Nioh games slap. I started with the first one and beaten it at least once. Wasn't really feeling doing NG+ for it back then. Fast forward to years later, and I played Nioh 2 up from first playthrough, to beating Underworld and Depths. Nioh 2 instantly skyrocketed to becoming one of my top favorites 🔥
nioh games are the slappiest. i definitely recommend trying nioh 1's late game/ng+ whenever you get the itch to play some nioh. it's an experience well worth ...experiencing. lmao thanks for watching!! :)
Nioh and Nioh 2 are amazing games that are unmatched to this day. I would have loved for Team Ninja to continue that path but instead they decided to reduce complexity and - especially - uniqueness with every new game they produce. Well, being special doesn't pay wages. But I still think they could have had a massive success with a Nioh 3 with better area design and where not every little mistake means death.
hopefully their experimentation with other titles, such as wo long, and the mistakes as well as successes that came with them help shape a potential nioh 3 into a better game. i'd like to believe they're coming back to this series--it just seems ridiculous they'd let it fade into the shadows after two unique, and amazing games. but i guess its not impossible. after all, ninja gaiden exists.
appreciate you my guy. nioh 1 is top tier trolling in the late game. its been a long time since i died back to back to back ...to back to back ... to back in multiple missions lmao
thanks! i've been hoping for a pc release but i might have to dust off my playstation to play it at this rate lol. i'm definitely going to get around to playing and yapping about ronin too :)
@shape444 its really good. I just finished up on nioh and I love it. I was going to play sekiro then nioh 2 cause I've heard nioh 2 is harder and better than sekiro so I didn't want nioh 2 ruined my sekiro experience. BUT! I got rise of the ronin for Christmas and I had to play it. Rise of the ronin fighting mechanics feels like a smoother nioh fighting mechanics. It's more forgiving and more challenging at the sametime vs nioh. To sum it up best way possible. It feels like ghost of tsushima, nioh, and spiderman mixed in to one
I love both Nioh games, even when I prefer Nioh 2 slightly because of the added mechanics , the first game also has things that the sequel hasn't. I went into Nioh 1 without knowing where I was getting into, unlike many other players I had never played any souls games and I tried some of them after playing Nioh, and no, they are not the same by any means, I don't even consider Nioh to be a souls game at all despite the obvious influences but those are rather superficial and not so important actually. The great thing about it is that I didn't even know about ng+ at that point and after struggling with the game and reaching its end I though that was it and I was sad. But to my surprise I found out there was a ng+ and another one and another one so I ended up playing the game non-stop, I played it for 1400 hours and only stopped playing it when Nioh 2 came out, which I then played for 4k hours too. I love these games and they are on top of my all tim fav games ever together with very other few games. I hope Team Ninja makes a Nioh 3 some day, otherwise I see myself coming back to the Nioh games over and over again :)
Yep, in my opinion them calling Nioh a soulslike was more a sales tactic than anything, there's very little in common it has with souls games it's almost comical lol And we pretty much have the same background story there I practically played Nioh til Nioh 2 came out other games came and went but Nioh was my mainstay til the sequel. And even now I'm playing the sequel and having fun with it. I really hope a Nioh 3 happens, it'd be such a silly decision to just let an amazing series fade away --- but then i remember ninja gaiden so i know it is indeed possible 😔
I really liked Nioh1, but after playing Nioh2, the quality of life is much better. 1. Nioh is more difficult especially when fighting bosses at the same time. I believe my playthrough up to Way of the Nioh was 50% Living Weapon build. 2. Resetting builds in Nioh1 sucks. (Book of reincarnation) Since all weapon/ninjutsu/magic upgrades get reset too. 3. Weapon/Armor upgrade in Nioh1 sucks. Unlike in Nioh2 where upgrading using Ethereal gear gets you half of the + value. 4. Too many one shot in Nioh1. I only lasted floor13 in the Abyss iirc. I love both but 2 is more balanced.
100% agree! 1 & 4 - Yup, it was such a brutal experience in the later NG+ cycles. I ended up being completely reliant on tokugawa clan + janomecho to prevent one shots but even then the multi enemies the game throws at you makes it such a struggle regardless. 2- resetting one million percent sucks. nioh 2 felt far more generous and willing to allow the character to experiment with as few setbacks as possible. everytime you respec'd in nioh 1 you had to do the chores of re-setting all the skills. i didn't struggle with this much during my latest playthrough because I had a vision in mind for my build but christ, i remember years ago having all these build ideas and all the time spent resetting was a pain 3 - another great example of the improvements nioh 2 made that make it a better experience I really loved my time with Nioh 1 but 2 did such a great job of seeing the flaws in 1 and fixing and building upon those things. that's why it's the greatest! thanks for watching and commenting, i appreciate you. :)
Nioh games was largerly ignored by even Soulsbourne crowd and for a valid reason. Simply put if Soulsbourne gives you something to play "for free", Nioh 1\2 gives you nothing and make you "try hard" from the first boss you ever meet. And the first farm station you find gotta be milked dry. Not everyone cup of tea and both Nioh should have gad difficulty setting coz the game is very good but regular players wanted to enjoy it more that an hour.
it's definitely a difficult game! that's the philosophy of the developers though. ninja gaiden back in the day was known for being incredibly hard and the head director, when he got complaints of the game being too hard--do you know what he did? he went and made those games even harder! he was a different kind of beast! shame he's parted ways, but these games being hard is just a staple of the studio and for better or worse they're sticking with it. which is unfortunate because it can scare away new/normal players but diehards definitely love it. thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@shape444 true, and that's why Nioh games are very good on PC with the use of trainers where you can make "regular Bloodborne difficulty", but console gamers are so out of luck!
Nioh 1 is such a unique experience and I’ll never understand the players who tell people to skip it. Like yes, Nioh 2 is the better game but thanks to Nioh’s more liberal approach to buff stacking and just bigger numbers in general, there are things you just can’t do in Nioh 2 that you can in Nioh 1 and visa versa. & I think one shot builds are kinda a necessity if you want to push to floor 999 in a reasonable amount of time. Other than that though, you can completely ignore them and do fine with some skill and knowledge.
agreed, 100%. i want to add on and say also though that the buff stacking in nioh 1 enables so much more freedom in my opinion, like yeah it can lead to some broken things but i'd prefer it to, say, Nioh 2's endgame problem where its easy to not have the damage needed to reasonably proceed through the depths. nioh 1 gives you so many more outs through tempers and spells and so on that work with each other so you can always keep up damage wise. the more i think about it the more i think it might be the better system lol
Thanks for watching! What are your thoughts? Nioh and Nioh 2, which is your favorite?🤔
Nioh 1 is my favorite

Great vid nioh 1 definitely loved to troll you with it’s insane missions but still a great game
