I just beat this game kind of (there's so, so much postgame and optional and DLC content) and it loving rules. It's similar to Bloodborne in that it's taking the core play loop of Souls and trying to action it up, but while that game boils the formula down to essential elements cutting out 100% of cruft - to the point that stuff like covenants and multiplayer may as well not exist in it - Nioh has a much more kitchen sink approach to both gameplay (that gear system lol) and writing. I think the best parts of it, playwise, are better than BB or Dark Souls 3, but the nature of the thing also calls for lower lows. If you like those games, or you have a hard on for Japanese folklore and history, you will probably like Nioh a lot, and the faster combat + totally different approach to equipment means you may like it even if you don't care about that stuff. The first third of the game, before you get your bearings and start a build rolling, can be very very difficult, and there are satisfying challenges in the back nine for people who love that stuff. 9/10 Between this, Nier: Automata, and Persona 5 a whole lot of great RPGs dropped on PS4 last year.
