So for Strangers of Paradise, not sure when dlc came out but on that gilgamesh difficulty shit is already difficult af, there is still the max difficulty lufenia also and this guy saying it was easy made me think he probably just beat the story on normal or even hard which is still easy, probably did chaos with extra mode too. Another thing he said about gear system in SoP is that you can just click OPTIMIZE GEAR and it will equip you highest level loot but it doesn't mean that that gear is better than some of your other ones you can do a customized build 16:03 and have so many combinations woth different classes and sifferent playstyles it's crazy and labyrinth stuff is pretty difficult but fun too, I feel like this rundown of SoP was before dlc or idk because it doesn't make sense otherwise, definitely better than Nioh 1 at least in my opinion, didn't care for story in either but gameplay feels more fun with SoP

I actually went from playing Ninja Gaiden Black into Strangers of Paradise with a bit of Dead or Alive thrown into the mix (went on a Team Ninja binge... didn't have a PS4 at the time so Nioh was sadly out of reach, and Wo Long hadn't yet released). SoP scratched that 3D Ninja Gaiden itch in many ways except essence charging. But the soul shield, chain cancelling and parry mechanics were wonderfully satisfying and a great substitute. The combat was really satisfying but the game got especially grindy and became more about optimising gear during the 2nd DLC after rift level 101. It was still far better than the supposedly mediocre memefest game I was expecting to find.

SOP is peak for me because it's just so damn fun, every time I think I'm done I find a new way to use a weapon or a job combo, or a new skill I've never touched so there I go to menu to make a build (which is so much less of a headache that builds in Nioh). Add to that the Final Fantasy flair, which as a FF enjoyer is still amazing. I love Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, but SOP is easily one of my fav games of all time. Top 5 for sure.

My favourite thing though was just going to coop and helpin ppl, especially newer players lol. Doing co op on max difficulty with randoms was very tough but it's understandable.

I'd personally put Wo Long at the end of the list. SOP has a shit story, with a good ending but it has great build diversity with very fun min/maxing which allows you to one shot bosses if you build properly. WO long does not have any of this. In Wo long once you get a +9 weapon that's it.. That's the strongest your character will ever get. I've used all the builds In wo long farmed all the graces and min maxed many different sets and nothing feels powerful aside from a guding blade spam. The games a massive letdown compared to its predecessors. In wo long 98% of the weapons are just bad. Guding blade isn't actually good its just that every other armor or weapon in the game is lackluster. In nioh 2 or strangers of paradise EVERYTHING IS VIABLE. all of the weapon types and armor sets with Good investment is viable and powerful!

Wo Long has 3 DLCs so I would expect it to be the same, so we just have to wait it out. I didn't even bother going back to all of the levels on NG+ for both games since it was pointless. Instead I skipped to either NG++ & NG+++ and swapping back and forth between the two

Nioh 2 still too goated, but wo long's systems are being judged by the wrong metrics by a lot of people with followings, so hearing that compelled me to correct it.

