Happy with product. Everything was brand new. Thank you!

Perfect. Does what it says on the box.
Remaster of Nioh 1 & 2 running at native 4k at 60fps on PS5.
Load times are 1-2 seconds, game looks stunning.
You’re looking at 100+ hours of gameplay with both games.
This will scratch that ‘Souls Like’ itch.

Before you buy this game understand what your investing your money in. Is this game similiar to the souls series? Yes. Does it play exactly like a Souls game? No.. Is Nioh 1 and 2 “hard”?.. Yes and you should be aware that there is no difficulty setting… some of the mechanics can also be a little bit complicated especially if your new to this type of game. Do the tutorials and google Nioh guides for more support. Are these games fun as hell? I can 100% certify these games are heavy heavy underrated gems and are absolutely phenomenal games that will push you hard. Especially its 3 DLC’S.

Nioh is an action-RPG that is more than simply “inspired by” by Dark Souls – it takes numerous elements from the Souls series and makes it its own.
The first thing someone new to Nioh will notice, is the fast often frantic pace of the fighting. When engaged in battles, including boss battles, you will need to do much more than simply rolling out of the way looking for an opening – although truth be told, you will do that too! You will also parry, use magic, ninjutsu, and collect an insane number of weapons, armor, and skills! The loot, is really half the fun of Nioh. You never know when you will find an exceptionally rare item, and even small powerful items can make all the difference. On a fundamental level, Nioh could be described as a combination of Bloodborne and Diablo, but once again this is not being fair to the game which is much more than the sum of its parts.
In the first Nioh, you play as William, an Englishman who has to escape from the Tower of London before making his way to Japan during the Sengoku period. One of the beautiful aspects of Nioh (both I and II) is that it is a fictional world with magic and monsters, but based on our world and features historical characters. Furthermore, the monsters you fight – Yōkai – are based upon Japanese folklore and mythology. Nioh 2 includes a database of these monsters as you fight them, and it is beautiful.
The music, voice acting (English and Japanese), cinematics, and overall aesthetics are simply phenomenal. Although a game does NOT need to be a so-called AAA game to be beautiful and wonderful, Nioh clearly shows what amazing magic can be accomplished when talented people are given the necessary support from a major publisher.
Both Nioh games were originally released on the PS4. The PS5 offers a few advantages:
+All DLC is included on disc – yes!
+Load times are incredibly fast.
+Graphics and textures are improved.
+Free PS5 upgrades to PS4 owners of Nioh 2 (but not the original Nioh)
While Nioh is a challenging game, sometimes brutal, sometimes a bit unfair, it is not overly frustrating. You can ALWAYS search for better loot, level-up, and try new ways to tackle a challenging level or boss. The worst thing I can say about the Nioh games is that they are VERY addictive – be warned!
GOOD
=====
+ALL DLC on disc
+Challenging but extremely fun gameplay
+Lovely music and visuals
+Includes historical characters and Japanese folklore
+Numerous, numerous, hours of gameplay for each game
+Some fun online features (no invasions fortunately)
+VERY addictive
BAD
===
-Basically the same game as on the PS4
-Online connection issues (might be a PS5 issue)
-VERY addictive
Bottom Lines: If this game has intrigued you at all, purchase it. Individually Nioh and Nioh 2 are phenomenal games, together in this package it is “must play” and currently my favorite PS5 game released.
Also, to answer my clickbait title: while I am hesitant to call one game or series necessarily “better” than another, I have no desire to play any of the Souls games again (I finished all three Dark Souls along with Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls for the record) – this is my second playthrough of Nioh.
Final Score: 96/100 — highest possible recommendation.

The games themselves look and play smoother than ever in this current gen version. While a full $70 price was a bit much given the originals gave free digital upgrades, getting this on sale to actually own the best version of the games was well worth it. Definitely recommended if you like to have a physical copy or if you didn’t get to experience these games last gen.

Great game and price point. Fast shipping. No complaints

Nioh is a hard game. You have to level up like crazy for the first few bosses otherwise you will die within a few minutes when facing them. If you put in the time you won’t be disappointed with what this game has to offer. I know the Nioh collection and the Halo series are totally different types of games, but still I think the Nioh collection has more to offer for action/adventure fans. They’re both pretty good, but the Nioh collection is better in my opinion.

As a great movie once said, “tough but fair.” I absolutely love this two pack of remastered games. These are “souls” like games, they are difficult and any enemy in the game can and will kill you if you are being careless. That being said the games are certainly beat-able, but only for those who enjoy a challenge, no handholding in these games.
