The community is asleep on this one. This is coming from someone who experienced dark souls with epic name bro doing vids! This game is absolutely amazing! The combos, builds, replay ability all chef’s kiss!
I don't care how many more videos like these are made or how many more people over the years come out saying they love Nioh, I swear it still feels criminally underrated lol
lmao yeah... i agree. It's tragic a game like this with all its depth and complexity just gets so little appreciation. I'll do my part and keep yapping about it hopefully it'll encourage more people to try it out
Nioh/2 are both so good, they dont even need multiple sequels to compete with popular games. This franchise is like that quiet kid who outplays almost everybody in the room when contested. I love Nioh 2 and i might never stop loving it. No, i dont want none of that medication, i wanna stay addicted af!
Haven't played Wo Long to say either way, but Nioh's music being great? Truer words have never been spoken. Hardly any games' soundtracks manage to break into the rotation with my old faves these days. Or this decade. But Nioh 1 and 2 sure did. I just wish I could find a better source for their soundtracks. And especially a better version of that super calm flute (or something like a flute, I'm no music expert) and violin theme for that first cave in the first game and several other missions afterward across both games. For some reason it seems easier to find Nioh 2's music specifically, and I don't know why.
This is a great breakdown of this game. I agree with every point you made here. It's one of those criminally underrated games that are just so incredibly good.
Nioh 2 is the most underrated action title in the last 10 maybe 20 years. I cant think of another game with the disparity between the quality and gameplay loop being as high as it is contrasted with how little it's brought up in conversation. It's criminally underrated.
Agreed, 100000%. It's almost painful to see and even worse, to see it get minimized especially by non-players. At least give it a shot people!! Thanks for watching!
What makes Ninja Gaiden, especially Ninja Gaiden Black, the best? As developer Tomonobu Itagaki said, “what sets Ninja Gaiden apart is that the enemies are smart and intelligent-they’re out to kill you. In other games, there may be lots of enemies, but they’re all stupid; they just stand there for you to cut them up and make you feel good. If you’re going to do that, you might as well cut vegetables.”
@@IMZ1N i agree, its great but the problem i have with it is that so SO much of the games exploration is absolutely bullshit to try and figure out without a guide. Not to mention questlines... also the fact to have a smooth experience requires you to farm is even more annoying. I dont want to farm spirit emblems just to fight isshin for the 50th time.
I never thought i'd spend more time on Nioh 2 than the original Fromsoftware Souls games. It's just the perfect mix of great combat, bite-size mission based progression, Diablo-like itemization and a way better NG+ cycles system and endgame. One of my favorite games of all time for sure.
same, 100%. I put alot of time in the souls games pve and pvp but Nioh 2 outpaced all of them easily lmao. It's crazy how good this game is and continues to hold up. thanks for watching :)
Not only does he recognize Nioh 2 superiority, but then accepts a case for DmC3 or 5? Real recognize real. I couldn't agree more, and I adore seeing this. Thank you for your effort
@@1-800-nonya you don't have to lobby to me. DmC5 is my favorite action game But it is rare for people to give Nioh the kind of praise it deserves, and it was nice to see it come from someone who appreciates arguably the two most technically maximal action games in existence
It’s rare to find someone who enjoys Nioh and dmc, kinda feels like both fanbases are fighting each other over what’s better when both Nioh 2 and DMC3/4/5 offer 10/10 combat. although there are certain things that are better in either of the series, like Nioh 2 undoubtedly has better and more engaging enemy design, whilst I feel that dmc has better bosses and obviously offers infinitely more creative expression.
Nioh 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Nioh 2, Sekiro, Armored Core 6, Sifu, Hades, and Risk of Rain 2 are games that I will never be tired of.
Wow, the other games are really something I definitely consider way inferior to Nioh, armored core is meh, Sekiro is repetitive and inferior lacking creativity and options, just a rhytm game, Sifu is also another defensive Game parry based lacking of creativity and character designs, Hades is good but too long and kinda boring after a while, games similar for me to Nioh are DMC 3 and V, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Razor's Edge, Monster Hunter, Suikoden and other Team Ninja games. For example I enjoyed a lot Wo Long and loved replaying it but Sekiro was something I just played once, the new game plus was more of the same, I enjoyed the gauntlets and got the Tengu costume as proof but, meh I found that game both too long and too short, Ashina is big but there are boring parts, the snow, the begining of the timetravel level, the monkeys etc, NPC's lack of stories and interaction, the story is mediocre, compare it to Lies of P for example with amazing stories and NPC's, point is that Wo Long gives you lots of playthroughs different magics, weapons, arts, playing styles, builds etc, on Sifu and Sekiro this does not happen, while combat is too defensive and scripted, cutting your expression and dictating the rhytm, something you will never find in better games like DMC or Ninja Gaiden. In summary Nioh 2 is pure expression, freedom, overlapping mechanics and player choice while games like Sifu are more focused on just one mechanic that determines how the game can be played.
man, same. according to the director they would return to nioh after making other games and trying out a bunch of new stuff so they can return to this series with fresh ideas. hopefully nioh 3's on the horizon and isn't just left in the retirement home like ninja gaiden is. thanks for watching!
i mean, im expecting them to make no nioh 3, considering the japanese stories involve the "2 nioh's" and so nioh 1 and nioh 2 are about the 2 nioh's. So a nioh 3 could take place in the same universe, but I'd like if it wasnt nioh 3, considering that'd be a bit weird.
Oh great master is it possible to make a viable magic build with katana and magic and what attributes should I level? (I know I can google it but I want your opinion)
@@JohnSmith-se7pp 100%. My "main" build is a caster focused setup. Pretty much all offensive spells mixed with melee, and my in-game character logs shows it's quite close to 50/50 phys and magic damage it's kind of funny. If doing caster centric setup you go max magic (200, if you do high ng+ stat caps rise to 200), 150 courage. Courage strangely enough increases onmyo magic so upping that as a secondary is ideal, plus it helps greatly with ki recovery. there are a few endgame focused magic sets and they all work, i've tried them all lmao. Just wear what interests you in terms of flavoring that build, but it is 100% doable even through the most ridiculous difficulty of the post-post endgame of the depths which can make even seasoned players tap out or resort to co-oping to clear, I did solo with this build. Hope this helps :)
it's something i'm still working on perfecting. trying to not break my fingers going in and out of high stance during combos to keep my mid/low attacks from being repelled by guards lmao. it's definitely a long learning process 😅
For real. I'm only half as long in, and I'm still trying to improve on switching stances mid-combo to get the proper special combo ender for situations. God, I love this game.
