Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method

Hi guys! Today I will teach you how to use a mouse and keyboard to play games on Cemu. It probably won’t work on all games, but one game that it will surely work on is BotW. This process is tested and if you follow every step to the letter, I guarantee you that it will work out. This is the 200th article on this site so I decided to make this article since the article with the old method is the most popular article on the website.

If for some reason you can’t make it work with this method no matter what you try, then you can always check the old method:

https://gamerwelfare.com/2020/01/30/the-definitive-guide-cemu-with-mouse-and-keyboard/

Before I start, I would like to thank memethyl (the person who made Mouse2Joystick and the original setup guide on github) for the tips and fixes he provided.

What you will need:

Besides Cemu, you will need to download two files. The websites are safe and the files don’t contain any viruses.

Here are the links:

https://github.com/memethyl/Mouse2Joystick/wiki/Cemu-setup-guide

https://vigem.org/projects/ViGEm/How-to-Install/

https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmBus/releases

https://github.com/memethyl/Mouse2Joystick/releases

The first link is a short description of the things I am about to show you. I followed that guide to setup my Cemu but since it didn’t mention key bindings it took some time to make everything work so I made this guide to make the setup as detailed and easy as possible. I recommend you read that guide one time because it contains some important warnings that I don’t think are necessary to repeat here.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
The first link has a guide to setup Cemu.

The first thing you need to install is ViGEmBus.

The second link has information on ViGemBus and ways to fix various problems so I recommend reading it if any problem arises.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
The second link has information on ViGemBus.

The third link has the ViGEmBus installer.

Download ViGEmBus_1.18.367_x64_x86.exe I show in the image below and install ViGEmBus, you don’t need to change anything in the installation options, just click Next and Install. In the future, there may be newer versions of the program, only install the version that says Latest on the top, NOT PRE-RELEASE.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
The third link has the ViGEmBus installer.

To check if everything is installed correctly search Device Manager on the Windows search bar and then open it. On the top click on View->Devices by Connection.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
This is the image you will see after you click View->Devices by Connection.

Look for entries with names like Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus or Nefarius Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus.

If more than one entry appears you might have multiple versions of ViGEmBus installed which may cause conflicts. Follow the full clean section, it’s part of the second link I showed you.

If there is only one entry then you can continue.

Right-Click on Nefarius Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus then click on Properties. Click on the Driver tab and you should see something like the image below.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Image of Nefarious Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus Properties

If you see something like this then ViGEmBus is installed correctly.

Next, you have to go to the fourth link.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method

The fourth link has the Mouse2Joystick.zip

You have to download this zip and extract it. You don’t have to download the version that is shown in the image, as time passes new versions will come out so download the latest version.

After you downloaded and extracted the zip go to the extracted folder and open Mouse2Joystick.exe AS ADMIN, always open it as administrator (it might work correctly even if you run it without administrator privileges but depending on the version of windows 10 or 11 there might be some bugs and running it as admin may fix them).

Copy my settings as you them in the image.

Next open Cemu.

Click on Options->Input settings

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Image of Input settings window.

Click on the – Icon till there are no controllers.

In the Emulated controller option choose Wii U Gamepad.

Before continuing make sure you have opened Mouse2Joystick.exe AS ADMIN.

Now click on the + Icon which is next to the – Icon.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Image of the window that appears after you click + Icon and the settings you have to select THE FIRST TIME.

Copy my settings as you see them. If you don’t see a Controller 1 option it means that you haven’t opened Mouse2Joystick, so make sure you open it AS ADMIN.

After you copy my settings click Add, then click the + Icon again.

Now copy the settings of the image below.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Image of the window that appears after you click + Icon and the settings you have to select THE SECOND TIME.

After you copy the settings click Add.

Below is the window you will see after you click Add.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Notice that the Controller that is selected is Keyboard[Keyboard]

As you can see all the key bindings are greyed out. To change the key bindings click on each greyed box and press the key you want to assign it to. Before you click anything check the image below and copy my Key Bindings since they work perfectly and it took me some time to set it up.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Make sure your Keyboard[Keyboard] key bindings look the same as mine in this image.

If you change the controller to Controller 1[XInput] by clicking Keyboard[Keyboard] and then choosing Controller 1[XInput] you will see the image below.

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Make sure your settings look the same in Controller 1[XInput], you won’t have to change anything here since you copied the keyboard settings before from me.

