I absolutely slept on this game when I first tried it. It wasn't bad, but I was put off when I realized it was gonna be a lot longer than I bargained for. I think there were other games I wanted to play at that time, 5 years ago.

Later down the line, I ended up playing Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger of Paradise because I'm a huge FF fan and wanted to give it a try. A lot of people were comparing it to Nioh. After I finished that, a friend of mine asked me to play Nioh 2 with him as a way to pass time here and there. It clicked and I realized how great both of these games are. Now, I finally came back to finish this first one, and I love it. I can say this is absolutely the best way to live out a samurai, action-fantasy. Allowing you to build your character to be the ideal samurai/ninja/mage you want.

I'm gonna continue playing this until I get the Platinum trophy. Once that's done, you best believe I'm jumping back into the sequel.
