In hindsight I know I was too impatient with when I wanted this video to come out as I was giving myself a hard time for not uploading. I do like the end product and that what matters, but I will take what I learned from this experience and get better from this point. I hope you stick around for more. Any criticisms are welcome as my main goal is to just get better.

Yup, Nioh 2 is so incredibly satisfying to play even to this day.

After 700 hrs into NIOH and 1350 hrs into NIOH 2 i can 100 % confirm both games are fn great

Nioh 2 gotta be one of the best ARPGS of all time, I go back to it every couple of months and I always have a blast doing so. I like blasting the Devil may Cry 5 and Metal Gear Rising soundtrack when I play.

I'm just finishing my latest playthrough (of many) and still feel like I'm improving. There is so much to learn and master in this game. A true masterpiece.

wow this is great video, love the way you put up the skill pages as you performed them in the fights.

Just started Nioh 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago. I'm having a blast! Definitely one of my favorite games now!

I've been searching for a video to explain Nioh 2 basics to my friend who will start playing this year. I find your video the easiest to understand. 😁 I myself have progressed to the 21st floor of the depths of the underworld, but that's on the PS4. I'm planning to replay it on PC with that friend of mine soon.

One of my all time favourites! Nioh 1 as well. Absolutely LOVE both games! 😎😁👍

Ooh, nice detial on adding the whatever skills you used on the screen, showing how much stuff actually goes in a combo or just general combat

Started playing this last month,first time. At first, I was overwhelmed with sooo many different stances,skill choices,options,weapons,blacksmith, tea utensils,soul cores , spirit guardians,anime,amrita..u get the point...Yet as I trudged on,and with help of some summoning here n there,I came to realize I uncovered a Gem of a game!🤘

Nioh 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. I can’t wait for Rise of the Ronin

Still playing it today. I've put over a thousand hours into it and still enjoying it.

Most underrated game in decade in my opinion, the action combat system is deep like an ocean. And the character custom system itself worth 60$ already. BTW, the Yokai counter is considered as a Yokai skill, it cost 1 point purple bar(I play the Chinese verson so I don't know what's the English name) , if it's below 1, like 0.9, you can't use it. You can show all the numbers in the game in order to calculate, the selection are all in the option menu. There's a skill let you regain all the white part of your prepare-to-recover stamina and some more when changing the position, use this skill wisely, your stamina will be almost unlimited, also, your action would combo with less recover frame, very smart system design.

Nice vid dude. I just started playing this (my first play through) as I'm about half way in Rise of the Ronin. This definitely takes a lot to get use to as I'm a fromsoft & the like type player. It's a rough go but definitely worth it so far 👍🏼

I really like your video filter here, the distortion and chromatic abberation around the edges adds a lot of flair (Shogun tv series inspired by any chance? Since theyre doing something similar there)

Getting back into nioh 2 after quite a break. Still have all the dlc to do. Man so glad I came back 🤘

I love this game so much! Great video.

As a lifelong sword main, I never get tired of seeing just how differently two people can play the weapon, sword is such a malleable option. Compared to dmc5 having every weapon available, going back to keeping 2 means you really get to see the player's personality expressed through a particular weapon/combination more clearly

I'm still playing this game still to this day because of the combat alone it's just a ton of fun. Plus I really love the switchglaive.

I still need to finish this game but my muscle memory from playing other games messes me up after having not played for so long. Love this game overall though. The gameplay is really cool and as someone relatively familiar with Japanese history it’s fun. Also nice Soul Calibur music in this video. A fantastic underrated fighting game series.

Here are some tips I like to use. Sneak thief and cat walking scrolls make run backs a breeze; disassemble uncommon and common equipment, sell exotic and rare; mission level recommendations are based off gear level not character level, so if you're dying a lot upgrade your gear.

It's amazing how much way you can approach the combat in Nioh 2,from a fucking monster that can tank heavy hit, pure meta with highest DMG potential, a onmyo who shoot all kind of element, a pokemon master who use guardian spirit and yokai, hell even build that let you stay in your yokai form for most if your mission and so on

Awesome video trugrim just one question when I complete my build is it possible to reset it and do a different build that is better for me, or am I just doomed for the rest of the game

Nioh 2 its a gem! I will play it till the end

❤❤❤❤ ready for a 3rd Wo long was such a disappointment and SOP was alright just lacked content

I made the same video a week ago 😂😂. I'd like to see more of your gameplay.

Been playing it since the ps4 release. It’s my go to game when Im trying to relax, casually clearing depths 😂

I tried Nioh 2 years ago, i decided to try today the game again and hope i can learn it this time and get around to have it in my fv games.

Nothing like the combat this game has its just so amazing

I platinum'd the game almost a year or two ago, and every now and then I feel the urge to hop back in to help people in Torii Gates...

It's a great game and the skill cealing for the combat is so high. I only see very few creators actually get close to it.

