it out. If not...maybe try something a little easier.

Joguei depois do Nioh 2, talvez por isso tenha achado muito repetitivo, embora tenha aproveitado bastante da gameplay dele

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.
