Nioh [Playstation Hits]

Nioh is a punishingly difficult action-RPG set in a dark fantasy version of 16th-century Japan, where you take on the role of William Adams, a Western samurai fighting both human warlords and grotesque supernatural monsters known as Yokai. Combining the high difficulty and progression mechanics of the Souls series with the fast-paced, deep combo systems of Ninja Gaiden, the game demands absolute mastery of its complex combat, which features three unique stances for every weapon and a Ki Pulse system that rewards aggressive precision. It’s an intensely satisfying experience built on a cycle of dying, learning, and finally conquering impossibly brutal enemies and spectacular bosses, all wrapped up in a story that weaves real history with Japanese folklore.