I saved my builds on usb to start the game again. I got 6 good ones.

I just got into this game not too long ago. This has elements i wish DS had. One of the best games I've played in a long time.

I’ve spent 900 + hours already and I can’t move on to play another game, I’m so hooked with it

Just got it with the hunbld bundle

I honestly say coming from ninja gaiden on xbox that nioh 2 is the best game made for ps4. I like the magic, universal weapon build. I would put 200 into magic the 150 into at least 3 or 4 other stats like heart, constitution, skill and strength for the scroll of damned bonuses. Also added lots of Sentience to my tanky magatsuhi and omoike build. Also I have other magatsuhi builds like with Susanoo. This game has more features than GTA 5 by far. Kasha, The tornados this game is wild. Only bad thing I would say is you spend a lot more than normal time forging at the blacksmith. You can beat this on the hardest pretty easy once your build is very tanky.

Having 2k hours between the two titles, I can happily say Im glad I spent my time being bad in the first Nioh, Nioh 2 wouldve killed any interest had I tried it first. Ive still barely scratched the surface of fighting styles, builds, and combos but Ive had more fun playing my style because Nioh 2 actually lets me.

One of the best game I've ever played, so underrated

Nioh 2 is one of the goat games. It's sad people drop the game at the beginning because of the bosses, but that is part of the journey, to get better and stronger.

The soul calibur 2 os for this video is just perfect🎉

The games also got a pretty good story, incredible music and the best character creator ive ever used

Yeah I bought it, awhile back, and failed bad at it, and stop playing it, & came back to it, and put more patience in it. I can't enough of it now

Both games have become 2 of my favorite souls-likes. Still like Dark Souls 1 and 3 more, but NiOh takes the cake for Souls-likes not made by FromSoft, because they keep the core, but are very much their own thing. Games like Lies of P are just trying to be Dark Souls again.

This game is a GOAT and surpassed Ninja Gaiden Black as best action game. Its also better than all From Software games.

What's the song from the Kasha fight? I forgot where it's from

I really really really really hope they do nioh 3

Im doing ng+ and its frustrating but i never give up! Sometimes it forces me to play online with randoms though

This game is dope!! I wish rise of the ronin had the monsters of nioh2

I downloaded Nioh 2 a couple years ago on a ps plus free monthly download. I booted it up. I picked my weapons and demon and went to first area. I got repeatedly destroyed by that Gozuki in the Village of Cursed Blossoms, and promtly deleted it. 😂 I came back to it a few weeks ago after noticing it on my download list, and have been hooked ever since. This game requires skill and patience. But is so rewarding when you finally nail an at first problematic level or boss. The weapons, move sets, and ability to ki pulse allow you alot of flexibility if you are a skilled player. I am loving every second of my first playthrough...aka the tutorial.

🔥👍

Best game ever made

i want other games with a good coop like this... but the other souls likes sucks in the coop

Never too late for Nioh 2

Probably the best game ever made imo

So, the one real bit of critique I have here: Next time you try to do an instructional video, maybe remember to turn off your reshade. The one you are using in particular has some blurring vignetting that makes the game look garbo, and the color changes it makes are a matter of taste to say the least. When you are showing off a game to potential new purchasers or new players in general, it's best to keep it looking similar to what the base game does, instead of having advanced filtering going on. Especially when that advanced filtering is doing something like cutting the contrast to such an absurd degree or adding in sepia tones. If that's not a reshade and is actually something you purposefully did during editing, then, well, that's even worse.

after platinum wo long fantastic game I went bk to nioh 2 and realize how much more brilliant and harder it is

oi you forgot something. use the fire bombs! remember throwing bombs is a ninjutsu! and its works as its intended!

So, to preface this, i just started playing Nioh 2, coming from Elden Ring, and the only thing i would disagree with here is the game does NOT ease new players in. There is so much thrown at you, both information and mechanics, i have spent three hours beating the first level. And i haven't or hadnt yet unlocked half of the things spoken about in this video. And it is so much god damn fun! The ki system is beautiful, the stance system already seems massive and then you realize the game wants you to swap stances in combos as an intermediate level, and the levels are twisty and dense while still being grindable. And full co-op is a thing in this game. Want to play every mission with a friend? Go ahead, you can, from the very first time you play the very first level.

Best game EVER!!!

just got it again on pc..after completing ng+ in ps4..120 fps ftw

Personally, the first playthrough and the end game content Underworld final NG+ (Way of the Nioh I think) are the hardest. The higher the floors are, the harder it becomes. The Underworld floors 1-30 makes Elden Ring easy peasy.

In 4 years I've done around 800 hrs. I'm coming to this game atleast twice a year.

The skill ceiling is insane. It's hard to get the ball rolling, but once you start gittin' gud the game just keeps on getting better and better. Then you get to Dream of Nioh and the game will really start testing your skill and knowledge.

