Nioh 2! The third is coming out in just a few weeks, and I'm replaying the second in preparation. Having already beaten the game 1.5 times or so, playing "I constantly swap between the 10 different kinds of weapons based on what recently dropped well" is a ton of fun. So many of the move-sets and combos are basically muscle memory for me, especially the katana, since it barely changed since the first game. Sekiro is an honorary contender, but I really do think Nioh is the best 'combat focused' game I've ever played. At least for melee combat, the ranged is rather bolted on in comparison. But the stances, ki management, the way it encourages aggression without becoming a rhythm game like Sekiro, it's just all so peak. I really hope the third one lives up to the legacy. As much as I love onmyo being its own playstyle, I think doubling down on their melee focus was probably the right call.
Based. I have 700 hours in Nioh 1 and still haven't even started Nioh 2.
