![]() I would have sold the game if I HAD to play it at home during my downtime because most of my gaming time spent not actually playing the game is frustrating at best.Top - # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZĬompatibility list for Nintendont. It's such a slog of near constant dialogue and cutscenes that I just couldn't have gotten through it if I wasn't playing it here and there on my work breaks. There's a damn lot of dialogue in Yakuza from what I experienced and these days when I'm at home playing a game, I want to be PLAYING the game, not reading/listening to dialogue and watching cutscenes.Īs an example, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 being on Switch is the only reason I've managed to near finish it. I loved what I played of them BUT it goes alongside me saying I would love any heavily story/dialogue focused game to be on Switch. It's a good fit for Switch being an older Metroidvania. I would love Symphony of the Night since despite loving the series and finishing basically everything else, I've never gotten around to this. ![]() You kinda have to know what you're getting into when you want to enjoy these games. Great games overall, it's a strong recommendation from me but also a very big investment of time and persistence. It's much less convoluted and there are really cool rewards and collectibles you receive from participating in any form of online play. Blocking is very important in Nioh despite the high mobility of the player character.Īnother part where Nioh improves over the Souls series I feel is the online play. It was also difficult adjusting to the fact that sometimes it's actually best to block even though I've been running dodge builds since the start of playing Souls. That should really speak volumes about the difficulty of the experience. Even after playing Nioh 1 and a ton of other Souls-like games (even 2D ones) I still struggled with a lot of bosses in 2. Also you can customise your moveset to your liking and you don't need to have a meter like in DS3 which doesn't allow you to use some of the more complicated, flashy moves. Nioh steps it up much higher because it's pretty much compulsory that you use different types of weapons and stances to get through. In Souls there is nothing really stopping you from using the same basic weapon and the same basic moves to get through the game. It takes a lot of getting used to but it's very rewarding pulling it off. The combat itself I feel is much more challenging and fast-paced than any of the Souls games. The games aren't weak on the soundtrack/sound design front. I'd incentivise you to check them out on YouTube if you have the time. The music in both Nioh games is also great, in my opinion. It's also arguable that Dark Souls doesn't tell its story all that well either, but I feel FromSoft are much stronger at environmental storytelling. I think the second game writes the story much better than the first but still it's not optimal. Honestly, I like the story in Nioh a lot but I can see why people say it's rather poorly told. If you've played any Samurai Warriors games you'll probably recognise a lot of the names. It doesn't have map design as strong as Dark Souls and its lore is somewhat based on real world events such as the samurai era in Japan. I feel like if you're familiar with Monster Hunter and how crazy micromanagement can get in those games then you sort of get the idea of what it's like in Nioh. It's honestly a lot more complicated than any Dark Souls game and can probably be very intimidating at the start. In Nioh if you want to min-max theres also a hell of a lot of micromanagement with equipment, items, skill-points and level points. You can confidently watch the story cutscenes and maybe look at some of the bosses in Nioh 1 to get a general idea and then hop into Nioh 2 unless you're like me and you absolutely have to play games in sequence. Keep in mind I played the game after finishing the first one which means I'm already very used to the controls and weapon types, meaning I die a lot less than most newcomers. I'd say I'm roughly 40% through the main story and sitting at 55hrs clocked on Steam. I haven't finished 2 yet but there seems to be 200% more content in it compared to the first one and the games are definitely huge investments.I'm talking hundreds of hours. Wed 20th Oct Nioh 1 and 2 are both great but getting Nioh 2 pretty much invalidates the first game.
