--TURN DOWN EFFECTS QUALITY IN SETTINGS--

Runs very smooth on my RTX 2060, i7 9700k.
100fps minimum during combat. Runs great.

Aside from performance, its an excellent second helping of Nioh. If you enjoyed the first game do yourself a favour and grab this one too.

Graphical fidelity is identical to the first game, so maintain low expectations on that front. Their environments are much better designed this time around, though.

Good lord the review section here is a mess. If you have the game and it runs well for you consider yourself one of the lucky ones, buying is currently risky. Make sure you SURPASS the recommended spec.

solid framerate for me

gtx970
i5 6600k
8gb 3000mhz

As for the game, if you're expecting dead space or Star Citizen you haven't looked into your purchase. This game fills a specific role and it does it very well. The gameplay is monotonous, but not 'grindy'. The replay value for me really is in the ship's designs being randomly generated. Chasing that perfect ship is keeping my mining lazer busy. I'm also having a ton of fun naming and uploading species in the knowledge that some day someone will perhaps stumble upon them. The exploration is top shelf. Some of the planets I have been on have been hostile, and had me crafting upgrades inside my cockpit taking shelter from toxic storms or extreme heat. Some have been inhabbited by towering, tentacled fungi, stooped in a green hue on a sickly purple sky. Think H.P Lovecraft. Some have you wandering through vast cave networks lit with bioluminescent plant life. The game is eyecandy. I can see it getting old yes, but no faster than any other respectable exploration title.

Haven't really thought much about the multiplayer comments. It doesn't feel like it would work that well after having played it. Maybe in a co-op perspective. I think Hello Games perhaps knew that people just wouldn't run into eachother without organisation. Maybe they had good intentions and had to pull the feature at the last minute for the sake of stability. It's struggling to run on 4/10 machines as it is. It wasn't handled well either way but if you can seperate the lies told by the devs from the experience, the game is worthy of a lot of it's hype. I was dubious of this title because I've followed the genre for quite a while but my concerns were kind of unfounded. What it does well, it does exceptionally so, and the things it gets wrong really are few and far between.

This one will get a lot of my time.

As you can see by my hours in game, (or seconds), I downloaded this game for 1 reason. To write a review. To save your life. I started playing this maybe a year ago on a website called Kongregate. It's on my browser, it's on my phone, and now it's in my steam library.

Think you've got it made because you have tresvigintillion bucks? I have more angel investors than that.

There isn't an end. You start to see numbers you couldn't have imagined in your wildest dreams. Numbers with so many zeros you could die of old age trying to count them all. It's absurd. Don't do it to your family, don't do it to your friends and don't do it to yourself.

Note: The soundtrack will haunt the depths of your soul, forever.
