Every Time I was defeated I felt like it was my fault. His horribly disfigured face seemingly mocking me with a stupidly impossible smile as he killed my character over and over and over, but never did it feel cheap, and this is what I believe fans of games like Dark Souls understood all these years while I didn’t. You see this was a boss who had defeated me numerous times. By the time I defeated the first real boss I was three times the level the game recommended to complete the stage, and oh did it feel good to smack him into submission. So pretty much a JRPG right? Well, doesn’t really matter, it allows me to grind in an enjoyable way, and I’m oh so happy to oblige. It’s also got role playing tropes like leveling up, and issuing stat points, along with a setting in ancient Japan. It’s made by the Japanese developer Team Ninja, and published by Koei Tecmo, and they’re as Japanese as they come. This is because I found Nioh to be quite manageable, and pretty early too.īy the time felt like I had the basics of the battle system down, I proceeded to farm it as much as I would in a standard JRPG, and in a way I guess you can call it that, a JRPG. I didn’t experience the same level of difficulty spike that that is did in the original Dark Souls game, and who knows it may just be as difficult and I’ve just become a better gamer, but for some reason I doubt that. Yes it’s got some of that Souls difficulty that I didn’t fancy, but in a way I feel it’s a bit diluted. A game that embodied the essence of the samurai and Japanese mystical culture is what I thought, and after playing it I can confidently say that it is pretty much that. When I initially saw this title I thought it was just a random samurai themed action game similar to the once famous, but not forgotten, Onimusha series. Due to that experience I avoided every following Dark Souls entry as well as Bloodborne. The last game of this nature I played was the first Dark Souls games, and after dying due to a one hit kill from a giant monster in the first big room, I was like “nope, Q don’t need this level I frustration in his life”. I don’t consider myself enough of a masochist to invest much if any time in them, so this is what I would call an uncommon occurrence. Games that are difficult just to be difficult are not my forté.