As somebody who is playing Wolong, I disagree with OP. The magic just doesn't feel as satisfying as utilitarian as it is. And then the 5 phases is just. "I don't care, outside of niche situations. You just parry most things anyways. Wizardry just feels so at odds with it's gameplay loop in already pretty easy game." Don't get me wrong, I think Wo Long is a fantastic game. But it doesn't exist in isolation from these other games. It also doesn't help that the Morale system is pretty much required for most of the useful skills, and even without caring about the Wizardry skills... they don't offer much outside of slightly situational buffs or debilitations. And compare that to Nioh 1 and 2, the magic system of Wo Long is fundamentally worse in every way. Like, fullstop. The magic system is just bad in Wo Long. The Parry system and Martial Arts system is too useful by comparison to ever want to waste time using Wizardry, even when in advantage. There is rarely ever a time you'll want it past debuffing or buffing before a fight, or applying things like poison. Wizardry feels... more like a co-op thing you coordinate with your friends. To be useful in situations without throwing a fight or encounter... when the game just doesn't play in a way where you will practically need Wizardry. It just doesn't feel good to use either even when you can argue you may find SOME use for it. (What that use will be, I really could not tell you. The game is just that generally much easier to use deflect into Martial arts lol.) The fact you can brute force more efficiently, versus finding a situation where you need it past removing field effects or buffs... is really telling. Where in games like Nioh 1 and 2. "I need to apply as many debuffs as I can, so I can go back to doing my long ass combos." really does say a lot about the balance differences. You also just feel generally more rewarded for exploiting weaknesses with Omniyo and Ninpo Magics. Granted, Nioh 1 and 2 generally reward you getting the most out of options for your builds. Kinda feels like a real time Shin Megami Tensei type affair if I am honest, and it's just really satisfying because it feels like you earn victories. In Wo Long, kinda feels handed to you with how... simple the mechanics are by comparison.

Does nioh 2 have level requirements like nioh 1 for missions (only played that one)? Bc that really annoyed me, I never played the dlc because my character was like level 120 after killing the final boss and the first dlc required him to be 150 or something and I didn't want to farm for hours, also almost every enemy one shot me in the end game so a random zombie did as much damage as a huge boss... And the side missions just sucked with how hard the enemies became (those two bird warrior mini bosses at the same time were horrendous) and you had to do the whole thing again if you died.

Not surprising Nioh 2 is top dog, but my issue with Nioh 1 is that it plays and feels like a tech demo at times. It's clear it has many rough edges. Wo Long is good, but it also lacks polish when it came out and it's combat is simple.

If you play on hard mode, or in NG+ chaos mode, damn it’s as hard as Nioh 2 (although I found SoP to be quite unfair many times more compared to Nioh 2) The combo and class system and especially customisation in FFO is also one of the best from team ninja, only behind Nioh 2 as its stance system allows for even more depth. The items are a lot, more than any other game, that’s true, but that contributes to make an enormous amount of build variety.

I don't know, but after an enormous game as Nioh 2, Wu Long is a big stepback, I hope one day they made Nioh 3, with the basis of Nioh 2, just take the next step, and the visual aspect of Wu Long, and that will be epic.

In short, go buy a 40 Euro CD key instead of paying 70 Euro for a 6/10, short game. I rather pay 70 Euro for games that have a Witcher 3 length main story of about 50hrs and finally, the game looks dated. This is NOT a nice-looking 2023 game, even PC ports like God of War look far nicer. VERDICT 6/10. Mediocre game, I would have preferred seeing Nioh 3 on PC instead of this.

I'm a Team ninja fan as well (as well as souls player) and I loved SoP, especially once all of its DLC was out, but saying the combat system/mechanics are not as in-depth as a souls game is the dumbest thing I have ever heard (sorry to sound so harsh). Also I disagree as classifying any of these games as "souls-likes" even if their marketing is based around the term. this is because they take much more from their Ninja Gaiden games (especially Nioh) then mechanics that Fromsoft popularized. Most souls games have a very simple combat system consisting of light attack , heavy attack , magic spells, shield parry, I-frame rolls, bows, some weapon skills and that about sums up combat depth in souls games. Souls games have one mechanic that make everything trivial, the I-frame rolls. Games like SoP on the other hand have a parry/absorb mechanic, a dual class system with customizable moves of all weapon classes (10-13 total), 35-36 jobs to make builds around, active abilities along with weapon skills (all can be customized and swapped out at any time), passive combat buffs, a DMC style devil trigger mode (3 types once you beat the game and get to the DLC), a job cancel mechanic that adds ton to combat depth and cool combos, fully customizable NPC allies (or you could play solo) and as the cherry on top you have the diablo/looter RPG mechanics/stats that add a ton of repeatability and endgame. Souls games are not even in the same league as SoP and Nioh in terms of combat depth. People seriously underestimate how deep SoP really is and while its not as mechanically technical as Nioh 2 it has just as much depth in its RPG mechanics and build diversity. As far as my top modern TN games I would put Wo Long last because it was the most basic and watered down version of their past games (enjoyed the game but doesn't hold a candle to their past games), then Nioh 1, SoP is 2nd, and lastly the king is obviously Nioh 2.

