The Nioh Collection - Review Thread

Game Information Game Title: The Nioh Collection Platforms: * PlayStation 5 (Feb 5, 2021) Trailer: * The Nioh Collection - Announce Trailer | PS5 Publisher: Sony Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 86 average - 86% recommended - 8 reviews Critic Reviews Everyeye.it - Alessandro Bruni - Italian - 7.5 / 10 Overall, therefore, the remasters of Nioh 1 and 2 boast a solid and satisfying performance profile, while not marking a clear step forward compared to the previous versions of the two titles, at least as regards the general performance of the graphics sector. --- Game Informer - Daniel Tack - 8.8 / 10 If you're a glutton for punishment and precision, look no further, as you battle your way through a dark, monster-laden vision of the Sengoku period. --- Game Revolution - Michael Leri - 9 / 10 The Nioh Collection confidently slashes through these minor oversights because it is still a definitive duo of difficult classics that play, look, and feel better than ever before. Even though its sequel is easily the superior, more varied title, both are still genre-defining action RPGs that provide so many engaging encounters that crush players to a pulp as a means to make them work for their euphoric victories. Few games can master this balance and maintain it after dozens or hundreds of hours and this collection has two such titles, doubling the amount of pain while also simultaneously doubling the amount of satisfaction. --- GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 10 / 10 For PS5 owners who have yet to take a chance on the Nioh series, The Nioh Collection is a must-have, providing they’re up for a challenge. Nioh Remastered – The Complete Edition and Nioh 2 Remastered – The Complete Edition, both also available separately, are expertly-crafted games that are hard to pick fault with. Across both titles there’s literally hundreds of hours of adventuring to be done, and thanks to leveraging the power of the PS5 the action has never looked or played better. It’s those with TVs capable of high frame rates that will get the most out of it though; these games really display the benefit of 120fps. --- PlayStation Universe - John-Paul Jones - 9 / 10 There's no getting around it, this is an astounding proposition. Bringing together two of the best action RPGs of the PlayStation 4 era with a range of eye-opening PlayStation 5 enhancements, Nioh Remastered: The Complete Collection is absolutely essential for anybody who has even the slightest interest in great action RPGs with hugely rewarding combat systems and hundreds of hours of challenging gameplay. --- Push Square - Christian Kobza - 7 / 10 The Nioh Collection crams two great games and six story expansions into one complete, content-stuffed package. Despite its extensiveness, the lack of exclusive content or noteworthy new features make it a hard sell in its entirety. It gives Ninja Theory a good excuse to try and grab some more attention for some legitimately great games, but calling these remasters is perhaps a bit of an embellishment. --- Spaziogames - Domenico Musicò - Italian - Unscored The Nioh Collection is therefore recommended for those who during this period are in trepidating expectation of the first weight titles coming to PlayStation 5, having at their disposal a truly noteworthy amount of content. --- The Games Machine - Gabriele Barducci - Italian - 9 / 10 On PS5, The Nioh Collection offers the refined gameplay that allowed Nioh 1 & 2 to distinguish themselves within the soulslike genre, but with the added perks of 4K resolution, 120 fps and quick loading times. The DualSense's haptic feedback also reacts to some of our inputs, but the feeling is that more could have been done. Nevertheless, the Nioh Collection is an excellent package for anyone who wants to experience Team Ninja's take on the genre. --- submitted by /u/SivarticusMax [link] [comments]
