About first nioh
I have no idea why people praise this game so much.I just finished it 5 mins ago and all i have to say about this game is that it is disappointing.First of all , it is so goddamn easy.Like i only had trouble with the umbrella lady and the guy with spear who goes into a lightning phase.Only 2 bosses i got to enjoy were these , others i breezed through.My another complaint about this game is the enemy variety.OMG i never played a game with less enemy variety ever.And this includes main missions.Even when you get a new type of yokai enemy its usually like 1 added extra move which is so easy to just evade (element throwing).Even when you get to the mission where its like you fight the big bad (kelley) i was expecting a big buildup different from other levels but no.I got the exact same enemies just more because i had 2 companions by my side.And even in the last mission we have to kill 4 bosses we already kill (nue 3 times and the guy who throws chained balls at you which i can't even count how many times i killed him , the umbrella lady i mentioned that was tough and spider lady which is like nothing burger).Level design was not bad i think , i don't think it was on par with like dark souls games but i do think its not bad.Especially guiding kodamas i really liked.I hate the fact that we play in same maps over and over again when doing side missions.And i've seen people say that you don't have to do them but you kinda do because when you don't complete those missions , you end up underleveled.I completed every single side mission in this game and i was like 108 level i think which is not even the adviced level for the last map.I think kelley and the last yokai boss fight was a disappointment.I literally killed kelley in one try and the yokai in like 3 times.Game does look bad both art style and straight up visual quality (textures shadows and all that)but i don't mind playing games that look bad.I think if this game wasn't 40 hours i would've liked it way more.Even the enemy replacement in this game is repetitive.Put a ranged enemy and put an ambusher which you can't see or put an item and put an ambusher.I saw every single ambush coming.I think looting is basically not worth it.You can just go to a twilight mission and kill a revenant and you'll have insane items.Usable items in this game felt useless too.I tried to utilize them but maybe its me.I am seeing all these people praising this game but honestly i don't think i see what people see.I'd love to hear your thoughts about why this game is so great for yall.
