Sure, they added two new weapons in the Hatchets and Switchglaive alongside an entire new subsystem with the Yokai Shift stuff (an entire new button to hold while you press other buttons!) but it’s mostly quality of life and lateral improvements across the board. I played Nioh for its strong melding of character action game combat with a Soulsian template and also loot, for some reason, and in that sense Nioh 2 is entirely successful because it doesn’t mess anything up.

I didn’t give Nioh my GOTY (during a very competitive year) for its incoherent nonsense story of “English Samurai dude very loosely based on an actual historical person” fighting his way through Spooky Sengoku Japan and murdering various demons and historical figures along the way. On one hard end of the sequel spectrum, Nioh 2 is entirely confident in doing the same thing again, but more.

Nioh 2 Nioh 2 allows me to fulfill the fantasy of going to Japan like I was originally going to this month, just with more demon samurai and less CC Lemon While I’m stuck at home desperately looking for distractions to maintain my sanity. Nioh 2 (sequel to 2017’s GOTY), Doom Eternal (sequel to 2016’s GOTY) and Resident Evil 3 (sequel to 2019’s GOTY) all together in short sequence. Other than the sudden overabundance of time to play them these last few weeks have seen the release of no less than three sequels to previous “ArbitraryWater Official High-Quality Game of the Year” winners. Even if I wasn’t currently living through a profoundly strange time for myself and basically everyone in the world, I think this would be a weird time for me and video games.
