Obviously inspired by Dark Souls, Nioh offers familiar game-play but with enough unique twists to set itself apart. I was thinking it would easily be a 5/5 game for me at the beginning, but as the game went on I realized I was fighting the same enemies over and over again regardless of the stage which honestly were all kind of similar to begin with — caves and old Japanese castles. Not to mention that nothing I was doing in game felt like it had ANYTHING to do with the story in the cutscenes.

Definitely nowhere near as meticulously designed as Dark Souls.