@@terrymcdonald7877 rough. maybe one day you'll come back to it if you have the time. i was slow to pick up things personally but somehow got to a really good point with it. and if i can do it i really think anyone can lmao😅
Team Ninja has always been the kings of not just Hack-n-slash combat, but of all action combat period. Nioh 2, Ninja Gaiden, and Ninja Gaiden 2 are top 3 action combat in any game ever IMO. Even Final Fantasy: Stranger of Paradise combat ranks EXTREMELY high and underrated, which was also made by Team Ninja. Only reason people rate Stranger of Paradise low cuz the goofy story, goofy characters, and graphics do not look good at all for a modern game. But if a new Final Fantasy game had the same combat and job system of Stranger of Paradise, but just better story, characters, artstyle, and exploration, it would by far be the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time. I really hope Final Fantasy 17 combat takes huge inspiration from Stranger of Paradise.
I 1000000% agree, especially about SoP. That game is amazing. The characters do come off as goofy at first but honestly by the end I thought they were all amazing. Maybe I should make a video about that game too, lmao
Played Stranger of Paradise and genuinely thought “this is like Nioh 2, why am I playing this when I could be playing Nioh 2?” and deleted it and redownloaded Nioh 2.
The Nioh discord hated me because I used the omnyo austerity set to have infinite familiars along with sloth on Onmyo hit on an accessory and 3 piece tsukuyomi for weakness on omnyo hit. Then I just button mashed with fists or spammed changing ways with the splitstaff while spamming ippon datara and gozuki to stunlock the bosses even in depth 30 of the underworld. The fact that you clear the depths without any of that cheese on penance 9 is impressive af
Thanks man, I appreciate that. And lmao, a lot of them were probably jealous they couldn't clear it even with cheese Don't let it bother you, clearing the depths period is an accomplishment no matter how you do it. And I'm definitely proud my fragile setup could make it!! Thank you for watching!
@@lxtusmusic7643 haha yeah bro. I’m trying to get in the lab and get hella good so I don’t need all the op stuff but man the bosses have so much damn health in the end game lol
I remember i bought nioh 2 on a whim because i wanted to play something while i waited for Stellar Blade to come out. By the time it did come out, pretty much the whole time i was playing it i was thinking about how much i'd rather be playing Nioh instead. That was like 6 months ago and Nioh 2 is still my main game.
I Brought After Beating Sekiro & It Was Just Sitting For LikeA Year ~ I Almost Forgot I Had It ~ But When I Finally Played It ~ My Mind Was Blown How Good The Combat & Game Was For 20$
Went out over the weekend and picked up the remastered PS5 Nioh collection...Holy crap they are now officially the best 2 games I've ever played. The lighting and optimization is out of this world and they fixed not being able to walk up small ledges in the houses as well. Nioh 2 is the prettiest game I've ever played now. Oh yeah, the female characters are the hottest chics in videogames@@shape444
Nioh 1 and 2 have the best combat system ever made for a 3rd person action-rpg. And the incredible thing is that they are not so similar as we might think.
@@thmistrapillay1811 nah i'd agree, the combat system is so amazing. The system is amazing, but the fact on a normal playthrough you never get to fully dive into it, sets it back a bit.
I'm so happy there are people that truly understand how great Nioh as a series is. Not only as a Soulslike, but as an action game. It truly is up there with the Devil May Cry series. Nioh 2 was basically a masterpiece in terms of combat, and Souls never really got close, not even Elden Ring, good as those games are.
yeah, it's sad the series doesn't get the recognition it deserves. fromsoft games are great but not for the same reasons nioh and dmc are great. and it makes me a little disappointed action games have been trending towards souls/soulslikes and not the direction of those proper action games. 😔
definitely, it's a game that you can't expect to pick up and master over the course of a single play-through. Took me a while before it all began to click, it's only gotten better since!
I foresee myself spending thousands of hours playing this game and still have unexplored builds and combos that i can learn, no other game made me feel this way
Hi. Guy with 996.1 hours here: I have reached the skill ceiling on 2 weapons: Katana and Odachi, but I still have all the others to master. I have done a lv1 run from NG up to NG+4, but I still have to do underworld, and there's also stones of penance to go through. I mastered melee builds as a whole (Tank, glass cannon, Balanced, passive, aggressive, middle of the road, you name it.) but I still have to master magic gameplay and Yokai shift gameplay. This game truly doesn't end. Out of all my builds, only 1 has reached the peak of optimization as well.
@@nope6471 And my hypothesis is correct, I'm still a newbie trying to see what I like the most but based on what you said I'll still have near limitless content with this game even if reach the max ng+ and do all the missions
The biggest perk Nioh 2 has is that it nails the philosophy of self improvement. once you understand the basic foundations of combat and get comfy with the weapons and tools you like, the game pretty much opens up a whole world of potential, it encourages you to experiment and explore yourself, to figure out your mindset and how you’d approach fights. And with how fluid the combat is, plus the fact you can reset your stat distribution to fit whatever weapon you like, it’s never a chore to experiment. The game allows you to express and understand improve yourself , which is why I loved DMC and Ninja Gaiden (though the latter is more about efficiency and awareness), and why I can’t say the same for with Fromsoft games like Elden Ring (bad fanbase experience aside, I couldn’t agree with its combat philosophy). The fact Nioh 2 basically allows you to tweak and refine your playstyle as you go along is amazing. After 1000 hours and 100% completion it’s still fun to experiment and learn the other weapons and yokai abilities. I still flip flop between dual swords, tonfas, fists, sword, split staff and switchglaive etc. if DMC is about understanding how Dante, Vergil and Nero etc work and taking to their full potential, Nioh 2 is about taking YOU to your full potential. It’s also the closest thing you can get to a weeb power fantasy
Couldn't have said it better myself. Really. And that's probably the big deciding factor for me when comparing DMC and Nioh games. Understanding characters and how they're supposed to be played vs making your own character, expressing yourself and changing and fine tuning them with little fuss from the games system that in other games they might try to limit. They're both amazing in their own right but the freedom Nioh gives you trumps all. also it being weeb power fantasy helps lmao. thank you for your insightful comment :)
I true gem, a paragon of the action genre. The best thing about Nioh 2 is that it never forgets to be a GAME. It disregards mundane concepts of "cinematic presentation" or "super cool graphics". It just aimed always to be a GAME, with insane agency, and unparalleled depth in its mechanics. One of the best games out there.
