I've always been a huge FromSoftware fan and have played through almost every game in the Soulsborne series. I wanted something similar so I decided to give Nioh 2 a try. #nioh2 #soulslike

Stepping into Nioh 2 after completing all of Nioh 1 (DLC included) made my life SO MUCH easier. Souls games gives you a feel for it, but the Nioh games are very much their own thing. Don’t think being good at the Souls games will amount to much, the Nioh games are their own unique experiences.

However being good at endgame Nioh content borderline trivializes Souls games as someone who came from the Nioh franchise and then played the fromsoft titles.

I ran past Gozu after 1 death because he was a ln huge increase in power compared to the first enemy, skipping that popup. That led me to the tragic fate of spending 5 hours trying to kill every enemy past that point to beat the mission. I never played a soul or nioh in my life, so that experience will never be forgotten.

Ki-pulse is life. High-stance, with combo transitions to mid-stance, ending the combo sequence back in high stance FOR THE WIN. It takes a while to learn, but using stance transitions and finding ways to mostly attack high (which is also the best stance to shatter horns/glowing spots) is worth it, because you really start doing ki and stagger damage. Edit: Also, don't forget to utilize some Omnyo Magic and Ninjutsu tools. Some of them are game changers... And some are completely OP and broken (like Sloth), but can serve in a pinch.

I'm actually finding it hard to go back to the souls games after this. Yeah, the combat system is on a whole different level, and it works for me. The fast pace (once I got used to it), the stances, the magic, ninjustu, yokai shift, guardian spirits and soul cores. Did I leave anything out, haha?
@klefthoofrobert787 Жыл бұрын
It is in many aspects a soulslike, but combat is not really one of them. 1. Hard hitting enemies and bosses, check. 2. Moving slow while using healing item and healing takes 1 sec before activating, check. (so that healing should be planned of and not just popped) 3. Character speed and dodge speed affected by weight, check. 4. Heavy reliance on Ki (stamina) management to do good in the game, double check. 5. No map, not that it's really needed considering it's mission based, minimap circle exists only if you have sensors otherwise you can pretty much ignore it :P Those are just a few things that come to mind, i'm sure there are others, however i do agree that they have more things that differentiate them than similarities.

A few months late but a big problem this game has is that most people approach it like a souls-game when it comes to combat. But the systems are much more like an arcade action game the better you get. You can string combos forever. Apart from a few youtubers that really dove into it, i have rarely seen anyone take the time to learn the combat. They usually hit / hit, back out, wait for opening, attack again. EDIT: High stance would have been great for the monkey to destroy his horn. It is best to not lock on for that, as it will sometimes cause the hit to go slightly off side.

I mean, for the first playthrough you can easily do it with high stance, it becomes rough on other playthroughs if you don't learn how to switch and mix up your yokai abilities in between combos. High stance is really good cause most have horns that get cut off and usually high stance gets the job done + it takes a lot of KI away from enemies, compare it to low stance, it's just not worth it, low gives you better dodge but both ki dmg and normal DMG are sheit beyond belief, even if you attack quicker it doesn't do much tbh :P However switchglaive is different from other weapons, in that you HAVE to switch between stances to make it work.
