Pros

• +Amazing combat system with a variety of weapons to use and three stances to change between
  
• +Plenty of loot that lets you further customize your character
  
• +Each weapon has a skill tree on top of two other skill trees for tools/spells
  
• +You’re able to co-op with other players and play through the missions together
  
• +The three major DLCs are included

Cons

• -Managing your loot can be a bit cumbersome since you’ll probably have a lot of it
  
• -The game can feel unfair at times. For example, there are some enemies/bosses with very fast attacks that do a lot of damage.
  
• -It can be easy to get lost in some levels since there’s no map
  
• -Inputs don’t register at times. This was noticeable sometimes when I tried to heal, but had to press the button multiple times for my character to actually use an elixir.
  
• -Poor enemy variety
  
• -Some levels have too many ambushes, making it tedious to have to check every corner. However, the enemy sense ability greatly helps with this.

Nioh: Complete Edition is a good game that takes inspiration from Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden, and Diablo’s loot system. The combat feels great with three different stances to switch between when using any of the seven weapons. This gives you a lot of combos to choose from depending on the enemy you’re fighting against. The loot system allows you to create a build, such as focusing on fire damage or electricity damage.

While I really enjoyed the combat, the biggest thing that holds me back from giving this game a full recommendation is how it can feel unfair at times. A few of the regular enemies have fast attacks that can take out a significant portion of your health if you get hit. However, some of the bosses also have this issue. There were several bosses that had at least one very fast attack or combo that took out 50 to 75 percent of my health if it hit. This created frustrating moments where I either had to play super cautiously or use items/abilities that slowed the enemy down.

Overall, I give this game a cautious recommendation. The combat was a lot of fun, but the unfair moments tested my patience at times. I have read that Nioh 2 is more fair compared to this game and improves upon this game in general. However, if you are looking to spend maybe around $10 to $15, it may be worth taking a look at this game when it's on sale. Just be aware that the game can feel frustrating at times. I may update this review once I play through Nioh 2.
