Nioh 2

From the development studio behind Dead Or Alive and Ninja Gaiden comes Nioh 2, the sequel to the 2017 action RPG souls-like game. Departing from the original somewhat, players now create their own unique half-yokai, half-human protagonist in 1500s Japan who can Yokai Shift - giving them access to incredibly powerful Yokai beings to lay waste to their foes. Nioh 2 is a fictionalized take on the Sengoku era, putting players in the shoes of a soldier on the front lines of war during this tumultuous era.