Nioh 2 is simply peak. I’d still put DMC5 up there as my favorite action game, but Nioh 2 is like directly underneath it. It’s just so damn good and offer so many builds/customization/mechanics to truly give player expression. When you pull off back-to-back ki pulses to just DEMOLISH a yokai’s ki gauge it just feels goddamn good. Then you start integrating the unique weapon mechanics, yokai skills and yokai shift abilities and the game is just👌👌👌
One of my favorite games of all time. When the combat clicks there really is nothing like it. So many systems that work together flawlessly. The bottled magic with this game.
Having Platinum Nioh 2, I swear I had to force myself to stay WIDE awake while playing this game because I instantly die whenever I accidentally blink at the wrong moment.
Dude, this video is great! Thanks for making. I mean, I watched because I'm already sold, but I really hope it brings new people in. Oh! The one thing you didn't mention that keeps bringing ME back, is no matter how good you get, or how tough your build is, if you ever stop paying attention for more than 1 second, you can *always* get taken down a Gaki! Hahah.
gakis, and the red kappas. the least threatening things always get when when you're not paying attention!! and thank you! some people in the comments seem to have gotten more interested in the game after watching which is absolutely amazing to me. If this channel becomes bigger I'm definitely revisiting the game to try and convert more people over 😁
Tonfa's also have Tona Gun on the Sarutobi Gunsticks so whenever you finish a light or heavy attack combo with the opposite type of attack you make an explosion pop out the tonfa's tips. And while ASTRONOMICALLY rare Tonfa Gun can be on ANY tonfa so long as it's a natural star stat.
please bro we need the 60 Minute yap video , seriously I platinumed the game in it‘s first month (COVID really did help with that) and I can't get enough, just installed back onto my PS4 to finish my dream of the nioh run💪🏼
My favorite game. Personally, even if it isn't good, I even like the story. Also, a lot of people say the level design is bland. I think the opposite. It's just right. Also, this game is so deep that, after 700 hours and beating everything including max stone depths, I think "I'd like to go back to Nioh 2 sometome and actually learn how to play it". But maybe the game isn't just about learning advanced breathing techniques and slaying demons. Maybe the real game is about all the Kodamas we befriended along the way.
That 700 hours line hit hard cause that was 100% true for me, in Nioh 1 though. Once you put aside the cheese and meta abuse and try to properly learn the game it becomes a whole new animal.
Man, I pump almost 3000 hours into this game and I still enjoy it everytime I boost it up. I mainly play co-op depth, it's so much fun to just go in there and wreck stuffs up while also get to see what other players are rocking with.
When you know you know. The game truly is the Complete Edition. Gameplay, Graphics, Replayability, Engaging Content and i bet the most fun a good portion of us ever had. Also o/ to a fellow Kannagi enjoyer.
Nioh 1 and 2 are absolute gems. If o had advice for a new player, id say pick 1 weapon, pick one element and just build your character around that concept. Youll have a simple strategy and end up with a strong character with plenty of options that doesn't overwhelm.
solid advice, Nioh's definitely a lot of baby steps before you can really start walking and even running with the combat and all the systems there. so starting as small as possible and building your way up taking in what you can is the best approach for new players i feel. thanks for watching!!
Man this game was my shit earlier this year put nearly 100 hours in it such a great sequel and amazing improvement from the first one this game is just therapeutic.
nioh 2 was a game i was expecting to enjoy. i enjoyed it more than i expected to tho. it's really just a lightning in a bottle type of game. a masterpiece
it really is lightning in a bottle. i don't know if they'll ever be able to repeat this kind of a greatness but i'd love to see it from them in a future title.
I agree with you. I made a poison ninja build that took me months to perfect. I made a playlist for anyone interested... Straight up best game ever. The developers with this game wanted a game to be perfect and finished and not worry about a micro transaction swamp.
I really love this game, I knew it when it released for free in Epic Games Store and then I immediately bought Nioh 2 after finishing Nioh The Complete Edition... very fun game and I'd rather play it than most popular action games, it just isn't as popular as other souls and action games but it is a great game overall with the Japanese culture and demons spookiness in it.
like many others, i was playing this during the pandemic and played it over 800 hrs. I made so many builds and loved the online co op, i completely that it is the greatest action game of all time
I played these game series for around 6k hours together, most of them in Nioh 2, but I love both of them and they are undoubtedly on the top of my all time fav games, and I've been playing games since the 80's, so I had time to test a couple of them, but there is nothing like Nioh, not even Team Ninja has been able to surpass their own master piece :)
yep, true. they captured lightning in a bottle with nioh for sure, and definitely haven't been able to surpass it (yet!). it's possible they never will, but hopefully they do get around to (and don't drop the ball with) Nioh 3 some day. I'm really curious to see what kind of direction they'd take with it if nothing else!
In a Nioh video binge atm, I dont own the game but im a huge hack and slash fan, but more Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising. I wanted to see the hype for Nioh to see if I should pick it up as I know this is a bit of a souls like and has a targeting system unlike those 3. So this was the perfect video for me. Anyone else in the comments a hack and slash fan that plays Nioh?
@@VikingGoblin hack and slash? I can see why it looks like a hack and slash from the gameplay - but it’s more like if Tekken, Path of Exile and a ‘hack and slash’ had a threesome at a Soulslike Diddy party, this would be their love child. You should get this game 100%. He wasn’t lying, it is the best combat system of any game ever made. There’s a reason why Nioh 2 player count spiked 2 weeks after Wu Kong was released - it’s because people finished Wu Kong and it reminded them of how there’s nothing quite like Nioh 2. Get this game, play for it a bit and I promise you that you’ll be on your break at work thinking about builds and combos 😂
Man I miss this game! I have about 250 hours in it and the last thing I remember doing was grinding for the orange gear 😂 it got a bit too grindy in the end for me but you're making me want to start anew...
Hey, very nice video overall, you really show what the game is capable of, and it will hopefully make people more interested in the game. However, something that is not about the content is the background music in the video, which is a bit too loud sometimes. No offense, I just wanna let you know cause it will prob help you grow out more
hey absolutely no offense taken, I really appreciate your comment. Thank you for taking the time out to let me know, I'll keep that in mind going forward.