Nioh 2 got nice story, nice combat and overall its KFC tier top of the line. I just want to go and have a taste even if I already go there once, cuz its that good. The story is good too, Its like story book where you only know the part of people story that you have partaken in or they told you about their goals and dream directly during the spirit sharing, they didnt drag out the cutscene and only give you what you need to know and thats professional. The story is weird in some places like how does that happen? but once you piece it together doing main and sidequest or just continue listening, its really awesome. They really like to tell story that was base on your character prespective, you only know what you see or heard but mostly seen type of stuff and there also lore if you absorb enouf knowledge from the soul core of yokai you absorb, its just a lot of reading thats all. I like to focus on the story even when its spars, the combat is nice too, very fast pace and speedy unlike soul game so I don't get the "soulslike" thing unless they comparing the difficulty but I got stuck fighting boss like hundred of time in elden ring and DS but here only took me like two digit to get the ground in Nioh 2 cuz we have Nuclear option and the evade timing is very generous too. The weapon is like Bloodborne level or maybe better, cuz the stand mechanic. 90/100 very cool game.

I still dont really get why Nioh is still compared to Dark Souls Seriously, dont get me wrong, I played my fair share of FromSoft games, but in all honesty, they didn't reall click with me. The only 2 FromSoft games I really liked where Bloodborne and, of course, Sekiro I don't like the weighty, clunky movement of the Dark Souls games, it's just not enjoyable for me The fast paced action of Sekiro, aswell as the stellar combat of Bloodborn really clicked with me tho This is where Nioh comes in. My god, it's das and night compared to the Souls games Sure, getting your ass kicked is half the fun, but my god it's the same with Sekiro, when the combat clicks, it clicks It feels like you could take on entire mountain, only to quickly get humbled by John Bandit over there two tapping you with his rusty spear All in all, Team Ninja still stays on top of my favourite developers. I love their games and I can't wait for Rise od Ronin. If they manage to melt together both the managing and depth aspect of Nioh, aswell as taking some aspects of Wo Longs combat, I can guarantee you, it's gonna be amazing

Stranger of Paradise isn't bad honestly, if fact I think it's the best modern Final Fantasy game because of how good the game design is and that's saying something considering Final Fantasy (or JRPGS in general) and actual good game design rarely go hand in hand with me. It's the only action-based FF I found myself enjoying because there's little BS in it's gameplay and level design (Only real complaint is the lack of a map system and having to exit missions to adjust gear stats), the job system, along with the affinity system, is freaking good and can be surprisingly helping if you know what you are doing (Pressing the optimize gear option will NOT help you on the higher difficulties). The only REAL issue this game suffers from is on the technical side of things as the game is poorly optimized, like I was surprised it ran and looked as good as it did on my PS5 after finding out much data most of the game's assets have (Clearly a Square issue like with FFXIV 1.0). If we're talking story, Nioh 1 and 2 are far worse than Stranger in this category because not only do they require you to have knowledge of actual Japanese history, but the way they're told with the cutscenes being almost unrelated to each other and characters sometimes being introduced in the very last mission with no explanation at all makes me wonder what the hell is even going on. Even the Assassin's Creed games told their stories better and those games took place in historical periods I initially knew nothing about. Stranger's on the other hand, while not told perfectly, is at least understandable and if you wish to no more about the lore, it's in the files. Sure, the story is a bit cliched and at first glance sounds like Nomura's signature Kingdom Hearts writing, but Kingdom Hearts got most of it's dumb writing from Final Fantasy, the light vs darkness thing with special guest time travel was what Final Fantasy 1 was all about, so it makes sense that it's prequel/spin-off, Stranger of Paradise, would be about the same thing as well.

