Nioh 2 llega a PS4 y el Team Ninja vuelve a ofrecernos una aventura muy desafiante que, si bien peca de ser muy continuista, llegando incluso a reciclar objetos, enemigos y algún escenario del primero, sigue manteniendo esa enorme calidad jugable y la adereza con nuevas mecánicas en un juego que es incluso más largo que el primero. Si os gustó Nioh, esta secuela debería ser de obligada compra para vosotros, mientras que para el resto, encontraréis aquí un más que digno heredero de los Soulslikes.

Team Ninja returns with the sequel to Nioh, a title loaded with spectacular and novelties that extend the possibility of playing through our own style.
CGMagazine - Brendan Quinn - 8 / 10
Nioh 2 takes a solid foundation and improves upon it in nearly every way with more weapons, more skills, and a whole new approach to Guardian Spirits.
Critical Hit - Umar Bastra - 8 / 10
For better and worse, Nioh 2 feels like more of the same. Tired environmental design and rehashed gameplay elements sully what is otherwise an addictive and exhilarating loot-based hack and slash samurai adventure.
Daily Star - Dom Peppiatt - 4 / 5 stars
Nioh 2 builds in a meaningful way on everything that Team Ninja established in the first game.
Destructoid - Jordan Devore - 9 / 10
If there's one point I want to get across above all others, it's this: Nioh 2 isn't as revelatory as the first game, but that shouldn't be held as a mark against it – at least not this time. Team Ninja was right to iterate and expand carefully. Nioh got so much right on the first go. While the new prequel storyline suffers from a slow and disconnected start, just about every other aspect of Nioh 2 feels upgraded.
Digital Chumps - Nathaniel Stevens - 9 / 10
Nioh 2 is a balanced and beautiful game. It will certainly frustrate you to the point where you will want to walk away, but that first victory over a big bad demon will ignite a thirst in you to continue your difficult journey through ancient Japan. This game is not for the weak of heart, but most know that going into it.
Digitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury - 4.5 / 5 stars
Just as I have a special reverence for Demon's Souls, even as I recognise Dark Souls was able to refine and improve on "the formula", I recognise that Nioh 2 is the better game, while also missing spirit and originality, which has gone by the wayside.
EGM - Mollie L Patterson - 8 / 10
Nioh 2 takes the ideas of its predecessor and greatly expands on them, bringing a greater sense of depth to everything from gameplay, to stage design, to your ability to have a main character customized to your particular play style (and visual preferences). Admittedly, some of the simpler elegance of the original Nioh has been lost in the progress, but the result is still a game that'll terrorize and thrill those looking for a real challenge.
Echo Boomer - David Fialho - Portuguese - Liked
Nioh 2 is just brutal and relentless, a delight to those who seek a great challenge.
Eurogamer - Edwin Evans-Thirlwell - Recommended
An absorbing, tense and well-wrought samurai adventure let down by a little too much recycling and some muddled new systems.
Everyeye.it - Alessandro Bruni - Italian - 8.2 / 10
Nioh 2 is still an obligatory purchase for fans of the most hardcore recreational experiences, although we cannot help but hope that a possible sequel will bring into play far more ambitious ideas.
Fextralife - Fexelea - 9.7 / 10
Nioh 2 is a beautiful, polished and addicting ARPG seamlessly melding character optimization with action-packed moments, and elevating them with excellent level and enemy designs. Nioh 2 will challenge you to be better and keep you coming back for more, while allowing you to co-op your way through the hardest portions of the game. ARPG fans will want to buy this day one and enjoy the multiplayer wave at its finest.
GRYOnline.pl - Szymon Liebert - Polish - 8.5 / 10
Nioh 2, despite being quite derivative, full of repetitive missions, and lacking true challenges later in the game, remains a riveting experience. This prequel looks like a mirrored image of the first game, but with some pretty ingenious level design, exciting enemies, and hugely satisfying combat and character creation systems, this game really hits home.