Don’t mess with the settings in Controller 1[XInput], if you do, you have to press – Icon again till all the controllers are clear and then create them again with the + Icon. Y and ZR as you can see aren’t greyed in Controller 1[XInput] that’s because we have already set them in Mouse2Joystick.exe

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Y is binded to the Left Mouse Button and RZ to the Right Mouse Button.
If you want to change the keybindings only change the Keyboard[Keyboard] keybindings don’t mess with Controller[XInput].

You MUST UNCHECK DISABLE MOUSE CLICKS because without it being enabled, Left-Click won’t work correctly. Also, I recommend unchecking Hide Cursor and Lock Cursor when you play games. When you uncheck something it enables it.

Now we are basically done. Two more recommendations, to change the sensitivity edit X Resistance and Y Resistance values on the Mouse2Joystick window. Also if you play BotW change the Camera sensitivity in-game to Very Fast.

  • Disable Mouse Clicks: Blocks all mouse clicks in Cemu’s window. Use this to keep the mouse from “touching” the virtual GamePad.
  • Hide Mouse: Hides the cursor while Cemu is the foreground window.
  • Lock Mouse: Forces the cursor to stay in the middle of the screen while Cemu is the foreground window.
Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – New Method
Notice Disable Mouse Clicks, Hide Cursor and Lock Cursor are unchecked, which means they are active.  Copy my settings as you see them.

Finally, you MUST open Mouse2Joystick.exe AS Admin AFTER you have already opened the game because with Disable Mouse Clicks being active you won’t be able to interact with Cemu at all.

Some games might require gyroscope/motion controls. For those games watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pp1B8S7yxI

I also recommend you to watch Cemu Complete Setup Guide:

This was the guide. Thanks for reading it, and I hope that all went well without problems. If you have faced any problems or have any questions feel free to comment below and ask.

Sifu PC Review

Sifu PC Review

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2. As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Sifu PC Review

Storyline

Sifu’s storyline isn’t something you haven’t seen before or something that will be unforgettable. It’s a storyline that gives a reason for all the fighting and the power of the protagonist. There wasn’t a point in the story that made me feel something more than any other similar story.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that the story is bad, the story is just unimportant in my opinion. You shouldn’t get this game for the story anyway since there is very little dialog and very few cutscenes. There is a board with clues that you find while exploring the different areas but the game never made me care enough to try to find every single clue.

To summarize, if you want to play a game that has an amazing story before anything else then this game isn’t for you.

Gameplay

Sifu has the best hand-to-hand combat system I have seen in a game. It’s hard because unlike other games there isn’t an indicator for when to press the dodge or counter button(like in Arkham Knight), but at the same time, it’s fair because once you get used to it you feel more rewarded when you beat a lot of people without them hitting you once.

In the game, you can also use weapons that you find in the environment or that you can steal from the enemies you fight. The weapons break from the use so you can’t use the same weapon for the entire playthrough. This is a good thing because the game forces you to think and choose what is the best weapon to use in each scenario.

You can also unlock abilities with the experience you get by beating enemies, but before I explain more about that I have to talk about the main system that the gameplay revolves around and that is the aging system. Each time you die your character ages and the more times you die fighting the same enemy the faster you age with each death. When you reach a certain age(above 70) the next time you die you lose. If you lose you have to start over from the last stage you completed or if you haven’t beaten any stages from the beginning. Basically, you have to beat the game in one lifetime of a human.

You don’t have to worry though since each time you beat a stage your progress is saved so you don’t have to start all over again when you lose. Also, you can beat a stage multiple times if you want to start the next stage with fewer deaths.

Also if you buy a certain ability 5 times before you lose then you get to keep it forever., that is a good way to keep some of the progress even after you lose.

Finally, let’s talk about the difficulty of Sifu. Sifu has a steep learning curve meaning you will die a lot at the beginning until you get used to the fighting system. Also having only one lifetime to beat the game means that you will have to replay the stages in order to beat them while remaining as young as possible.

The average time someone needs to beat the game is around 10 hours depending on how fast you learn the game.

Visuals

The art style of Sifu is something you don’t see very often and it’s rather unique in its own way. It isn’t something that will blow your mind but I personally like it and I believe it fits the general aesthetic of the game. The areas of the game are all intriguing and have their own style.

