And while it’s nice to think others might help you based off a spirit of pure altruism, they’ll likely be more motivated to assist thanks to the lucrative in-game rewards they can reap (regardless if it’s a victory or defeat).
Luckily, you won’t have to do everything alone, as you’ll have plenty of opportunities to summon other players into the mix-this is often a crucial component when challenging some of the meanest Yokai. When you manage to beat a mission or take down a particularly nasty boss, you’ll feel utter elation immediately after. More than anything, Nioh isn’t shy about its difficulty-in fact, it wears it like a badge of honor. You’ll also have to contend with other samurai, and often more than one at a time, requiring intense concentration, lightning-quick reflexes, and deep tactics. Your journey takes place within the Warring States period, and you’ll do battle against numerous variations of Yokai: horrific demons heavily inspired by Japanese folklore. In the game, William's warrior skills come in quite useful indeed, as you’ll face seemingly insurmountable challenges around every corner. You play as blond-haired lone traveler William, a deadly swordsman loosely based on a real-life English navigation officer who served beneath Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Nioh, as you may have figured out by its imagery, is drenched in 1600’s Samurai lore. Plus, there are a variety of graphics settings and options to choose from, along with two quick-start presets: the 60 FPS Action Mode, and the cinematic Movie Mode, which includes 4K support.

On top of the original game, it comes with three expansions: Dragon of the North, Defiant Honor, and Bloodshed’s End. Fans clamored for a PC version, and now it’s officially here, in the form of Nioh: Complete Edition. When Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo Games’ Nioh went live on the PS4 earlier this year, critics and fans alike praised its challenging, strategic combat system, 17th century Japanese setting, focus on exploration, and hardcore gameplay, reminiscent of the hugely popular Dark Souls series.
