Nioh 2 Video Review

Nioh 2 is not to be trifled with. Building on the original's tough-as-nails reputation, Team Ninja's second samurai action-RPG brings back the original's penchant for punishing and highly nuanced combat. The sequel hones the original's distinctive take on the Souls-like without completely reinventing itself. The result is a long, tough slog that will push even the most challenge-hungry players to their breaking points as they fight for every inch of ground and become master samurai.Despite the title, Nioh 2 is a prequel, revealing the secret history of a decades-long period

TouchArcade Rating:Everyone knows about Rocket League, and it is certainly the game that made “cars playing soccer (or football, depending on where you’re from)" a mainstream thing. But did you know that a few years before Rocket League hit, developer Iceflame Games was already onto the whole car soccer thing with their 2012 mobile game Soccer Rally?
