Nioh 3 - Before You Buy

Why It Matters

Nioh 3’s improvements signal Team Ninja evolving the Neo subgenre and could set a new benchmark for Soulslike action-RPGs, reassuring buyers—especially on PC—that the studio delivered a polished, compelling experience. This matters for fans deciding whether to invest in a series entry that balances familiar depth with meaningful gameplay upgrades.

Summary

Nioh 3 refines Team Ninja’s long-running Neo formula into what the presenter calls possibly the best entry yet: snappy, responsive combat, stronger bosses, a semi-open world, and a new ninja stance that adds a distinct alternate playstyle. The game trims some weapon-skill complexity but keeps the series’ dense menu and build systems intact, meaning significant menu busywork remains. Influences from Elden Ring (and a recent Souls release) pushed the studio to innovate, especially with more vertical level design and freer exploration. The PC build is surprisingly well optimized, and the presenter’s first impressions are strongly positive though not a final review.