Game Informer - Daniel Tack - 8.5 / 10
Offering a host of bosses to battle, challenges to overcome, and massive customization opportunities, Nioh 2 is a tantalizing treat for those with a thirst for serious and sometimes frustrating adversity
Game Revolution - Michael Leri - 4.5 / 5 stars
An overwhelming amount of RPG systems, sublime controls, and fast-paced, skill-based combat mixes in with Team Ninja’s own stylistic flair and puts Nioh 2 more than a few cuts above other games that shamelessly ape From’s precious formula.
Nioh 2 is still a great game for fans of Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls, which suffers from a weak story, pixelated graphics and outdated solutions, but pleases with addictive mechanics, atmospheric exploration and deep character customization. This is a typical Koei-Tecmo-style sequel, where the developers decided to make careful implementation of small changes, and many things that required a major upgrade were left untouched. Taking into account the lack of a cooperative and a deep RPG components in Sekiro, as well as no news on Elden Ring, Nioh 2 becomes the project that closes an empty niche. This game can be safely recommended to both fans of the first game, and all fans of such Action-RPG genre.
GamePro - Dennis Michel, Hannes Rossow - German - 89 / 100
Nioh 2 is a merciless trip for hardcore gamers that surpasses its predecessor in many ways.
GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 10 / 10
This is effectively Ninja Gaiden cranked up to eleven with RPG elements and your own custom created character; one that has a demonic past that inexplicably provides them with otherworldly abilities. And if that doesn’t make you want to play Nioh 2, I don’t know what will.
Gameblog - Jonathan Bushle - French - 9 / 10
Nioh 2 is a great action RPG game, with a lot of content, a good gameplay and a nice artistic direction. The game doesn't have any major default'and is quite amazing !
Nioh 2 might play it safe in some respects, but the fluidity, depth and intensity of its combat is incredible.
GamingTrend - Austin Fern - 80 / 100
Nioh 2 does a lot right and fixes many of my issues with the first one. Much like the first one, however, it is a flawed experience. It's still incredibly enjoyable and certainly worth a playthrough, I just wish it was a little less tedious in areas.
God is a Geek - Mick Fraser - 9 / 10
For anyone craving a test of their mettle in bite-sized chunks and lacquered over with Team Ninja's trademark combat genius, Nioh 2 is utterly essential.
Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 4 / 5
Nioh 2 is a great game that's obscured beneath a mountain of frustration.
Hobby Consolas - Álvaro Alonso - Spanish - 85 / 100
The extreme difficulty and many similarities with he first game will be like a huge nurikabe for a lot of people, but if you're patient and skilled enough to learn the ways of bushido, you'll find out that Nioh 2 is a great game where the good parts shines brighter than the bad.
IGN - Mitchell Saltzman - 9 / 10
Nioh 2's many systems may be a little overwhelming, but the stellar combat and satisfying difficulty make it worth it.
In this frightening and ruthless Japan, filled with all kind of monstruosity, there's no room for mistakes. Sure, Nioh 2 is hard, but it also gives one of the deepest combat system ever seen in a souls-like, and the wildest bunch of enemies to cut down.
Nioh 2 is one of the best titles of the Souls-Like genre released to date. Its combat system introduces very interesting novelties and its narrative perfectly blends the Yokai legend with the history of Japan from the Sengoku period.
Impulsegamer - Nathan Misa - 4 / 5
An excellent action-RPG with deep combat systems, fun customisation and a striking setting. let down by a generic story.
Just Push Start - Grant E. Gaines - 4.5 / 5
The more you play Nioh 2, the more you understand its charms. Often times the problem isn't the game, as much as you're playing the wrong way. Even if I just want to chop up every enemy with my sword, there will come a point where you need to use bows, guns, items and everything else to come out alive. Sometimes it will be hard, a few stages rely heavily on specific tactics but it's fun, rewarding and fascinating if you're willing to give it a chance.
Merlin'in Kazanı - Samet Basri Taşlı - Turkish - 89 / 100
One of the best Soulslike games ever made. With its gripping story in Japan, where supernatural beings intervene, and more advanced combat mechanics, Nioh 2 has managed to become one of the best action games on Playstation 4. Prepare to fight, prepare to die and loot everything you find!
