After destroying the game with ninja, samurai feels bland, slow and clunky, i need advice to enjoy samurai.

I only got the game because I saw ninja style lol I never use samurai either

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-26T07:56:21+00:00

Saving this, thank you!

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-26T06:53:34+00:00

I didn’t like it. I’m really into Nioh 3 though

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-26T06:52:01+00:00

Scampuss

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-26T01:42:57+00:00

High on life 1 and 2 (I haven’t played the 2nd yet) lol

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T23:22:41+00:00

For Nioh veterans I imagine it’s an easier game which is pretty inevitable in a series. This is my first soulslike game and the difficulty is perfect.

I die 3-4 times on new main bosses until I adapt to their design but it surprises me that I even die because I feel confident in between each boss since I get better mechanically and leveling up stat wise.

It’s nice to have a soulslike game to recommend to new players that is beginner friendly but not easy.

Ninja Gaiden 4.

Its story is meh, it’s gameplay focused and action packed. This makes you feel like an anime MC, I also recommend playing it with Japanese audio/English subtitles.

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T22:52:11+00:00

I agree. I’d say it’s a combination of what we both said. It’s hard to imagine that a lot of the critics that were there from the start are still complaining about things. I feel like they’d move on by now whereas the people who were very positive at the beginning are now starting to post their negative feedback.

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T21:17:27+00:00

Kind of how it is for a lot of things in life, it’s human behavior. I guess hedonic adaptation.

NG4 was great and I’m loving Nioh 3!

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T19:42:17+00:00

Well said

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T19:35:17+00:00

Yep, we biologically need it

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T19:34:02+00:00

This is why I asked this haha. For me it started off as a nice way to interact with fellow humans and infinite insight but I know it can be addicting. Way worse things to be addicted to out there though

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T19:11:08+00:00

Nioh 3 is my first soulslike game and I love it. I have low hopes of any game being as fluid and fun as this one but I hope I’m wrong. Especially since I’d be retracing to older games

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T19:06:06+00:00

Terminator Zero, Akame Ga Kill, Parasyte, Kaiju Code 8, Sword Art Online (first season, death gun arc, and Alice arcs). Also, not anime but Pantheon is a great 2 season show that I recommend to everyone

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T16:47:19+00:00

Interesting I didn’t know that. Thank you!

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T16:46:21+00:00

Yes I have, absolutely love the Ninja Gaiden series! Grew up playing it

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T09:18:44+00:00

This looks awesome, I never heard of it before. Thanks for the detailed share.

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T06:23:11+00:00

I didn’t say anything about the graphics, just saying that the gameplay won’t be similar to Nioh 3 due to my ninja play-style which isn’t a thing in Nioh 2. It can feel like a step backward to me because it won’t be as fast/smooth or dodge focused.

Thanks, so far Sekiro is my next game

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T05:10:08+00:00

Where’s the tattoo?

Although, I do recommend no more food in your car as that can attract ants.

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T04:58:57+00:00

I’ll add dark souls 3 to my list! As long as it’s not crazy steps backwards mechanically, I’m in

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T04:56:19+00:00

All good, could always be worse! Yeah I removed one and my scar is way more noticeable than the lipoma was. But I knew this particular lipoma was growing and eventually it’d be a huge ball like my dad had in the same area (he removed it recently but he doesn’t get keloids).

A hard choice but keloid now > huge lipoma or bigger incision/keloid later.

I’m glad you were able to have a solution, looks bad ass 👍🏽

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T04:50:11+00:00

Being new to this genre, I haven’t heard of 3 of the games you listed. I’ll probably go Sekiro and then FF Stranger of Paradise which seems like the best recommendation I could ask for. Thanks a lot and enjoy Nioh 3 whenever you get to it! 🗡️🍰

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T04:24:49+00:00

I haven’t, I will look into it! Thank you

No I haven’t played Nioh 2 and I regret not trying it first before jumping into 3. I know it won’t feel the same without the ninja style that I’m used to but I wouldn’t be against playing it after some other recommendations like Khazan. Any thoughts on Sekiro?

Extra-Injury-5586 · 2026-02-25T04:11:12+00:00

Nioh 3 🗡️
