Nioh 3 is being hailed as Team Ninja’s most confident action title and the easiest entry point to the series so far. The reviewer admits they were excited but uneasy after the studio revealed an "open field" approach, fearing a diluted, Nioh-lite experience in the vein of Rise of the Ronin—concerns that the final game ultimately overcomes.
  • Team Ninja has tightened the core combat into a polished, high-impact package that feels like the studio at its best.
  • The game is notably more accessible than previous Nioh entries, offering smoother onboarding for newcomers without losing depth for veterans.
  • Announcement of an open-field level structure caused apprehension, but those design choices don’t derail the franchise’s combat focus.
  • Comparisons to Rise of the Ronin provoked worry that Nioh 3 would be a watered-down spin; the review argues it feels like a true, full-strength sequel instead.
