Last year I played Nioh 2 and commended it to be one of the best non-From souls games, albeit very long and repetitive.

Now I tried Nioh 1 and realized Nioh "2" is in fact Nioh 1.1. The "second installment" features character customization and slightly polished graphics but everything else is the same. Same game mechanics, same enemies, same loot, same levelling, same confusing story, same level design (heck, I think even some of the levels are exactly the same).

If you fervently love the franchise, sure, buy both games and you will enjoy them. But I've already had enough fun with Nioh "2" and this game is just the same.