I think a lot of starting players are put off by the initial difficulty but once you start "beginning to believe" it is incomparable to other games in its genre. There are so many details in this game that are so underappreciated, mainly, the ungodly amounts of weapon attacks, that vary from weapon to weapon. To anyone that is new, DO THE SIDE MISSIONS, or you'll end up like me, 25 levels under the recommended one. It really makes a difference. Sure some enemies might still 2 hit you but at least you won't die to most bs attacks.
SOP is such a wonderful game. It starts off pretty corny but man does it do a 180 into pure amazing. The combat is really --probably expectedly great as well. hope you enjoy!
actually i have bought the game 3 days ago and now this video pops up further convincing me to finallly install it. looks great. i immediately noticed there are no dmg numbers on your screen. numbers cluttering the screen in other nioh clips was a turn off point for me but apparently you can just disable them. good
Just remember to put on the numbers when you’re in the dojo or build crafting. There’s a lot of damage bonuses and sources that may or may not stack or may or may not apply to certain skills and you won’t know which skills are slapping or wet noodling without numbers etc Good luck brother
I really should play it again, it's still installed all those years later, I know I'm a biasic "beach" for using the fists, but hey, even though it's easy it's still fun to hit that Ultra Combo move, especially with how much Super Armor it has, also I love the stance break hit, impaling someone on your fist than sending them flying will never not be fun. Also hitting them with the Primary Lotus is always fun
you should! and don't worry about being "basic" with fists--fists are actually a one of the most complex weapons. they just so happen to be easy to pick up and get started with. it also happens to be in my top 3 weps of nioh. can't ever go wrong with fists😁
it's definitely alot to learn, and getting better comes with time! i have a small discord of of nioh players that are happy to give pointers and advice and also I stream nioh daily (nightly), I'd be happy to give any advice or show you moves/combos that I like to use with any weapon to give you a better idea at how to use them. (links in description) thanks for watching :)
Iv'e just started playing nioh 2 again and im hooked. Using a kursarigama and a switchglave, definitely feel like ive improved a lot but still struggling in a lot of areas. Just got past Ryomen Sukuna, he took me a while.
Awesome! Sukuna's real tricky since his attacks pretty much cover so much space around him it makes it hard to stay on him without eating a lot of damage if you're not careful. I think he's a speed bump for a lot of people not used to fighting him because of it. Good stuff!
It's in that conversation for sure. Nioh 2 is as good as any game that Team Ninja ever made, and they made Ninja Gaiden. Truly a glorious achievement that takes elements from classic action and Souls and perfects the ARPG formula.
My fave team ninja game is definitely ninja gaiden 1 & 2 (360 ver of 2 of course)....but this makes me want to fire up Nioh 2 for sure...its wild that wo long still uses animations from NG2
I completely agree it’s the best. I have played 3000 hours of nioh 2. It was an addiction. wo long and ronin are very similar and they are still fun. But the atmosphere and art in nioh 2 is unmatched.
Excellent video and ecery reason i love the game. However on ki pulse ki refund it is important to note that you fully recover the white bar on perfect ki pulse, but you can recover more (all of ki used) if perfectly timing ki pulse with stance switch.
I wanted to mention that but I honestly thought it'd go over peoples heads so i left it as simple as possible, but definitely Flux/Flux II are super important to learn if you want to do some of the flashier things in this game combo wise!
@shape664 no doubt, I'm big on details also 😅😭 all I thought in my head was new players trying it and getting frustrated when it didn't work. I geek about this game too bro. Very well done video . Hope to see more man. 🙏🏾
hope you enjoy it! if you need any tips or advice I stream nioh pretty much daily, drop in or in the discord and I'll be happy to help. Thanks for watching :)
When this game came out I was stuck on it for a good 3 to 4 months, I mean I replayed it repeatedly using 2 wpns at a time. It's definitely up there on action games but in terms of the best I haven't found a game that Dethrones DMC 5.
I had so much fun with this game for years, a great improvement from nioh 1, also its fairly reasonable to 100% it. Absolutly worth the money I spent on day one.
You seem like someone that really engages with the gameplay systems and , mechanics of action games. Would like to see more videos on other action games. Dmc5 is the best imo but Nioh 2 is right up there.
Hey I appreciate your comment, I definitely plan to tackle more content with action games for sure. Currently--because it got requested a lot--Ninja Gaiden is the next game related content I'll be putting out. Then potentially DMC5 because I really would like to get back into that. I 100% the game (and then some) before Vergil came out but then never returned ...I aim to change that! Stay tuned!

One thing really underrated about this game and Wo Long is just how great the music is. Seriously, full of bangers.
The music for Hidden Village in Wo Long is beautiful
Wo Long opening sequence is one of my all my time favorite pieces of music.
Haven't played Wo Long to say either way, but Nioh's music being great? Truer words have never been spoken. Hardly any games' soundtracks manage to break into the rotation with my old faves these days. Or this decade. But Nioh 1 and 2 sure did.
I just wish I could find a better source for their soundtracks. And especially a better version of that super calm flute (or something like a flute, I'm no music expert) and violin theme for that first cave in the first game and several other missions afterward across both games. For some reason it seems easier to find Nioh 2's music specifically, and I don't know why.
the music in the interim is so good it should be criminal
This is a great breakdown of this game. I agree with every point you made here. It's one of those criminally underrated games that are just so incredibly good.
hey man! thanks so much for taking the time to check it out, i appreciate you.
No, it's just hard. It demand you learn and understand this games, then makes you become proficient.
bsg knows!
Don't think Nioh is underrated
Nioh 2 is the most underrated action title in the last 10 maybe 20 years. I cant think of another game with the disparity between the quality and gameplay loop being as high as it is contrasted with how little it's brought up in conversation. It's criminally underrated.
Agreed, 100000%. It's almost painful to see and even worse, to see it get minimized especially by non-players. At least give it a shot people!!

What makes Ninja Gaiden, especially Ninja Gaiden Black, the best? As developer Tomonobu Itagaki said, “what sets Ninja Gaiden apart is that the enemies are smart and intelligent-they’re out to kill you. In other games, there may be lots of enemies, but they’re all stupid; they just stand there for you to cut them up and make you feel good. If you’re going to do that, you might as well cut vegetables.”

I never thought i'd spend more time on Nioh 2 than the original Fromsoftware Souls games.