You will see some amazing areas while playing the game and I believe you will feel satisfied with your experience. As for the customization, there is none. The only thing you can decide about your character is gender and that’s it. As you age your character changes in appearance but you have no control over the changes.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, the story is ok but nothing you haven’t seen before, so don’t get this game if you absolutely want an amazing story, this isn’t that kind of game.

The main reason to get this game is the amazing and innovative gameplay it brings to the table. I haven’t seen such a smooth combat system in a while and you can tell the developers put their hearts into it.

The visuals are unique and certainly fit the aesthetic of the story and the gameplay, but there is, unfortunately, no customization for your character.

Now the final question. Is it worth 40 euros? The answer is it depends. If you are looking for a game with amazing combat and you don’t care about the story or customization then possibly and the little time it takes for the average player to beat the game then yes. If you want every single euro you spend to count then personally I would wait for sale.

Final Verdict

Storyline: 8

Gameplay: 10

Visuals: 10

General Rating: 9

That’s it for my review guys, I hope you liked it. If you liked the game leave a comment down below and tell me what you liked the most about this game. See ya in the next article.

Nioh 2 vs Mortal Shell – The Definitive Comparison

Nioh 2 vs Mortal Shell - The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Mortal Shell. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

The stories of both games are pretty mediocre and forgettable in my opinion, that being said if I had to choose between the storylines of these two games I would choose the storyline of Nioh 2.

Nioh 2 had more interesting moments in the story. I never felt anything while playing Mortal Shell and watching its story unfold.

I don’t recommend that you make a decision between these two games based on the story because for me story isn’t the main reason someone buys these types of games.

Gameplay

These two games have several differences when it comes to combat.

Nioh 2 offers a lot more depth in its combat system. It has skill trees for ninja, onmyo, and transformation skills, you have to also add the attribute system which is similar to Dark Souls, meaning that when you gather enough currency to level up you have to put a point in one of the available attributes.

Mortal Shell has the hardening system, which don’t get me wrong, is something fresh but I think it makes the game too easy since it gives the player a way to avoid all coming damage if he knows how to use it, and it doesn’t require a lot of skill to use it effectively.

Nioh 2 just offers more quantity and quality, for example, Nioh 2 has 11 different weapons and each one of them has its own skill tree and unique playstyle. Mortal Shell offers 5 different weapons but they don’t really have depth in their playstyle.

Both games offer a variety of enemies and bosses but Nioh 2’s bosses are just more interesting to fight against and they are more.

Lastly, Nioh 2 has a lot more content, more replayability (because there are many different skills and a lot more combinations to try), is more challenging, and also offers co-op with up to 2 others, while in Mortal Shell you can only play solo.

Visuals

The difference in visuals between the two games isn’t big due to the fact that they were released in the same year. Nioh 2 has better scenery in my opinion but the difference isn’t huge.

Customization is another thing to consider. Nioh 2 offers a character creation system that is detailed and you can also use it again whenever you want for the entire playthrough. Mortal Shell doesn’t have a character creation system and the players can only change “shells” in the game and each shell has different abilities so that isn’t considered customization in my opinion.

Also, Nioh 2 offers an equipment transmogrification system meaning that you are able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, when it comes to the story both games are mediocre but the story of Nioh 2 will give you some emotion I believe.

Second, Nioh 2 is far superior in every way when it comes to the gameplay and the only thing that it could do better is the way the mission system works. If Nioh 2 was semi-open world like Mortal Shell it would make the game even better.

Finally, the visuals of both games are around the same level but Nioh 2 has superior more customization options(there isn’t even a comparison).

I would strongly recommend Nioh 2 over Mortal Shell. I would recommend waiting for sale but Nioh 2 is worth the full price in my opinion.


This is it, guys. I hope you found the article informative and that I helped you decide which is the best game for you.

Write in the comments below if you agree or disagree with what I said and if you think I forgot something. See ya in the next article.

Nioh 2 vs Dark Souls Remastered – The Definitive Comparison

Nioh 2 vs Dark Souls Remastered - The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Dark Souls Remastered. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

The stories of both games are pretty mediocre and forgettable in my opinion, that being said if I had to choose between the storylines of these two games I would choose the storyline of Nioh 2.

Nioh 2 had more interesting moments in the story than Dark Souls Remastered but still, they are on the same level.

