Any genuine reviews so far?

[Mechanique]

Every single review on Steam is potato PC complaining instead of upgrading

I don't have ♥♥♥♥ PC so how is the game itself? I am a fan of Nioh 1/2, is it as good or a downgrade the Wu Long was?

[󠀡󠀡]

It's Wo Long but open-world slop

Worse than Nioh 2 and even Wo Long

[AILAD]

It's watered down Nioh combat + generic ubisoft open world.

Other things like the story, acting, art, animations, graphics, etc, are all terrible.

RTX4090 confirmed to be potato

Most of the bad reviews have newer graphic cards.
I think the problem is not a real one.
In real it just shows who is one of the fellow traveller.

i9 11900k, 3080 RTX, 32 RAM

Running no DLSS, 1080p, 60 fps cap. Game runs stable 60 in combat, in city sometimes drops to 57. In cutscenes not uncommon to drop into 38-40 fps.

Gameplay-wise pretty boring so far. Just reached first big town (Yokohama), hopefully gets more interesting once I unlock more weapon styles.

I unlocked some weapon styles but it's still the same gameplay where you spam the special attacks over and over

In Nioh every weapon type felt different, like Monster Hunter

In this game they're cosmetic, like Wo Long

Not running DLSS, 1440p, 120 fps cap. So far, I haven't had any framerate hitches that I've noticed, though I don't have an FPS counter on. Historically speaking, you know when a Team Ninja games runs lower, as it basically becomes unplayable and feels like it's in slow-motion, and I haven't experienced that yet.

I've gotten through the prologue and entered the open world, cleared most of the first area. I find it pretty underwhelming so far, which is frustrating. The open world feels very checklist-y. You can auto-run to specific areas with your horse, which helps mitigate some of the travel tedium, but you're still waiting and watching your horse/character travel. Story has surprising amount of emphasis for being a Team Ninja game, which I'm not into, but others may enjoy that aspect conversely. There are difficulty options, so the game is likely accessible for many more people.

I don't understand people claiming they can't run the game at 60fps on a 4090

I have a 4080 / Ryzen 9 7900X and i'm running literally everything at max, at 120fps, with disabled DLSS

Team Ninja is not a studio known for their technical achievements, so no it's not an impressive game visually, but that's expected from them, the meat is in the combat, customization and gameplay loop

What's funny is that it's usually the other way around.

People with potato PCs will play 40fps 1080p low settings with constant dips and stutters and then swear that the game runs buttery smooth.

People with high end PCs want games to actually run properly on their hardware.

Finshed it twice actually

Nioh 2 weapon system is much more in depth than Wo Long, they added some nice mechanics on DLC weapons like charge attacks for Long Sword but the main game weapons all have the same basic gameplay

The issue is that people buy a prebuilt and think that corners were not cut (both on the hardware/software side) and they don't have to setup anything in the bios or windows to get things running remotely optimal. People treat PC gaming now as if it's a plug an play console experience. I have similar results on a 12700k and 4090. I have no stuttering at native 1440p, unlike the top review. Even the more technical reviews of the game said it didn't have the frame pacing issues of previous engine titles, but there was something wrong with a few of the ultra settings that was tanking performance.

This engine had way more issues in Nioh 2/Wo Long/Wild Hearts. It's a shame they didn't optimize it as well as Dynasty Warriors Origins, but this game is simply running on an older engine build.

Every time I see people just post their GPU or CPU there is more to it than that on a PC...Maybe your bios on your MOBO needs updated. I've had games that ran like ♥♥♥♥ until I updated my MOBO Bios. Maybe your drivers are ♥♥♥♥. Maybe your memory or board itself is ♥♥♥♥. Anyways I have a 4090 liquid suprim, 9800x3d, 64 gigs of RAM updated all drivers and MOBO bios, screen is odyssey g9 so running 4k benchmarks and I am getting average 95 FPS. Game is installed on Samsung EVO PRO m.2 4TB
