Instead of inferred lore hidden throughout locations and minor dealings with NPCs, Nioh features many full-scale cut-scenes that depict the events unfolding. Nioh incorporates its story far more directly than the Souls titles. But some awesome new additions include transforming into a yokai demon, the game-changing burst counter, interchangeable yokai forms, and the ability to summon players. One of the key differences between the first and second game is that we now control a customizable yokai. The only problem with Nioh 2 is that it’s too much like 1, that’s a tremendous criticism.
