Souls games have spoiled me, but Nioh's equipment system of always swapping out for a minimally better version of what you already have gets tedious so quickly. Feeling nothing for your sword because it's only been in your hand for ten minutes and you just picked up another that does 0.25% more yokai damage. Random loot can work really well, but for me it just doesn't here.

It's a fun enough game, but the decent combat can't save what still feels like loads of bloat and padding without the variation to back it up.