It's just the perfect mix of great combat, bite-size mission based progression, Diablo-like itemization and a way better NG+ cycles system and endgame.
One of my favorite games of all time for sure.

But it is rare for people to give Nioh the kind of praise it deserves, and it was nice to see it come from someone who appreciates arguably the two most technically maximal action games in existence
It’s rare to find someone who enjoys Nioh and dmc, kinda feels like both fanbases are fighting each other over what’s better when both Nioh 2 and DMC3/4/5 offer 10/10 combat.
although there are certain things that are better in either of the series, like Nioh 2 undoubtedly has better and more engaging enemy design, whilst I feel that dmc has better bosses and obviously offers infinitely more creative expression.
@@1-800-nonya Wrong. DMC got worse as time went on. 5 is the most boring one in the series
Nioh 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Nioh 2, Sekiro, Armored Core 6, Sifu, Hades, and Risk of Rain 2 are games that I will never be tired of.
Wow, the other games are really something I definitely consider way inferior to Nioh, armored core is meh, Sekiro is repetitive and inferior lacking creativity and options, just a rhytm game, Sifu is also another defensive Game parry based lacking of creativity and character designs, Hades is good but too long and kinda boring after a while, games similar for me to Nioh are DMC 3 and V, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Razor's Edge, Monster Hunter, Suikoden and other Team Ninja games.
For example I enjoyed a lot Wo Long and loved replaying it but Sekiro was something I just played once, the new game plus was more of the same, I enjoyed the gauntlets and got the Tengu costume as proof but, meh I found that game both too long and too short, Ashina is big but there are boring parts, the snow, the begining of the timetravel level, the monkeys etc, NPC's lack of stories and interaction, the story is mediocre, compare it to Lies of P for example with amazing stories and NPC's, point is that Wo Long gives you lots of playthroughs different magics, weapons, arts, playing styles, builds etc, on Sifu and Sekiro this does not happen, while combat is too defensive and scripted, cutting your expression and dictating the rhytm, something you will never find in better games like DMC or Ninja Gaiden.
In summary Nioh 2 is pure expression, freedom, overlapping mechanics and player choice while games like Sifu are more focused on just one mechanic that determines how the game can be played.
ror2 mentioned RAHHH
@@stargazer137 WHAT THE FUCK IS A FUNCTIONAL UPDATE??!!! RAAAAAH
that's true, sekiro with mods is another world, add a lot of skills and movility, but nioh 2 is the best

"Sekiro2Nioh"
Have 1500+ hours in nioh 2, done everything and played with any build, easilly my favorite game of all time and i hope nioh 3 happens someday
man, same. according to the director they would return to nioh after making other games and trying out a bunch of new stuff so they can return to this series with fresh ideas. hopefully nioh 3's on the horizon and isn't just left in the retirement home like ninja gaiden is.
thanks for watching!
i mean, im expecting them to make no nioh 3, considering the japanese stories involve the "2 nioh's" and so nioh 1 and nioh 2 are about the 2 nioh's. So a nioh 3 could take place in the same universe, but I'd like if it wasnt nioh 3, considering that'd be a bit weird.
Oh great master is it possible to make a viable magic build with katana and magic and what attributes should I level? (I know I can google it but I want your opinion)
@@JohnSmith-se7pp 100%. My "main" build is a caster focused setup. Pretty much all offensive spells mixed with melee, and my in-game character logs shows it's quite close to 50/50 phys and magic damage it's kind of funny. If doing caster centric setup you go max magic (200, if you do high ng+ stat caps rise to 200), 150 courage. Courage strangely enough increases onmyo magic so upping that as a secondary is ideal, plus it helps greatly with ki recovery.
there are a few endgame focused magic sets and they all work, i've tried them all lmao. Just wear what interests you in terms of flavoring that build, but it is 100% doable even through the most ridiculous difficulty of the post-post endgame of the depths which can make even seasoned players tap out or resort to co-oping to clear, I did solo with this build. Hope this helps :)
@@shape444 thanks boss it did help
500+ hours on this game and I'm still learning. Switching stances during combos took me forever.
it's something i'm still working on perfecting. trying to not break my fingers going in and out of high stance during combos to keep my mid/low attacks from being repelled by guards lmao. it's definitely a long learning process 😅
For real. I'm only half as long in, and I'm still trying to improve on switching stances mid-combo to get the proper special combo ender for situations.
God, I love this game.
I had to use We mod in order to progress 😢

Nioh 2 video in 2024 ? Dude 🔥
I will still be playing this game 30 years from now
same. wanna schedule a co-op session for 2054? lmao
Team Ninja has always been the kings of not just Hack-n-slash combat, but of all action combat period. Nioh 2, Ninja Gaiden, and Ninja Gaiden 2 are top 3 action combat in any game ever IMO.
Even Final Fantasy: Stranger of Paradise combat ranks EXTREMELY high and underrated, which was also made by Team Ninja. Only reason people rate Stranger of Paradise low cuz the goofy story, goofy characters, and graphics do not look good at all for a modern game. But if a new Final Fantasy game had the same combat and job system of Stranger of Paradise, but just better story, characters, artstyle, and exploration, it would by far be the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time. I really hope Final Fantasy 17 combat takes huge inspiration from Stranger of Paradise.
I 1000000% agree, especially about SoP. That game is amazing. The characters do come off as goofy at first but honestly by the end I thought they were all amazing. Maybe I should make a video about that game too, lmao
@@shape444 bruh that ending gave me goosebumps when Wol walked through the door

Played Stranger of Paradise and genuinely thought “this is like Nioh 2, why am I playing this when I could be playing Nioh 2?” and deleted it and redownloaded Nioh 2.

The Nioh discord hated me because I used the omnyo austerity set to have infinite familiars along with sloth on Onmyo hit on an accessory and 3 piece tsukuyomi for weakness on omnyo hit. Then I just button mashed with fists or spammed changing ways with the splitstaff while spamming ippon datara and gozuki to stunlock the bosses even in depth 30 of the underworld. The fact that you clear the depths without any of that cheese on penance 9 is impressive af
Thanks man, I appreciate that. And lmao, a lot of them were probably jealous they couldn't clear it even with cheese

I remember i bought nioh 2 on a whim because i wanted to play something while i waited for Stellar Blade to come out. By the time it did come out, pretty much the whole time i was playing it i was thinking about how much i'd rather be playing Nioh instead. That was like 6 months ago and Nioh 2 is still my main game.