Reason being is it had the absolute best gear you could get at 900+ floor Abyss. It gave you an edge in power most players weren't determined enough to achieve. Nioh to stopped it at floor 108 with the Underworld and then depths of the Underworld but it just wasn't quite the same Other than that, yeah Nioh 2 all day.

Burst counters are nice but the problem is that you can exploit them.

Nioh 1 had the whole weapon super transformation, which basically done the same thing in the second game, so It's not to different.

Things I hope will happen in Nioh 3 (or other similar games from TN): 1) take Nioh 2 as a baseline, since that's the best combat system of any action-rpg game 2) improve the loot system: more quality over quantity, or at least increase the inventory space, and improve the search options (filtering) 3) 2 Picture Scrolls can be equipped ... because why not? :D 4) I see this Interim as a sort of proof of concept for a hub => maybe they want to make Nioh 3 more open world, it could be nice instead of using the main map 5) add a jump button, but make sure not to overdo it like Wo Long, if it's like Ninja Gaiden Black then great (doesn't jump very high + can be used for great platforming action) 6) bring the roll back again from Nioh 1 instead of just temper 7) last but not least: make the game harder. Way of the Nioh and the Underworld are too easy once you have reached level 750 8) edit: forgot but it's crucial: get rid of that yokai shift

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that Nioh2 is going to be first on the list. Edit: I am indeed correct :P Personally i think Wo long is an actual good game, the problem where this much disappointment is coming from is only two places: 1. PC players who got arguably one of the worst ports of the decade - i do play on the PC, however i use controller so it's not AS BAD as some people's experiences with it :) 2. People (like myself) who played Nioh2 and Sekiro (finished like 50 times) and we have the bad habit of comparing it to both games since it's supposed to be a combination of the two. And unfortunately it's not as good as either of them (but still a very good game) but that's only coming from veteran soul/nioh player like myself. If i played this game before any soulslike i'm sure i would enjoy it MUCH MORE, however it's hard not to compare to their previous game (which i love) and probably my favourite game of all time (Sekiro, and this coming from someone that has played almost all fantasy or medieval themed games on PC's since the 90s) I think i will save my steam review(not reviewed it) after all 3 DLCs come out, i would like to review the actual finished full product. For Nioh2 at least, my grade jumped from 8 to a 9/10 when including all DLCs.

Quite the opposite if you ask me, Wo Long felt like a pretty big step back in comparison. To the point you might feel overwhelmed by all the layers Nioh 2 has to offer. Combat is WAY more challenging since you also have 2 weapons you can switch on the fly, but each one has 3 stances and customizable combos for each stance with a ton of stuff you unlock over the course of the game. You also get Guardian Spirits like in Wo Long but instead of a few spell choices not only do you have Onmyo magic and Ninjutsu tools you also get to set 3 Yokai cores that kind of work like special attacks/summons on top of everything else you can upgrade and customize... You will "shed your mortal coil" a LOT in Nioh 2... far far more than you have in Wo Long, i 100% guarantee it. :P

The magic in Wo Long is most effective for crowd control and when it's used to exploit the weakness of an enemy. Each element has a weakness to another so it helps to know which one you are fighting and which one to use against it. For example, when are fighting an enemy that lights their weapon on fire, you can use a water spell like ice to douse it to prevent the extra damage you could take from the fire. You can also make an enemy stagger faster using spells of their elemental weakness.

