Worth playing now?

[DecalMan]

Bought on release played like 10 hours I thought it was ok but the performance & bugs made me quit.
Hows the game now that everything has been released?

Performance are way better. You can always refunds if it doesn't work for you.

They have added a lot of content with each DLC and there's plenty of it now. Even enemy variety is a lot better now.

They nerfed the difficulty significantly including stronger stats and a much more forgiving parry but overall it's still a lot of fun and the game gives you a lot of option to make it as hard as you want and if you push it to the extreme, it will be stupid hard.

Did they add a lot of content though? Every DLC review says it's very short and not worth the money.

Each DLC adds a new zone that includes 10 missions, 3 main and 7 sub-missions. The DLC's also offer new weapons, armour sets, reinforcements and divine beasts. Each subsequent DLC also includes a new difficulty mode. Higher difficulty versions of the fights introduce new mechanics which extends the replay-ability of the initial and added bosses. I hope this answers your question.

Yea so it sounds like you liked it from the get go, i thought the release was a 3/10. Unless its atleast a 7/10 now im still not gonna play it.

[Steven Silverheart]

It had its problems at release but by capping it at 60fps and using a 12900 with a 4090 i had no problems.

[Steven Silverheart]

Ita worth noting it has DLSS now.

It is really fun despite the fact that it is a bit too easy. I played it around December and now in April with the DLC.

Just make sure whatever fps cap you apply is consistently met - e.g. lower settings so that 60 fps cap stays at 60 pretty much the entire time. Frame rate fluctuations below the cap are very exaggerated by a stuttery camera animation, which doesn't happen otherwise. They have this problem on Rise of the Ronin too by the way

Not sure if your early in the game, but the "inner discipline" feature literally allows the player to make the game as hard as they want and this comes along with higher drop rates of gear. so you are also rewarded for using it

So imo the game is not too easy as you can crank that stuff up for a higher challenge if you desire it. Now on release before all of these features got added I would agree, but in its current state there is challenge to be had in this game.

I agree with the rest, that if they can hit a stable 60 then lock the game to 60 and it will play buttery smooth, but if its locked to 120fps they will get frame dips because it clearly was not optimized for higher frame rates (SoP, Nioh 1, has the same issues, with Nioh 2 being the best optimized of the bunch).

I'm a huge fan of Nioh 1 and 2 and got this game at release, and was pretty unimpressed. It ran poorly, looked too much like a ps3 game, the level design was way too basic, and the combat was extremely watered down and simplistic compared to the Nioh games. The only thing I liked was the magic system but it wasn't enough to redeem the game for me.

Recently I've seen a lot of posting by people claiming that the game has been changed a lot since launch. I've reinstalled it and have been playing it the last few days, and other than the performance being better, it still has the same issues. I can't really believe that the same company that made Nioh 1 and 2 made a game with such basic uninspired combat and level design.

If you really just have to play it or try it, it's worth noting that it's on Gamepass.
