Nioh 3 has finally been released, and it looks to be Team Ninja's biggest hit yet! Koei Tecmo sent me a key several days before its release, and I spent the next week completing everything you can do in your first playthrough.
Like I mentioned in my previous video, The 25 Best Games I played in 2025, I've been wanting to try different types of content, and reviews are one thing I had in mind. Nioh 3 seemed like a good one to start with, but I'm super late with this... maybe nobody cares any more lol. But I'm glad I finished it, and I had fun gathering my thoughts on this game, the series, genre, and whatever else came to mind.
I covered most of the important things that need to be talked about in a review, but after finishing this, I realized I forgot to mention a couple of things and could have expanded on more subjects here and there... oh well. And the editing is super lazy. I just loaded up NG+, hit record, and played for a while... after not playing the game for a few days, so I was even getting a bit rusty. It's just background footage, with no special highlights to go along with anything I say. Sorry about that! I'll get better at this stuff as I do more. ( •̀ ᵕ •́ )૭
Thank you to Koei Tecmo for sending me a key!
If you want to try Nioh 3 out for yourself, head over to Steam, PSN, or Xbox and download the demo! Your progress carries over into the main game, so there's no reason not to give it a shot if you enjoy action-RPGs, Soulslikes, or just action games in general.
0:00 Intro
1:18 Story/Setting
4:23 Combat
13:12 Game Design
19:44 Conclusion
(I don't know what to title these chapters. They just kinda all blend together lol.)
I was working hard on Ninja Gaiden 4 right as I got the Nioh 3 key, so I took a break from NG4 and moved on to this. I do want to make more Nioh videos, so I'm not sure if I should continue with this right now, or go back to Ninja Gaiden... plus, I want to play Romeo is a Dead Man, and lots of other games are either piling up or on the horizon.... I am pretty disappointed that I've only managed to finish two videos this year though, and neither one is a proper gameplay video, like I usually make. I'm failing miserably right now, but at least I'm trying, lol.
Anyway, thank you for watching my first review! Let me know what you think!
