“Basically, Nioh2 is a good game, but at the moment I just can’t recommend it,” wrote one. “I played it for a long time on PS4 and it went really well. The PC version is just cheeky. Absolutely carelessly implemented … Especially a game like Nioh shouldn’t have any FPS drops. I have an i9 9900k, a 1080ti, 16 GB Ram and the whole thing on an SSD and still I have drops @1080p.”

“The issue is that this is a ‘proper’ action game, with loads of combos, special forms, secret abilities, rhythmic button-presses, etc,” said another, stating they’re “not trying to review the game right now” but felt compelled to report the issues “because [they] want to warn anyone who’s coming into this without a controller” (thanks, PCGN).
