Nioh 2 is an ARPG set in Japan during the Sengoku Period, where players fight off against relentless hosts of yokai and humans. If you’re reading this and you’re on the same boat, then I honestly think you have nothing to worry about. I’m glad I did the research beforehand and went into this sequel blind. Nevertheless, I didn’t feel lost or anything like that when I got to that point. From what I can tell, only the very last couple of missions from Nioh 2 actually take place after the first game, and they might potentially spoil one thing or another.

With that being said, I honestly couldn’t have been more thrilled as I played through Nioh 2 and experienced the brilliance of such a hardcore genre for the first time.ĭespite being a sequel, Nioh 2 is actually a prequel to the first game, at least for the most part. Furthermore, at most, I have played the first Dark Souls game for about 20 hours, so I’m far from being an expert in this type of game. First of all, I have to admit that this is my first experience with the Nioh franchise.