I Brought After Beating Sekiro & It Was Just Sitting For LikeA Year ~ I Almost Forgot I Had It ~ But When I Finally Played It ~ My Mind Was Blown How Good The Combat & Game Was For 20$
Glad seeing more people talking about their experience playing the Nioh series. Excellent video!
Dude I did the same thing I tried it and quit it at least four times in the last 4 years finally got into it it's fucking amazing.
lmao it really is.
Went out over the weekend and picked up the remastered PS5 Nioh collection...Holy crap they are now officially the best 2 games I've ever played. The lighting and optimization is out of this world and they fixed not being able to walk up small ledges in the houses as well. Nioh 2 is the prettiest game I've ever played now. Oh yeah, the female characters are the hottest chics in videogames@@shape444
Nioh 1 and 2 have the best combat system ever made for a 3rd person action-rpg. And the incredible thing is that they are not so similar as we might think.
HEAVY disagree but they are still good
@@thmistrapillay1811 nah i'd agree, the combat system is so amazing. The system is amazing, but the fact on a normal playthrough you never get to fully dive into it, sets it back a bit.
I'm so mad I literally just stumbled across this game a few months ago. And I'm totally hooked! How did I miss this 4 yrs ago I don't know.
I'm so happy there are people that truly understand how great Nioh as a series is. Not only as a Soulslike, but as an action game. It truly is up there with the Devil May Cry series. Nioh 2 was basically a masterpiece in terms of combat, and Souls never really got close, not even Elden Ring, good as those games are.
yeah, it's sad the series doesn't get the recognition it deserves. fromsoft games are great but not for the same reasons nioh and dmc are great. and it makes me a little disappointed action games have been trending towards souls/soulslikes and not the direction of those proper action games. 😔
watching someone really good at Nioh 2 play is like watching a painter or musician, it is that good of a combat system.
100% agree, i wanna see more nioh players showing their stuff cause this game allows for some amazing displays of player expression.
bro has never played hello kitty adventures
Or any from soft game whatsoever lmao
@@steveolive214 Video title refers to action games not press a singular combo button(R1) and occasionally circle simulator.
@@hoishiesports3159 just get gud
I remember playing this when it came out and getting overwhelmed by all of the combos and systems in the game. I gotta pick it back up some day.
definitely, it's a game that you can't expect to pick up and master over the course of a single play-through. Took me a while before it all began to click, it's only gotten better since!
I foresee myself spending thousands of hours playing this game and still have unexplored builds and combos that i can learn, no other game made me feel this way
Yup, agreed 100%. It's that complexity and variety that makes it the greatest for me. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Guy with 996.1 hours here: I have reached the skill ceiling on 2 weapons: Katana and Odachi, but I still have all the others to master. I have done a lv1 run from NG up to NG+4, but I still have to do underworld, and there's also stones of penance to go through. I mastered melee builds as a whole (Tank, glass cannon, Balanced, passive, aggressive, middle of the road, you name it.) but I still have to master magic gameplay and Yokai shift gameplay. This game truly doesn't end. Out of all my builds, only 1 has reached the peak of optimization as well.
@@nope6471 And my hypothesis is correct, I'm still a newbie trying to see what I like the most but based on what you said I'll still have near limitless content with this game even if reach the max ng+ and do all the missions
The biggest perk Nioh 2 has is that it nails the philosophy of self improvement. once you understand the basic foundations of combat and get comfy with the weapons and tools you like, the game pretty much opens up a whole world of potential, it encourages you to experiment and explore yourself, to figure out your mindset and how you’d approach fights. And with how fluid the combat is, plus the fact you can reset your stat distribution to fit whatever weapon you like, it’s never a chore to experiment. The game allows you to express and understand improve yourself , which is why I loved DMC and Ninja Gaiden (though the latter is more about efficiency and awareness), and why I can’t say the same for with Fromsoft games like Elden Ring (bad fanbase experience aside, I couldn’t agree with its combat philosophy).
The fact Nioh 2 basically allows you to tweak and refine your playstyle as you go along is amazing. After 1000 hours and 100% completion it’s still fun to experiment and learn the other weapons and yokai abilities. I still flip flop between dual swords, tonfas, fists, sword, split staff and switchglaive etc. if DMC is about understanding how Dante, Vergil and Nero etc work and taking to their full potential, Nioh 2 is about taking YOU to your full potential. It’s also the closest thing you can get to a weeb power fantasy
Couldn't have said it better myself. Really. And that's probably the big deciding factor for me when comparing DMC and Nioh games. Understanding characters and how they're supposed to be played vs making your own character, expressing yourself and changing and fine tuning them with little fuss from the games system that in other games they might try to limit. They're both amazing in their own right but the freedom Nioh gives you trumps all.
also it being weeb power fantasy helps lmao.
thank you for your insightful comment :)
Had a great time with both games. Don't know anything about the story but the gameplay and jolly coop was so much fun.
Bro just covered two of my favorite games in back to back videos subbed.❤
we both have great taste what more can be said. thanks
I true gem, a paragon of the action genre. The best thing about Nioh 2 is that it never forgets to be a GAME. It disregards mundane concepts of "cinematic presentation" or "super cool graphics". It just aimed always to be a GAME, with insane agency, and unparalleled depth in its mechanics. One of the best games out there.
100%!! Could not have said it better myself.
If anything in the game troubles you. get as many scampusses as you can. Any human boss will feel the power of those deadly flurry balls immediately.
I’ve played this game so much I can’t even imagine a better game honestly
Nioh 2 so slept on . . Also the fact you can transmog your armor . .
Nioh 2 is simply peak. I’d still put DMC5 up there as my favorite action game, but Nioh 2 is like directly underneath it. It’s just so damn good and offer so many builds/customization/mechanics to truly give player expression.
When you pull off back-to-back ki pulses to just DEMOLISH a yokai’s ki gauge it just feels goddamn good. Then you start integrating the unique weapon mechanics, yokai skills and yokai shift abilities and the game is just👌👌👌
Yes the nioh games changed my life on action games. I bought nioh 2 again on ps5 remastered. Freakn love that game.
One of my favorite games of all time. When the combat clicks there really is nothing like it. So many systems that work together flawlessly. The bottled magic with this game.
Every time I come back to nioh out always feels amazing
Having Platinum Nioh 2, I swear I had to force myself to stay WIDE awake while playing this game because I instantly die whenever I accidentally blink at the wrong moment.