I don’t recommend that you make a decision between these two games based on the story because for me story isn’t the main reason someone buys these types of games.

Gameplay

The main differences can be seen in combat. Nioh 2 has a very deep combat system, with each weapon having each own skill tree and abilities, and there eleven different types of melee weapons. Nioh 2 also offers ranged weapons but ranged weapons don’t have skill trees.

Besides weapons in Nioh 2 you can use onmyo skills and ninja skills and each of them have their own skill tree.

Dark Souls on the other hand has more weapons to choose from but it doesn’t have skill trees with those weapons, meaning the number of things you can do with these weapons are pretty limited. I don’t think there is even a comparison here. Nioh 2 literally destroys Dark Souls when it comes to combat because even if you ignore the skill trees Nioh 2 also has stances(low, mid, and high stance) that you can use with each weapon and each stance has a different moveset and you can switch stances according to the situation you are facing.

Both games also offer a variety of enemies and bosses which are unique and interesting to fight against.

The last thing that is worth mentioning is the difficulty of these two games. Nioh 2 is a lot more challenging than Dark Souls, it has more replayability and a lot more content. I believe there is only one thing that Dark Souls does better, and that is the semi-open world element. In Nioh 2 you just pick a mission then complete it and then you return to the map to choose another mission.

Visuals

The difference in visuals between the two games is huge and that is understandable given the release dates of both games. Nioh 2 has better visuals, scenery, and in general everything about its looks is better.

Customization is another thing to consider. Nioh 2 offers a character creation system that is detailed and you can also use it again whenever you want for the entire playthrough. Dark Souls Remastered also has a character creation system but the characters you can make don’t look nearly as good as the characters you can make in Nioh 2. The difference is night and day, Nioh 2 is on a different league.

Also, Nioh 2 offers an equipment transmogrification system(Dark Souls Remastered doesn’t have something like that), meaning that you are able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, when it comes to the story both games are mediocre but the story of Nioh 2 will give you some emotion I believe.

Second, Nioh 2 is far superior in every way when it comes to the gameplay and the only thing that it could do better is the way the mission system works. If Nioh 2 was semi-open world like Dark Souls it would make the game even better.

Finally, Nioh 2 has superior visuals and its customization options are on a different league.

I would strongly recommend Nioh 2 over Dark Souls Remastered. The only real advantage Dark Souls Remastered has is the price, since it’s an older game you can get the game for a lower price but it’s still high if it’s not on sale. Nioh 2 is around 60 euros since it came out recently and I don’t see the price dropping that much on sale.


This is it, guys. I hope you found the article informative and that I helped you decide which is the best game for you.

Nioh 2 vs The Surge – The Definitive Comparison

Nioh 2 vs The Surge - The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs The Surge. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

Both games have average and forgettable storylines. The storyline of Surge even though it doesn’t have a character creation system, is nothing special and it doesn’t make you feel anything for what is going on in the game world.

Nioh 2 has a more interesting storyline compared to Surge but it still falls short.

It’s not a bad thing if you don’t care so much about the story, since they offer a lot when it comes to gameplay, but if you are one of those people that want a game to have a very good story to be able to enjoy it, then I wouldn’t recommend either game.

Gameplay

There are differences in the way you approach combat between these two games. In Surge, you have to choose one of the enemies’ body part to focus your attacks on, and before you make that choice you have to consider whether or not you want the enemies’ armor(since you have to cut the limb with the armor part you want in order to unlock that armor part) or you just want to kill the enemy fast and that means targeting a body part that isn’t armored if there is one. Besides the armor, you can also equip implants that give you different buffs and abilities.

Nioh 2 on the other hand, has three different stances available for each weapon and each weapon has its own skill tree and that gives a lot of variety when it comes to combat. Nioh 2 also has ninja and onmyo skill trees, a skill tree for the transformation(since you transform into a yokai), and a samurai skill tree. Long story short Nioh 2 has a more complex combat system than Surge, now that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better, both games are good in their own way.

Both games also offer a variety of weapons(Nioh 2 also has unique skill trees for each weapon), so if you are someone that gets bored using the same weapon over and over again you won’t have to worry.

As for the enemies, both games have a lot of different kinds of enemies and bosses for you to fight but Nioh 2 offers a lot more bosses and the bosses of Nioh 2 are more interesting and entertaining to fight against than the bosses of Surge.

