Nioh 3

*Review is subject to changes As a casual player who spent 762 hours playing Nioh 2, Nioh 3 was not what I expected. Despite having good hardware specifications, the game does not run as smoothly as I would like. Even several months after release, there is still no support for FSR 4.1 or even FSR 4, with only FSR 3.1 available. To achieve better performance and image quality, players currently need to rely on third-party software such as OptiScaler. The two combat styles were very interesting at first. Samurai style appeared to focus on damage, while Ninja style emphasized speed. However, as I progressed further into the game, I realized that the combat system is designed around using both styles together. The most effective strategy is often to use Ninja style to quickly deplete an enemy's Ki, then switch to Samurai style to maximize damage while they are vulnerable to staggering. The issue is that some bosses are so fast and provide such small attack windows that remaining in Ninja style becomes the safer and more practical option. A good example is Tokugawa Kunimatsu, the boss encountered in the cellar. The open-world design was also interesting initially, but over time the enemies became repetitive and many areas began to feel lacking in variety. As someone who generally enjoys open-world games, I actually found myself preferring the mission-based structure of Nioh 2, as it offered greater environmental diversity and more varied enemy encounters. Another issue is the map system. Opening the map sometimes results in long loading times, sometimes more than 1 minute. This becomes increasingly frustrating during extended play sessions and disrupts the overall pacing of the game. If the game had been built on a newer engine, the experience would have been significantly improved, both in terms of performance and graphical quality. As it stands, the open world feels held back by technical limitations and a lack of diversity in its environments and enemy encounters. This is not to say, that I didn't enjoy the game. I did enjoy it, though the game could've been better.

the NIOH series - it is the GOAT for combat. This game included. I love it. I loved Nioh 2, and the original. This one is definitely worth the title but it is pretty different in a number of ways. If you loved the combat from the others, it is still here, but you do have to unlock stances for Samurai to get the high/mid/low the signature Nioh combat system, it doesn't take long, the game has other combat quirks for you to learn also, so it is gradual in the beginning. Experiment with other weapons. It's a fun surprise when you like one you didn't expect. The shield weapons are a blast actually, especially the Ninja variety, I recommend spending a day or two with a weapon type before giving up on it. Try to increase familiarity as often as possible because the "offering" is worth more with a weapon that has familiarity on it - so max one, max another, and another. Learn crucible skills. I think the revenants are a bit too easy in the first playthrough but I know that they can have difficulty spikes in the other games so I expect that later. It's good to earn Glory for now. Bloodedge Demon has my number though. Thanks Team Ninja for NIOH 3 :)

Editing review after I realised the lag was caused by my xbox controller (and fixed by using a cable and not bluetooth). Great game otherwise, really enjoy the combat, the depth etc.

优化真的一坨

感觉越来越无聊了

Une préférence pour Nioh 2 mais si vous avez jamais fait un nioh sa peut être une très bonne expérience ! Du Farm and Loot pour crée ces meilleurs build, des combat spectaculaire, monde ouvert un peut facile on dirait ubisoft mais c'est quand même bien.

背景太暗，色彩很不自然。

Primeira vez que publico uma análise de um jogo na Steam. O jogo é bonito e, nas primeiras horas, impressiona bastante visualmente. O FPS se mantém estável e a experiência parece promissora. Porém, conforme você avança na campanha, o desempenho começa a cair cada vez mais, chegando a um ponto em que fica praticamente impossível enfrentar alguns bosses de forma adequada. Por enquanto, minha recomendação continuará negativa. Só pretendo mudar minha avaliação quando o jogo receber melhorias significativas de otimização. De nada adianta lançar uma nova DLC se o jogo base ainda apresenta problemas sérios de desempenho. Primeiro é preciso otimizar e melhorar a experiência para os jogadores que já compraram o jogo.