Awesome video man, well done!
I just finished my 6th playthrough of the game and now you make me wanna play it again XD
I loved your insight, please make more videos!
Justice for Nioh 2 👊
Dude, this video is great! Thanks for making. I mean, I watched because I'm already sold, but I really hope it brings new people in. Oh! The one thing you didn't mention that keeps bringing ME back, is no matter how good you get, or how tough your build is, if you ever stop paying attention for more than 1 second, you can *always* get taken down a Gaki! Hahah.
gakis, and the red kappas. the least threatening things always get when when you're not paying attention!!
and thank you! some people in the comments seem to have gotten more interested in the game after watching which is absolutely amazing to me. If this channel becomes bigger I'm definitely revisiting the game to try and convert more people over 😁
You just made me want to start new... guess I have a reason to play on pc. A fresh start because I'm inspired now.
love to see it. welcome back :)
and thanks for watching!
Reinstalling as I watch, this always happens. Great video!
Structure and info in vid was really good
Tonfa's also have Tona Gun on the Sarutobi Gunsticks so whenever you finish a light or heavy attack combo with the opposite type of attack you make an explosion pop out the tonfa's tips. And while ASTRONOMICALLY rare Tonfa Gun can be on ANY tonfa so long as it's a natural star stat.
I’m glad that I tried Nioh 1 and 2.
Coming from playing all Souls games I thought let’s give this a try and Damn I just found a gem of a game!
please bro we need the 60 Minute yap video , seriously I platinumed the game in it‘s first month (COVID really did help with that) and I can't get enough, just installed back onto my PS4 to finish my dream of the nioh run💪🏼
My favorite game. Personally, even if it isn't good, I even like the story. Also, a lot of people say the level design is bland. I think the opposite. It's just right.
Also, this game is so deep that, after 700 hours and beating everything including max stone depths, I think "I'd like to go back to Nioh 2 sometome and actually learn how to play it".
But maybe the game isn't just about learning advanced breathing techniques and slaying demons. Maybe the real game is about all the Kodamas we befriended along the way.
That 700 hours line hit hard cause that was 100% true for me, in Nioh 1 though. Once you put aside the cheese and meta abuse and try to properly learn the game it becomes a whole new animal.
@@shape444 Exactly.
Man, I pump almost 3000 hours into this game and I still enjoy it everytime I boost it up. I mainly play co-op depth, it's so much fun to just go in there and wreck stuffs up while also get to see what other players are rocking with.
When you know you know. The game truly is the Complete Edition. Gameplay, Graphics, Replayability, Engaging Content and i bet the most fun a good portion of us ever had. Also o/ to a fellow Kannagi enjoyer.
Nioh 1 and 2 are absolute gems. If o had advice for a new player, id say pick 1 weapon, pick one element and just build your character around that concept. Youll have a simple strategy and end up with a strong character with plenty of options that doesn't overwhelm.
solid advice, Nioh's definitely a lot of baby steps before you can really start walking and even running with the combat and all the systems there. so starting as small as possible and building your way up taking in what you can is the best approach for new players i feel. thanks for watching!!
@shape664 yeah and then halfway through your game you can galaxy brain and start using the whole kitchen sink 😅
Wow what a breakdown, this is awesome thanks!
Kusarigama is fast and has range. My go-to in both games.
Man this game was my shit earlier this year put nearly 100 hours in it such a great sequel and amazing improvement from the first one this game is just therapeutic.
nioh 2 was a game i was expecting to enjoy. i enjoyed it more than i expected to tho. it's really just a lightning in a bottle type of game. a masterpiece
it really is lightning in a bottle. i don't know if they'll ever be able to repeat this kind of a greatness but i'd love to see it from them in a future title.
I agree with you. I made a poison ninja build that took me months to perfect.
I made a playlist for anyone interested...
Straight up best game ever.
The developers with this game wanted a game to be perfect and finished and not worry about a micro transaction swamp.
Gotta love quality Nioh content.
I always end up re downloading nioh 2, started playing again a few days ago.
No matter how many hours ive put on to the game it never gets boring
I really love this game, I knew it when it released for free in Epic Games Store and then I immediately bought Nioh 2 after finishing Nioh The Complete Edition... very fun game and I'd rather play it than most popular action games, it just isn't as popular as other souls and action games but it is a great game overall with the Japanese culture and demons spookiness in it.
the final form of nioh players is turning off the damage numbers to see the glorious combos better
I do that in all games right in the beginning. I want to see all the moves.
That's how I started this game I've never seen my damage numbers
Damage numbers and motion blur are the two things I will always remove before I play a game
like many others, i was playing this during the pandemic and played it over 800 hrs. I made so many builds and loved the online co op, i completely that it is the greatest action game of all time
I played these game series for around 6k hours together, most of them in Nioh 2, but I love both of them and they are undoubtedly on the top of my all time fav games, and I've been playing games since the 80's, so I had time to test a couple of them, but there is nothing like Nioh, not even Team Ninja has been able to surpass their own master piece :)
yep, true. they captured lightning in a bottle with nioh for sure, and definitely haven't been able to surpass it (yet!). it's possible they never will, but hopefully they do get around to (and don't drop the ball with) Nioh 3 some day. I'm really curious to see what kind of direction they'd take with it if nothing else!
4 years and I still can't get enough, I feel bad for the people who still play diablo and path of exile
cus everybody dont want to play this shit
Why not play all of them? I have...
In a Nioh video binge atm, I dont own the game but im a huge hack and slash fan, but more Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising. I wanted to see the hype for Nioh to see if I should pick it up as I know this is a bit of a souls like and has a targeting system unlike those 3. So this was the perfect video for me. Anyone else in the comments a hack and slash fan that plays Nioh?
@@VikingGoblin hack and slash? I can see why it looks like a hack and slash from the gameplay - but it’s more like if Tekken, Path of Exile and a ‘hack and slash’ had a threesome at a Soulslike Diddy party, this would be their love child.
You should get this game 100%. He wasn’t lying, it is the best combat system of any game ever made.
There’s a reason why Nioh 2 player count spiked 2 weeks after Wu Kong was released - it’s because people finished Wu Kong and it reminded them of how there’s nothing quite like Nioh 2.
Get this game, play for it a bit and I promise you that you’ll be on your break at work thinking about builds and combos 😂
Team ninja is great. Devil may cry is on the same level. Platinum games too.