Hyrule Warriors (obvious not as good as the 2nd one but i can't include that one on here since it wasn't made by them). 8. Strangers Paradise (pales in comparison to the best in the series but still one of the better spin off FF games). 7. Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge (vanilla suxked but this enhanced version's much better, just not as good as the first 2 ofcourse). 6. Rise of Ronin (As much as i love team ninja i was mad disappointed wit this game, you would think wit they're track record they'd get their shxt done right but it was just merely a good game. not much of a soulslike but more of a ghost of tsushima son that will never match it's farther's greatness. Not a bad game but it could've been so much more. Also team ninja should stay away from open world games cuz they're clearly not good at it). 5. Nioh (the first great soulslike not made by Fromsoftware). 4. Wo Long: CLASSIC (awesome game definietily team ninja's best gameplay in their soulslike game, hopefully it gets a sequel someday). 3. Ninja Gaiden 2/Sigma 2: CLASSIC (amazing sequel wit the greatest hack n slash gameplay of them all, this game's carnage is satisfying). 2. Nioh 2: CLASSIC (team ninja's best soulslike aswell as their most challanging, team ninja really needs to make a third one). 1. Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma 1: CLASSIC (has greatest written all over it, greatest hack n slash game of all time, greatest ninja/samurai game of all time, greatest action game of all time, GREATEST TEAM NINJA GAME OF ALL TIME.

So to me it goes from best to worst: #1. Nioh 2, feel like they just perfected everything from the first Nioh. Even the story, while still not like Last of Us levels, is an upgrade. Most every area was upgraded imo. #2. Nioh, just enjoyed this breath of fresh air. It's a beautiful game and quite amazing. It's intricate battle system and leveling system to give you some insane builds was pretty new and great. #3. Wo Long, not that this was bad either, I just have a fonder connection to Nioh series. But it has some awesome set pieces, and awesome battles. #4. Stranger.. Yeah.. Nothing to add lol. It's not bad, but it is far more average in every category

Nioh 2 is one of my favourite games ever. It’s also the most difficult game I’ve ever played. I tried stranger of paradise on release but couldn’t handle it. It just felt like a rushed poor quality game but now we are a year later, I might give it another try.

FFO SoP combat is so much better than Wolong combat. Basically a streamline nioh style combat, lost a quite bit of complexity but also cut a lot of "fat". Level design is bad, but they had a requirement to have a final fantasy feeling/nostalgia, oh well. RPG aspect is so much better than nioh 2, builds and itemizations are much more refined interesting. I want to say this because your info is a misinformation in this aspect. You just need to get to later difficulties to get to this stage (probably a problem, but nioh2 has this problem as well).

Surprised you didn’t mention the first nioh’s NG+. That was when the game really opened up and the meta is just super addicting. With leveling up your spirit animal and being able to equip two at once. It added more perks and insane buffs when using the right spirit animal. And I found use for quite a few of them, whether it be looting or money farming etc. Fun video though! You have a good attitude and articulate well. Keep at it! And I also agree with this list lol.

I would personally switch wo long with the first Nioh game, for me both Nioh games are superior to Wo Long, even when this one is also a lot of fun but too simplistic compared to the Nioh games and also less flexible since it really demands to use deflect very often, I prefer the variety and combat depth and flexibility of the Nioh games

For Wo Long what I've gotten out of the wizardry spells is that they are more for status effects than damage. Unless it's the big spells. The status effects are pretty nasty. Like shock is a spirit DOT and toxic makes any other status ailments remain at full duration until the toxic wears off. Add any other "bla bla" effect on "bla bla" action skill on some gear and you can just cancer your enemies to death and it's funny especially on invaders.

