Nioh 2
When the original Nioh released back in 2017, we adored the combat and found the setting of feudal Japan to be quite immersive, but the only big thing that was lacking was the narrative.
Pushing the not-so-great story to the side though, Team Ninja did an excellent job of bringing back the action and world-building that a game like Ninja Gaiden did so well. It’s not a “spiritual successor” but it does hearken back to the series with several callbacks.
Nioh 2 seems to be hitting all of the same notes as its predecessor by giving fans a hardcore action game with very difficult, Dark Souls-esque combat. There also won’t be an easy mode in Nioh 2, but since it’s a prequel, newcomers will be able to jump in without prior knowledge of the series.
Nioh fans are counting down the days until Mar. 13 and even though the game looks incredible, I doubt that it’ll get much attention, considering that some pretty big titles are coming out around the same time, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Eternal.
