You might finish all of the Tengu's Disciple DLC missions in one go, but Nioh 2's newly-added Dream of the Demon mode is going to be a weeks-long time-sink for many of us. After hearing about the reward for clearing the base game on New Gam...

After spending an absurd amount of time with Nioh 2 this year in pursuit of the platinum trophy, New Game+, and incrementally better character builds, I wasn't sure if I was ready to return so soon. It's a testament to this game – and...

From one samurai game to the next. Nioh 2's first DLC, The Tengu's Disciple, is out today on PS4. If you're downloading the standalone version of The Tengu's Disciple – I wouldn't bother! – it's $9.99. If you go for the Nioh 2 S...

Ahead of Nioh 2's first DLC release, Team Ninja briefly showed off a new weapon type called the Splitstaff. It would look right at home in Ninja Gaiden, which means it's probably going to be a blast. The Tengu's Disciple, the first of thre...

Team Ninja is continuously refining Nioh 2. I'm done with the game for now – apart from the never-ending incremental loot grind and some of the ridiculous weapon-specific Title challenges, I've finished everything I set out to –...

There's something about blazing through a 1.0 edition of a game like Dark Souls or Nioh, pre-release, that's immensely satisfying. There's no meta. There's no guides to consult. And the developers made their decisions already with no l...

There's no two ways about it: the season pass for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 has pretty much bamboozled us so far. Okay, I get that the first DLC might not meet all our expectations. But the second pack similarly disappointed and compl...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is getting ready to host its third, and possibly final, season pass premium DLC on March 25: Shadow of Doom. All four members of the Fantastic Four are confirmed as player characters, with Doctor Doom serving as t...

I've been patiently waiting for the Nioh 2 community to rally around a go-to farming strategy, and while there isn't a consensus yet – and there are multiple long-term goals to grind out, including your XP, gold, and weapon/Onmyo/Ninj...

You know how annoying it is when developers release major patches for games and kind of just go silent? That's not what Team Ninja is doing and I appreciate the hell out of it. Nioh 2's version 1.05 patch is now live for the only version of...

In a bid to help promote the upcoming "Shadow of Doom" Fantastic Four/Doctor Doom-flavored paid DLC next week, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 team is sharing a new set of skins for the game. As is customary the skins will be free, with...

If you're a returning Nioh player, you're probably counting the seconds until you can unlock nodes on the Onmyo and Ninjutsu skill trees in Nioh 2 and start flinging your comfy old spells, buffs, and traps. You'll still want to keep an eye ...

Nioh was something of a surprise hit in 2017. Many of us saw the Sengoku-era action-RPG – a brilliant fusion of From Software concepts and Team Ninja's own Ninja Gaiden – as a return to form. It's not every day that a falte...

It's here. Today finally sees the launch of Team Ninja's epic adventure sequel Nioh 2, now available to purchase exclusively on PlayStation 4. As noted by our own Jordan Devore in his review, it's certainly something special, blending a vib...

Nioh 2 has a bunch of interlocking stats and systems that can give you a much-needed edge in combat, and one of them, in particular, is worth shouting out: you gotta stay on top of your Soul Cores. It took me way too long before I realized ...

Nioh players all know and love Kodama, the little green spirits lurking around the world in easily-overlooked places, but in Nioh 2, you'll also want to keep an eye out for Sudama, the purple fellas with skull masks. You aren't meant to rou...

You know the drill in pretty much every game that features some sort of "Devil Trigger" or "Rage of the Gods" mechanic (Devil May Cry or God of War respectively). Typically you want to save this game-changing power for a tougher e...

With its Last Chance Trial now finished, showing off how Nioh 2 has changed since its early alphas, the sequel is less than a week away from dropping, kicking off a deluge of new games for 2020. Since Team Ninja takes feedback seriously, an...

We're at the point where I'm just ready for Nioh 2 to hit. It's out worldwide on March 13: that's soon! But it was also revealed with little to no gameplay in mid-2018, and outside of a very recent string of demos, we didn't get any substan...

I feel like I barely made a dent in the Nioh 2 open beta, and something tells me I'm far from alone. Thankfully, Team Ninja is giving us another shot at redemption before the sequel releases on March 13. From February 28 at 12:00 a.m. Paci...

Nioh 2 will soon be upon us (March 13) and once again it's going to be a PS4 exclusive.  How can I say for sure that Koei Tecmo is sticking to that release date? Well the game has gone gold ("master approval") and is ready for a full r...

So, Nioh is still doing quite well for itself. The fact that it exists on a platform that's selling 100 million and change helps, but it also benefits from great word of mouth. In short, Nioh is a return to form for Team Ninja and...

Nioh turned out better than I ever would've expected, and I love that we're getting an imminent sequel, but what's next for Team Ninja now that the PlayStation 4 is starting to wind down? In an interview with Eurogamer Portugal, Team Ninja'...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is no stranger to free DLC, but that doesn't make those periodic content drops any less sweet. Out of nowhere following the disappointing second season pass entry, the official Nintendo of America Twitter acc...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is ready to drop its third and final season pass offering (and possibly final DLC overall?): "Shadow of Doom." Now we already knew the pack would be Fantastic Four-themed and would have Doctor Doom in it, but...
