Nioh 2
A “superlative” 2020 for Team Ninja
This 2020 has served to strengthen the positive trend of the team. Nioh 2, his latest work was placed as one of the best action games of the year. In this house he obtained a rating of 9 out of 10, where we highlighted the “recreational soul” that he gave off. “Nioh 2 is not afraid to face the big names in the subgenre. Team Ninja has been able to expand its formula from a conservative perspective. The continuity of the elements that made the previous one unique serves to further a game that feels practically infinite. Barrier-free multiplayer functionalities, new combat possibilities, Yokai transformations, better level design… At all levels, it is simply better ”.