Man I miss this game! I have about 250 hours in it and the last thing I remember doing was grinding for the orange gear 😂 it got a bit too grindy in the end for me but you're making me want to start anew...
Hey, very nice video overall, you really show what the game is capable of, and it will hopefully make people more interested in the game. However, something that is not about the content is the background music in the video, which is a bit too loud sometimes. No offense, I just wanna let you know cause it will prob help you grow out more
hey absolutely no offense taken, I really appreciate your comment. Thank you for taking the time out to let me know, I'll keep that in mind going forward.
never been constantly enjoying a game like Nioh 2.....
thank you team ninja for making the best game ever
Ive never played this Bouta pick this up soon 😎 good info thanks!
I also think the soundtrack is underrated 🔥
Ehh not my thing tbh, non of the music stuck with me so I just play my own.
I think a lot of starting players are put off by the initial difficulty but once you start "beginning to believe" it is incomparable to other games in its genre. There are so many details in this game that are so underappreciated, mainly, the ungodly amounts of weapon attacks, that vary from weapon to weapon. To anyone that is new, DO THE SIDE MISSIONS, or you'll end up like me, 25 levels under the recommended one. It really makes a difference. Sure some enemies might still 2 hit you but at least you won't die to most bs attacks.
I’ve beaten it twice on PC & PS. Playing Wo Long currently then SOP. Will 100% do another run of Nioh 2 before 2025.
SOP is such a wonderful game. It starts off pretty corny but man does it do a 180 into pure amazing. The combat is really --probably expectedly great as well. hope you enjoy!
actually i have bought the game 3 days ago and now this video pops up further convincing me to finallly install it. looks great. i immediately noticed there are no dmg numbers on your screen. numbers cluttering the screen in other nioh clips was a turn off point for me but apparently you can just disable them. good
yup you can disable them in the menus. Definitely give it a go man you won't regret it
Just remember to put on the numbers when you’re in the dojo or build crafting.
There’s a lot of damage bonuses and sources that may or may not stack or may or may not apply to certain skills and you won’t know which skills are slapping or wet noodling without numbers etc
Good luck brother
Nice breakdown
Nioh 2 is one of the games that i love coming bacak to and play xd i feel bit addicted by now
man, same. lmao
The song at the intro is Imagawa Yoshimoto's theme from Nioh 2, for anyone wondering.
well done
I really should play it again, it's still installed all those years later, I know I'm a biasic "beach" for using the fists, but hey, even though it's easy it's still fun to hit that Ultra Combo move, especially with how much Super Armor it has, also I love the stance break hit, impaling someone on your fist than sending them flying will never not be fun.
Also hitting them with the Primary Lotus is always fun
you should! and don't worry about being "basic" with fists--fists are actually a one of the most complex weapons. they just so happen to be easy to pick up and get started with. it also happens to be in my top 3 weps of nioh. can't ever go wrong with fists😁
I really need to give this game more thought and time
More people do! If you want any help or advice I have a stream/small discord in the description if you want to pop in and throw out some questions.

Always come back to the Niohs
Agreed I’m on my hiatus to but I going back myself

Wherever there is Nioh, Scampuss is there!
Snuggly nuzzly old me approves of this video.
I have a love hate relationship with this game mainly cause I refuse to get good. Your video has convinced me to do another full run, thanks chief
Time to come out of retirement, great video btw, im new here and this was a great first impression from you. Salute.
I agree with your video title.
I just picked up the game again. Low encumbrance magic axe wielder on this run.
Iv'e just started playing nioh 2 again and im hooked. Using a kursarigama and a switchglave, definitely feel like ive improved a lot but still struggling in a lot of areas. Just got past Ryomen Sukuna, he took me a while.
Awesome! Sukuna's real tricky since his attacks pretty much cover so much space around him it makes it hard to stay on him without eating a lot of damage if you're not careful. I think he's a speed bump for a lot of people not used to fighting him because of it. Good stuff!
It's in that conversation for sure. Nioh 2 is as good as any game that Team Ninja ever made, and they made Ninja Gaiden. Truly a glorious achievement that takes elements from classic action and Souls and perfects the ARPG formula.
My fave team ninja game is definitely ninja gaiden 1 & 2 (360 ver of 2 of course)....but this makes me want to fire up Nioh 2 for sure...its wild that wo long still uses animations from NG2
I completely agree it’s the best. I have played 3000 hours of nioh 2. It was an addiction. wo long and ronin are very similar and they are still fun. But the atmosphere and art in nioh 2 is unmatched.
Couldn't agree more, I have 3000 hours, and it never get's old. The only complaint I have are the forced team-ups, I hate those missions.
Excellent video and ecery reason i love the game. However on ki pulse ki refund it is important to note that you fully recover the white bar on perfect ki pulse, but you can recover more (all of ki used) if perfectly timing ki pulse with stance switch.
I wanted to mention that but I honestly thought it'd go over peoples heads so i left it as simple as possible, but definitely Flux/Flux II are super important to learn if you want to do some of the flashier things in this game combo wise!
@shape664 no doubt, I'm big on details also 😅😭 all I thought in my head was new players trying it and getting frustrated when it didn't work. I geek about this game too bro. Very well done video . Hope to see more man. 🙏🏾

Nioh 2 is the best soul like ever
Saying that
Ninja gaiden 2 from Itagaki is the greatest action game of all time
When this game came out I was stuck on it for a good 3 to 4 months, I mean I replayed it repeatedly using 2 wpns at a time. It's definitely up there on action games but in terms of the best I haven't found a game that Dethrones DMC 5.
if not for Nioh 2, DMC 5 would 100% be my number 1. DMC 5 and 3 are numbers 2 and 3 actually lmao
@@shape444 for sure Nioh 2 is in my top 5 games of all time.
I had so much fun with this game for years, a great improvement from nioh 1, also its fairly reasonable to 100% it. Absolutly worth the money I spent on day one.
You seem like someone that really engages with the gameplay systems and , mechanics of action games. Would like to see more videos on other action games. Dmc5 is the best imo but Nioh 2 is right up there.
Hey I appreciate your comment, I definitely plan to tackle more content with action games for sure. Currently--because it got requested a lot--Ninja Gaiden is the next game related content I'll be putting out. Then potentially DMC5 because I really would like to get back into that. I 100% the game (and then some) before Vergil came out but then never returned ...I aim to change that! Stay tuned!
