“While I ultimately recommend this, there's a number of questionable decisions that went into the design of Nioh 3 that makes it simultaneously a step forward and a step back for the series.

“It's like Nioh 2 but the open "field" was designed by Ubisoft and you have a Ninja Gaiden mode if you don't want to play Nioh. It is also runs like ♥♥♥♥ for how ugly the game looks most of the time.

“Whatever the issues with optimization are that people are commenting on, I did not really see any issues so far while playing that caused any disruption. Nioh 3 is a good time.