I can't play any from software games , only can play both nioh games ❤

WoLong is just a huge step back from Nioh 2. Pls Ninja Theory. We need Nioh 3.

I prefer the more simple combat of demon/dark souls. Pressing r1 during combat to switch stances/continue combos never felt good to me. (Its cool as hell though)

Best action game ever

Yh i started the game but in my opinion the game has a huge gameplay issue. For most people playing it solo is just redicously difficult, if you don't minmax your build and put a lot time into grinding. So an average player would require to always grind so much, to stay a couple of levels above the missions, just because it is so frustrating difficult for them. And then you may start playing online, which works well for the first few maps. But this will result in a piece of cake gameplay where overpowerd players destroy everthing. I wondered why so many high level players play in low level maps. But then i realized why. When i progressed a bit, I wanted to play a little bit more on my own. My lvl is about 60 now, i am in idk the fourth map or so, the average level of the missions is 75. I wasn't even able to play the map before to the full extend, because it was too difficult, even with guides and builds I copied from youtubers. For whatever reason I also didn't get any online help anymore. If I start a multiplayer lobby, nobody joins. If I search for comrades from inside a mission, it takes 10 to 30 minutes until someone joins. At the weekend in the prime time... You will barely matched together with people on the same level. Playing coop this way really sucks. I could imagine, playing coop with a friend without someone beeing OP would be perfect. Lets say play casualy with 1 or 2 friends on the same level or maybe a little bit higher level than your own could make really fun. But the difference in coop and solo playing is way to insane. I think this game is neither made well for solo nor for coop with random internet people. That's super annoying. I think a game like elden ring is much better. Because in Elden Ring it comes to skill and maybe level. But it is more forgiving in regards of builds and equipment. Of course leveling up your gear helps alot, but it is more made on a casual level. Like you can really increase your skill to a working level, without the feeling, that some missions are impossible to do on your own. This really sucks in Nioh2. There are a couple of missions, where it is completely impossible to beat certain bosses on my level alone. Even with good builds I used from the web. Maybe they are too old, maybe they got nerfed. But i think the problem is deeper. But everything else is great in this game. They just screwed the whole difficulty design , but the game is good. What I also highly dislike, what i see from higher level guide videos, it really all depends on gear and build. So if you will get a gear with idk, high life leech or so, or generating unlimited anima ressource or having unlitimed whatever, the core game mechanics change so much, that everything you learned so far will become irrelevant. So even if you are the hardcore type of player, really increasing your skill and become a real fighting master (which is possible I think), you can just throw all your skill away, once you get to a point where your gear and skills take over the job. Yeah and I really don't like this. I think it would be better, if the game will be a little bit more forgiving on the one hand, but still allow you to increase your skill and become really good, like in a fighting game like mortal kombat. IT is a joy to get used to your weapon style and create really nice combos. Also the ki impulse idea is great in general. Once you get used to it, it makes fun. I think this game would be much better, without the OP gear and with a lesser difficulty.

For some reason I like the first one better than the second one was ok but I was nor into the all yoka transformación thing

0:19-0:22 , same but with nioh 1

to me this the best action game ever made also u can get it for 12$ on humble choice

Im playing the first nioh to get a good taste of the 2

The only problem I have with nioh 2 is that burning out is very easy with the idiotic drop system and numerous difficulties + forever mode. Otherwise, amazing game.

Tekken 4 music!!!!!!!!

It should've at least had a nomination for GOTY but it didn't and that's honesty just disrespectful to Team Ninja.

ermmmmmm medium stance is not alwayy good at horizontal sweeps. only spear and kurasaragama are good with that ://

Well maybe if it wasn't 60 for the past 4+ years I wouldn't have had to wait so long to play it First sale I've ever seen this game have, got it half price I'm smart and don't pay full price of get games at launch

You looks like 2000hours to me, in a good way.

Also can’t forget about the cheaters who use the strength pill I know it’s just a game but playing this game for so long and having to work towards every build you built by yourself it hurts my pride seeing cheaters come in and 1 tap every enemy and make them drop like flys. I met one dude in the abyss who hit 999k🤣

My tip for playing nioh is DO NOT PLAY IT LIKE DARK SOULS PLAY IT LIKE DEVIL MAY CRY

awesome.

Nioh is borderline perfect. After it's combat, nothing else is good enough. Especially souls games. They have spectacle, but crappy gameplay. However, I am actually quite concerned with Rise of Ronin. It looks like a blend of too many things in the wrong direction. The styles seem to be more of the ghost of tsushima variety which is bad. It forces you to be more passive than active. Styles around what enemy you're fighting rather than what you need/want.

4:25 what is this goofy ass music you used 😂

As someone who has played and platinum all the soulslike games Nioh 2 is by far the greatest of them all and mortal shell is the most garbage of them all.

Too much loot

people just don't know, the souls games are a joke compared.
