I'm no expert, but in Nioh 2, not all yokai are evil. In Japanese folklore, yokai are essentially monsters, spirits, or demons. Instead of Guardian Weapons from the first Nioh, wherein you imbued your weapon with the power of your Guardian Spirit, you can turn into a Yokai yourself. New to Nioh 2 is the Yokai Shift, an integral part to the story. It's like the crows from Dark Souls, but you can drop whatever you want and usually get something nice in return. Drop an item for them and they'll usually give you something in return. They can't be guided back to the shrine, but they can be traded with. Unfortunately, moving to a new area for the next chapter of the story means you're back to the default 3 Elixirs.īesides the Kodama, Nioh 2 adds Sudama, which are also adorable spirits, but they've been corrupted by the dark Yokai Realm. The more you locate, the more healing Elixirs you'll start off with in each zone. Throughout each level, you can find lost Kodama and lead them back to the shrine - really, you just hold O once you locate them and they find their own way.

These shrines server as checkpoints, where you refresh your healing items, level up, buy goods, and manage your Guardian Spirits and Jitsus.

Returning from the first game are the Kodama, adorable green spirits who hang out at the shrines. There's more than just the combat that makes Nioh 2 great. You know that the next mission could be a couple of hours worth of playtime before diving in, instead of exploring the world just a bit more. So while I prefer an inter-connected world like Lordran, Nioh 2's mission system does make it easier to play the game in digestible chunks. Completing each mission left me with a huge sense of relief, often leading to a good break for something to drink or visiting my character's hut to check out what I'd earned. The latter alone can be multiple hours depending on if you get stuck or not.

Each of the main missions can take upwards of an hour to complete, plus the boss. Nioh 2 is divided into missions and sub-missions, unlike the connected world of say Dark Souls or The Surge 2.

#NIOH 2 ALPHA CODE ANDROID#
Source: Android Central (Image credit: Source: Android Central) All that being said, in my opinion, Nioh 2 is one of the best bangs for your buck right now. There are exceptions, like Jedi Fallen Order, but $60 is a lot of money to a lot of people, myself included, so the game better be worth it. Mostly, however, I find that many "AAA" games these days don't offer a significant value to justify that asking price.
#NIOH 2 ALPHA CODE FULL#
Paying the full $60 for a game never sits right with me, but I'm a somewhat of a miser. So if you're like me and still holding on to the OG PS4, you're not missing out on a great experience. Sure, I was locked at 30fps versus the 60 I'm used to with Nioh on my PC, but Nioh 2 still felt fluid. But for my regular console, I was happy with how it worked.
#NIOH 2 ALPHA CODE PRO#
Unfortunately, I don't have a PS4 Pro so I can't speak to how well it runs on that hardware. However, Nioh 2 checks every box I can think of - it's got the looks, the gameplay, the story, and the mechanics of a truly great game. Some, like the original Witcher, can get by with their story and characters, even if they're ugly, poorly-designed games. I've long been of the opinion that a game can look pretty all day long, but if the gameplay is lackluster (or just plain bad or broken), the game itself will suffer. Nioh 2 checks every box I can think of - it's got the looks, the gameplay, the story, and the mechanics of a truly great game. If you love the thrill and euphoria of Soulsborne combat, I think you'll find Nioh 2 quite to your liking. It's an addicting loop, making the combat the defining piece of Nioh 2. Roll and/or sprint away to create a new gap and repeat. Close the gap with a sprint followed by a quick attack that leads you into a combo. Some enemies and bosses move at blistering speed, but so can you.
