Team Ninja offers up a relatively decent port of Nioh 3 for PC users - with a welcome lack of shader compilation stutter alongside a robust options menu promising good things. Low input lag and demanding but decent enough performance on lower-end kit is also pretty impressive - but this is a game that must be run at either 30fps, 60fps or 120fps - and weird things happen if that you're not able to do that. Oh, and we've got optimised settings for you, of course.
