If I ain't never played no nioh before, is it ok to start with 2?

Yes, absolutely. Nioh 2 is one of my personal GOATs, especially if you have friends to play it with.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
My wife is a formerly huge Harry Potter fan who now feels conflicted about it due to the author's hard right descent into fascism but playing one of the old games for free might be fine with her to relive some of the memories

the story of nioh is that you kill a bunch of demons, then chill with famous historical samurai, then kill more demons, then fight some famous historical samurai, then kill more demons, repeat
the story of nioh 2 is the same but also you are the demons

yes, Nioh 2 is basically just a straight upgrade over Nioh 1 in every regard.
there are a few story references to the first game but this isn't a game you play for the story

You can play the entire game fully co-op with up to two friends (three players total), or solo the game and summon your friends to help you Dark Souls style. It rules.

Callisto Protocol combat is sick, loving the integration of ranged and melee attacks. Rewarding melee stuns with free lock-on critical gun shots is cool.

:golfclap:

Imo the recent Lego Star Wars collection and the first Lego Marvel are the twin apexes of the series. LOTR was pretty decent though. Honestly the only things I do in these games is finish the races my wife can't do. She already beat the HP collection back before the terfening and similarly now has a conflicted relationship with the books she enjoyed as a teen. I doubt she'll want to play through the collection again but I'll grab it in case.

Wtf the medium seems like it owns (I forgot it was on ps plus so I’m downloading it now), but if this skill up review is accurate then it seems like I’ll enjoy it at least, like the only reason I played scorn was because I wanted to walk around a super cool looking interactive Zdzislaw Beksinski painting and i didn’t know that’s literally what The Medium is, there’s no combat or anything. The story sounds stupid but that’s fine.

Every time someone has brought up The Medium in a “this game has the stupidest story ever” way it just makes it sound great.

It apparently has an extremely toxic and bad view on mental health. I've seen a lot of people talk about that when they mention The Medium and Bloober team in general.

His reviews tend to be nuanced enough that if you watch the review you can decide for yourself. Some games he recommends and then half the review is him talking about stuff he didn't like or bad aspect of the game.

yeah exactly, and like i said i didn't realize the medium was basically a walking simulator or that the art was that cool, and he says that much at the beginning. stories in most games are pretty dumb anyways, but i understand that the medium's is exceptional in that it's also offensive.

You should, it's basically Outer Wilds 1.5. It's technically integrated into the main game, but it's the sort of thing you'll want to focus on without diverting back to the main story.

beanpole did it basically perfectly, idk if it was intentional or not, but he didn't find the dlc area and im not sure if he even saw the hint on timber hearth before beating the game, it's very neatly implemented into the game.

Why do people keep deferring to this random Twitter user as if they are some kind of authority on good taste? Whether the game is good or not is one thing but the conclusions reached in that thread regarding Bloober's intentions are a huge stretch to say the least.

I don't doubt it sucks poo poo, but the "Bloober is a bunch of disgusting fucks and nobody should be giving them the time of day" narrative that has been ongoing and supported only by that one Twitter guy getting mad at his own interpretation is real weird.
