Our analysis
A polished character-action experience built around an excellent dual-style combat system that rewards experimentation and deep customization of weapons and abilities. The combat feels fluid and satisfying with plenty of room to develop a personal playstyle. The main drawback is some repetitive level design that doesn't quite match the inventiveness of the fighting.
Our analysis
A worthy entry in a storied series and a great action RPG. Fluid combat, freely swappable samurai and ninja styles across 14 weapon types, and lots of content for the money make Nioh 3 a joy to play, though the story is forgettable and boss design is inconsistent.
Our analysis
Excellent entry with improved dual-build combat and rich loot mechanics.
Our analysis
Team Ninja firing on all cylinders with sublime dual-style combat and rewarding exploration.
Our analysis
Significant improvement with semi-open world and excellent responsive combat. Ninja style adds depth.
Our analysis
Ambitious open-world with time-travel across Japanese eras. Rough story but streamlined combat.
Our analysis
Nioh 3 combines Team Ninja's sublime combat system with new open zone maps to deliver their greatest action experience, though the side activities lack originality and the port suffers from performance issues.
Our analysis
Nioh 3 maintains the franchise's essence with excellent combat and well-designed open world content, though it suffers from excessive enemy recycling and limited graphical improvements. The dual fighting style system is innovative and the gameplay is fun and addictive.
That could all be better and the game would be better if that weren't the case. But the fun actually lies in always coming up with new mischief that you can inflict on these poor skeletons and Yo-Kai.About

Our analysis
A masterpiece action game that perfectly balances challenging death game mechanics with exhilarating combat. Despite niche appeal to hardcore action fans, the open-world exploration, diverse combat system, and abundant content make it exceptional.

Our analysis
A strong entry in the Nioh franchise with an excellent combat system featuring dual Samurai/Ninja class mechanics and well-designed open world exploration, though hindered by excessive enemy recycling and outdated graphics for a 2026 release.
- いいちごうのゲームビート😐 mixedWatch
Our analysis
Nioh 3 is a culmination of the series with excellent open-world design and dual battle styles (Samurai/Ninja) that elevate the action-RPG experience, though some momentum is lost in the later stages. Despite minor structural shortcomings, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece action-RPG worth playing now.
