Though Nioh games share similarities with From Software’s Souls series, Team Ninja made some striking design choices that players need to be aware of before diving in. Going back to the Nioh games after reviewing both of them separately on launch is an interesting task. The fast load times facilitated by the PS5’s SSD are another extreme benefit given how many times you’ll be loading back from death. Running at 60 FPS is important for games in the action/RPG genre, as you want to be able to effectively assess the situation before swinging, dodging, blocking, or ki-pulsing your way to victory, and you’ll have that regardless of how awesome your setup is. Both games run incredibly well and look fantastic regardless of your setup. If your television or monitor doesn’t support those amenities, no problem. The remastered titles included in the Nioh collection feature 4K graphics and up to 120 frames per second. Chances are, you won’t be, because you can easily spend a hundred or so hours on the Nioh 2 content alone if you’re shooting for deep endgame, DLC, and more. While I’d be hard pressed to recommend going back to the original Nioh when Nioh 2 is essentially a much more refined take on that experience, it’s a bonus history lesson if you’re hungry for more (though you can also purchase these remasters individually). This is a great time to dive into the franchise if you’ve been putting it off for any reason, as the package includes remastered versions of both Nioh and Nioh 2, plus their associated DLC and add-ons.
