It's good

Absolutely one of the biggest rage inducing games that I have loved to 100%. Got this game back at 2018 and tried to play it on keyboard+mouse no chance. Finally got a controller and after starting the game over took it to 100% in around +200 hours.

This did make me angry, rage, hate it and love it around again and again. The feeling you get when you actually succeed in a boss fight after trial and error just brings back the feeling you get when you start a game like Tarkov for example. And that's the biggest reason why I absolutely enjoyed the game in the end.
I do love the story, I've been sucker for Japanese stories and history ever since I've been little and this game also scratches that itch with its characters and story.

There is one map in particular I hate and It's like every stage in every game and it's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ water level. Too many miss steps has cost me the progress of the level. But hey skill issue :D. I made couple of friends from the small online community that the game still has and one of them told me that the actual story of Nioh starts at Abyss level 40. So I feel that I can't let the game be just yet.

I've played little bit of Dark Souls One and I've been looking towards Elden Ring but before those I've gotta get Nioh 2 and see what it has to offer. So I don't have much to compare Nioh to yet.

Can recommend to people who love challenge and games that don't hold your hand all the way trough.
