I only used dual swords so I have no experience playing with other weapons but from what I have seen and heard they are all great in their own way. Personally, I am the type of person that only likes to use one weapon and I never switch for the entire game. There are also new weapons that were added with unique playstyle and their own skill trees. Attacking enemies fills that bar and once you have enough Anima you can use different Yokai Abilities (you can unlock different Yokai Abilities by killing Yokai and collecting Soul Cores) depending on which ones you have equipped. Anima is a bar that you see below your Life and Ki points. One important feature that was added is Anima. Nioh 2 builds upon the first Nioh adding new features and weapons. There are plenty of reasons to get this game besides the story.


I wouldn’t recommend this game if you want a game with a deep story that will make you care about the characters.

I prefer the story of Nioh 2 compared to the first Nioh because there were moments it made me feel something.Įven though the story of Nioh 2 is somewhat better, it still is forgettable and has nothing memorable. You create the protagonist of the story and because of that the protagonist never speaks. The story of Nioh 2 is set prior to the story of the first Nioh.