PSX Brasil - Bruno Henrique Vinhadel - Portuguese - 85 / 100
Nioh 2 brings back brutal and challenging combat along with yet another fantastic feudal Japan setting. The variety in gameplay remains one of the game's greatest assets. Fun and challenge go hand in hand here, even though the title still needs some balancing. Small defects as in the development of the story and in the boss fights are notable, but they don't affect the excellent experience that the game provides.
PlayStation Universe - Garri Bagdasarov - 9.5 / 10
Masterfully crafted and executed, Nioh 2 sets the benchmark for action/adventure games that people just have to experience. Team Ninja's latest provides one of the most in-depth combat systems and an addictive loot system that may put all but the best dungeon crawlers to shame. It's quite simple, Nioh 2 has Game of the Year written all over it.
PowerUp! - Adam Mathew - 8.5 / 10
Bottom line; this isn’t a huge reinvention, but it sure is a damn solid sequel.
Press Start - James Mitchell - 9 / 10
Nioh 2 brings together everything that was great about the original Nioh and builds upon it. The yokai form, while flashy, does little to diminish the challenge and instead adds a fun new dynamic to an already engrossing flow of combat. While it might not look as such, Nioh 2 is a fantastic sequel and one that action fans shouldn’t miss.
Push Square - Liam Croft - 8 / 10
While it may be incredibly similar to what came before it, Nioh 2 smartly adds yet more depth and mechanics to its engagements to make for one of the best combat systems around.
RPG Site - Lucas Rivarola - 9 / 10
Building upon what made the first one such a great game, Nioh 2 is an amazing sequel.
Shacknews - Sam Chandler - 8 / 10
Though it does sag with some questionable hitboxes and a glut of menus, mastering the interlacing combat systems in Nioh 2 is deeply rewarding. The developers at Team Ninja have crafted a deviously challenging experience that is bound to test even the best of players.
Spaziogames - Domenico Musicò - Italian - 8.4 / 10
Nioh 2 adds some tweaks to a great combat system, with important features that open up a lot of customizations. Nonetheless the recycle of assets shows a creative impasse and an alarming lack of fresh ideas.
Stevivor - Shane Wall - 8 / 10
There’s a lot to do and Nioh 2 flat out demands this of you. If you’re planning on chopping down some of the nastiest bosses you’re likely to come across, you’ll need to be able to invest a lot of time to do so. Nothing comes easy, there’s a lot to learn and you’ll struggle for hours on end at times — but if you’re ready for a rogue-like experience, Nioh 2 has perfected the genre.
The Games Machine - Danilo Dellafrana - Italian - 9 / 10
Nioh 2 is a "more of the same" created with the right awareness, and successfully expands the original formula through new and well thought out mechanics.
TheSixthAxis - Jason Coles - 9 / 10
Nioh 2 builds on the excellence of the original with a fistful of new twists and ideas, from new Yokai abilities to full-on co-op through the entire game. Nioh 2 might well be the best Soulslike that isn't a FromSoftware game, and it's easily one of my personal contenders for Game of the Year.
TrustedReviews - Adam Speight - 4.5 / 5 stars
From stance-switching to soul cores and the boon of unbridled demon power, there’s always an alternative ready for you to up the ante in Nioh 2, a game that I’m struggling to put down, an unexpected surprise that makes a steely case for game of the year so far.
Wccftech - Kai Powell - 9.6 / 10
Nioh 2 builds upon the successes and failures of its predecessor and offering new tools to battle with the role of a half-yokai as the player character. Some may say this iteration is even more brutal than the first!
Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 8.5 / 10
Nioh 2 is going to be compared to Sekiro, but it is its own beast. It's an excellent follow-up to the original game, and it isn't any lesser for being compared to FromSoft's attempt at the samurai Soulsborne genre. The new features help keep the smooth gameplay feeling intense and exciting, and the various tweaks do wonders for keeping the game fresh. Its biggest flaw is being "more of the same," but the original game was fun enough that a fresh new set of enemies and items is worth a lot. Just be prepared to die a lot. A whole lot. As in, "I saw multiple corpses by the first enemy of the game."