The title is deceiving but they all play different I would say that Nioh 1 by now is the one I consider the one that has less value since Nioh 2 exists, then probably Strangers of Paradise I will play the DLCs by the end of the year but while I think that Nioh is great the defense of Strangers of Paradise is the best one in their games, while the loop is meh job system is really cool and the main character is awesome but the buffs are top, the gameplay is nothing on any of the games like darksouls they are like Ninja Gaiden but in disguise, next one is Wo Long which is awesome after finishing everything it has to add is a masterpiece the jumping is fantastic not only for exploration but combat, finally Nioh 2 for the variety, now for what I have seen Rise of the Ronin is fantastic it seems to be over Wo Long but Wo Long is so sweet. I will wait for a PC release of RotR, I can tell however that they tried so many things in this game that is amazing, also I completely dissagree with the approach to the story on Wo Long, the story and characters are amazing but you need to know the lore so the problem is the execution for people who never read or play other games like Dynasty Warriors, the voice acting is good on japanese but for some reason people from the States do not read, the camera in Wo Long is not as bad as in other games but there are many options, magic well used is fantastic, jumps properly used allows you to take on multiple enemies whip, fists and longsword are magnific, there are more tools like the specialty of the weapons, the elemental affinity and divine beasts were not explored etc so basically his description of the game is half or 65% of what it offers, and that's why it seems lackluster but the DLCs add weapons, magic, regular enemies and teaches people how to engage and when to use their tools so they won't be just doing basic combos and deflecting but properly playing the game how it is intended.

SoP I got bored of before even finishing. You just run at enemy, attack. Did it get staggered? Do what you want, you can infinite it at no cost because this game has no stamina system. Did it not? Fun, an enemy that doesn't care what I'm doing. Maybe just spam aero or something because the stupid magic system makes that spell broken against everything. Every weapon except gun is basically the same as a result of this and the dynasty warrior attack strings and every class only really differs in what triangle does, which for most of them is "not as good as aero" or "not as good as sage". The break system not giving you proper animations if you played anyone but Jack ruined much of the appeal of that, since Jack is the most generic 'captain shepard' protag Japan has ever made. Setting fell flat because loading screens and magic orbs spoil the entire story like 2 maps in. You know why the guys are strong (and the reason is lame), you know why the world is why it is, long before anyone in-verse questions any of it. Lo Wong needs time to not be bad, Nioh 1 was a 6/10 game because it had 3 different enemies it used on every map and all 3 were trivial, Nioh 2 is a solid 9. Its not even remotely close.

I play nioh`s and wo long recently and i love that games. Nioh 2 is really great, Wo long is nice cuz i love parry the system like sekiro... but is much dirty in combats vs bosses, are fews bosses with clean fight for a good trades of parry. Sekiro is the best for me... but Nioh`s are really fun and with great system fight.

I think you should consider trying to stop saying combat is fun, and try describing some of the ways you approached encounters with the game's mechanics. To help give a sense of how this series differs from eachother or at least it helps us tell the way you prefer to play in them. More sneaking? Gun ablazing? Letting summons and npcs deal with the enemies more? Using up all your meters for attacks, or buffs, or recovery? Or just focusing on parries and defense overall to take advantage of enemy patterns? Also another thing to consider with these team ninja games is the mechanics and overall content they add with the dlcs. Its a lot more than some would expect and it can really move that needle on which game people like over the other.

Wo long was super underwhelming in my opinion.. The story is all over the place. The spells are super boring. The enemy variety is bad and just not enough. The difficulty is strange (the first boss was the hardest for me and later bosses a joke). Some things are just dumb like buying arrows and you don't get them until you go to the blacksmith wtf? You can parry everything i didn't block ones in this game. Fast weapons + status is to strong compare to other playstyles. I don't know man felt like a downgrade compare to Nioh 2 or even 1..

For me, Nioh 1 and 2 are even at #1, followed by Wo Long, with Stranger of Paradise a distant last. For me, what keeps the two Nioh games games even is Living Weapon being far superior to the Yokai forms and being able to carry more charges of spells and bombs in the first Nioh. Nioh 2 was better at most other aspects.

Why is nioh looking so "bad"? I mean, it was published in 2017 and god of war was published 1 year later and looks so much better, why is it like that? Nioh 2 is also looking not that good (i think) and wo long i don't know because some games look on youtube much worse than ingame (for example ds3). I'm just wondering
