I think Nioh 2 is still better, but it is an interesting take on the formula. The problem of this game is that for new game+ (and++ etc) it requires you to farm a lot, but the level aren’t that interesting and are not randomized.

The other big problem is that the DLCs including the end of the game story are behind these ng++ games…

That and as all team ninja games, past a certain point it get hard. The base game is relatively ok though, easier than Nioh2 but not the snoozefest of ff16, unless you over level too much

But if you have friends who like final fantasy and beat them all, it can get fun. (I played the game earlier this year and didn’t have technical problems, tell ninja games at launch can be really rough technically)

The main problem of Nioh2/FFO/Wo long (technical issues at launch put aside) is the lack of content. Don’t take me wrong, all these games take time to complete, but for each main mission , you redo each level 2 or 3 more times in secondary missions. That and the story is too often forgettable.

But IMO these systems are so great that they would do wonder in bigger games/more ambitious games, that is why I really hope that rise of the Ronin do well next year. Oh and their character creator is fantastic, too bad it wasn’t here in FFO.

Watch some videos, but these games are essentially great beat them all with a lots of builds and diablo like itemisation.

I still think that each game since Nioh2 is less complete than the previous one. (And with each game we get less and less missions)
