The player controls William Adams: in reality, one of the first westerners to be officially deemed a samurai in the game, a discount Geralt of Rivia who slays Japanese demons (“yokai”) instead of cockatrices and basilisks. The game is inspired by real life historical figures and takes place in the Sengoku (or “warring states”) period of Japan, late 1500’s/early 1600’s. No, Nioh deserves to be remembered purely for what it is: an excellent action-RPG with challenging gameplay that both demands and encourages players to constantly improve. That’s because this game does not deserve to simply live in the shadow of From Software’s achievements. Although I will inevitably point out some of the various similarities and differences between the two, this review is not going to be a giant comparison between Soulsborne and Nioh by developer Team Ninja. The Dark Souls series includes some of my favorite games of all time, along with Bloodborne, so when a new “Souls-like” game receives heaps of praise and attention, it’s merely a matter of time until I play it.
