Actually, the game world would look great if it wasn't so gloomy. It doesn't help that on the PS4 Pro you can switch between higher resolution (up to 4K) and slow frame rate or low details with high frame rate. The soundtrack sounds menacing, but not as atmospheric as in the Dark Souls model...

Product details
In Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde swordsman whose background as a wild warrior and extensive knowledge of the blade enable him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Known as Yokai, these demons inhabit a variety of dangerous locations and lurk in the shadows to ambush unsuspecting victims. Players will also engage in supernatural sword fights and intense multi-target battles against other samurai, offering a level of difficulty that tests the skills, patience, and strategy of even the most seasoned samurai. Nioh features a deep and original storyline set during the Warring States period of Japanese history, as well as strategic sword-fighting action that challenges players in a way that makes every mission and achievement feel earned and rewarding. Master every fighting style—learn the flow of combat and move with precision. Unleash combinations of attacks and evasive maneuvers specific to a range of authentic samurai weapons, including polearms, katanas, and axes. Discover a fantastic and dark vision of 16th-century Japan—fight alongside and against legendary heroes and villains of the Sengoku era. Face brutal and grotesque enemies—alone against seasoned samurai, abhorrent beasts, and demons known as Yokai.

In summary, it can be said that Nioh makes a very good impression in terms of visuals and sound at first glance. Although a closer look reveals minor flaws, these only marginally tarnish the overall impression. The combat system allows the player to very much focus on his or her own abilities and to go into the fights according to personal preferences...

Hopefully, the same can be said about Nioh in a few years. With an eye for Japanese mythology and the joys of colourful loot, the result is a game of almost touching affinity to its archetype. More open-hearted in explaining its features, structurally less convoluted, portioned into smaller, separate sections, still a little ugly-duckling-like after all these years of development...
