10 Essential PS4 Games You Must Play In 2017

Nioh seems to be a real treat for fans of other action RPGs such as the Souls series, or just difficulty or challenge in general. Players assume the role of William, as he travels to Japan and trains as a Samurai. You’ll fight other warriors and beasts called Yokai on your journey, and you’ll also probably die, a lot.

Unlike Souls games, each mission in Nioh is set in its own separate map. Of course, there are an absolute tonne of secrets and shortcuts to find in each level, and a super tough boss at the end to test your mettle.

There’s also a unique combat system in the game, allowing William to prepare for attack with various stances. Holding your weapon in different positions can allow for quicker, but weaker attacks, or slower, stronger ones, or even in between. You’ll need to constantly change it up to overcome everything the game will throw at you, and it really will throw a lot at you.
