Hack and slash your demons away.
Nioh 2 PC

Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition was released today on Steam. This marks the first chance PC players have gotten to play this action-RPG. According to DSOGaming, the PC release features a few technical issues that fans might want to be made aware of.

For instance, apparently mouse movement feels "awful" and there are no icons for using a keyboard and mouse. It also doesn't offer up ray mouse input and instead tries to emulate an analog stick on a controller. DSOGaming says that this results in the mouse movement feeling "jumpy" and "almost unplayable." Team Ninja says that they will be working on addressing these issues, among others.

Additionally, PC gamers cannot select any resolution higher than their native one. (...) So, while the game supports 4K, it only does that on 4K monitors and TVs.

We also noticed numerous pop-ins, especially with shadows. Some of the game’s shadows will change right in front of you, so it can be a bit annoying.
The game is also receiving some "mixed" review scores on Steam. Most common complaints seem to be the same ones that DSOGaming pointed out. There are also numerous reports of poor performance in the form of framerate dips on even high-end hardware.


Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition brings one of the most celebrated action games of this generation to PC, offering players the best way to experience violent Sengoku-era Japan and the deadly Dark Realm. Experience the gripping narrative of the base Nioh 2 game, as well as all of the content featured in the three DLC expansions; “The Tengu’s Disciple”, “Darkness in the Capital”, and “The First Samurai”, through the eyes of a half-human, half-supernatural yokai warrior. In addition, players will have access to all of the game’s weapon types from the beginning of their journey, including those featured in the DLC – the Splitstaff and the Fists – allowing them to master their favourite weapon type and unleash their darkness against intimidating yokai adversaries.

Not only does The Complete Edition feature a wealth of content for players to dive into, it also enables them to enjoy the title with crystal clear 4K Ultra-HD support, alongside ultra wide-screen compatibility, HDR monitor support, and 144Hz monitor support complete with silky-smooth gameplay at a consistent 60/120 FPS on compatible systems*.