Lastly, let’s talk about difficulty. Nioh 2 is a lot more challenging than Surge and a lot harder to get into since it has a lot of different things you need to learn in order to understand how to play the game properly. Additionally, Nioh 2 has a lot more content and more replayability than Surge.

Also if you are someone who wants to play with friends Nioh 2 offers co-op and you can play with up to two other players.

Visuals

Nioh 2 has a lot better visuals than Surge, but that’s understandable given the release dates of these games. The scenery they offer is nothing amazing but I still prefer the scenery of Nioh 2 over the scenery of Surge.

The important difference between these two games is the customization they offer. Nioh 2 has a far superior character creation system and you can change your character even after you start the story of the game.

Another amazing thing Nioh 2 offers is the equipment transmogrification system, meaning that you are able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats.

Surge offers little customization that doesn’t change much.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the storyline, Nioh 2 has a little better storyline but I wouldn’t recommend either game for the story.

Second, in the gameplay department, I prefer Nioh 2’s combat system, and Nioh 2 is also more challenging, has more replayability and content, better bosses and you can play co-op with friends.

As for the visuals, Nioh 2 offers a lot more customization options and has better graphics.

All in all Nioh 2 is a better game and it’s worth the full price but if you can wait for sale then I recommend you wait.


This is it, guys. I hope you found the article informative and that I helped you decide which is the best game for you.

Nioh 2 vs Jedi Fallen Order – The Definitive Comparison

Nioh 2 vs Jedi Fallen Order - The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 and Jedi Fallen Order. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

Between these two games, I have to say that the story of Jedi Fallen Order is far more intriguing and entertaining to see how it progresses as you play. The story of Nioh 2 is ok for what it is but it is nothing special. Nioh 2’s story has some good moments but overall it’s pretty forgettable.

If you are someone that cares a lot about the storyline then I recommend Jedi Fallen Order and it’s not even a close call.

Gameplay

There are differences in the way you approach combat between these two games. In Jedi Fallen Order you have only one weapon the lightsaber but you can also use force abilities(which you unlock playing the game). The combat of Jedi Fallen Order is very similar to Sekiro’s combat. You have to play aggressively and try to parry enemies when you can.

Nioh 2 has more options when it comes to combat. You have 11 different types of weapons available(each of them has its own skill tree) and you can use three different stances with these weapons depending on the situation. You can also use ninja and onmyo skills and transform into a yokai.

If you want the most variety in combat then Nioh 2 is a better choice.

As for the enemies, both games offer different types of enemies for you to face but Nioh 2 has more interesting bosses which are far more entertaining to fight than the bosses in Jedi Fallen Order.

We also have to talk about the difficulty since it’s an important factor to consider in these types of games. Nioh 2 is more challenging and has a steeper learning curve. Nioh 2 also offers a lot more content and replayability since there are a lot of different builds you can try, something that Jedi Fallen Order doesn’t offer to the same extent since you can only use one weapon and there isn’t much else for build options.

Lastly, Nioh 2 offers a co-op mode for up to three players including you, and this is something that a lot of players want in soulslike games.

Visuals

Both games have amazing graphics and I can’t really say that one game looks better than the other in terms of graphics, but what I can say is that Jedi Fallen Order has better and more beautiful scenery. I know that soulslike games are supposed to be dark and gritty but there are games like Sekiro for example that can be dark but also have beautiful scenery.

One thing that Nioh 2 does better is the customization since it has one of the best character creation systems I have seen. Nioh 2 also has an equipment transmogrification system it offers, meaning that you are able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats.

In Jedi Fallen Order you can customize the lightsaber and change the color of your clothes and ship but there isn’t much else you can do.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, if you care a lot about the story of the games you play then Jedi Fallen Order is the game for you.

Second, the gameplay of Nioh 2 has a lot more complexity. Nioh 2 also has more replayability and is more challenging.

Finally, both games have amazing graphics but Jedi Fallen Order has better scenery. As for the customization, Nioh 2 is on another level with the most customization options I have seen in a soulslike game.

I personally recommend Nioh 2 but Jedi Fallen Order is a very good game as well. If you choose Jedi Fallen Order I recommend you wait for a sale.

Nioh 2 vs Code Vein – The Definitive Comparison

Nioh 2 vs Code Vein - The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Code Vein. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

When it comes to the storyline, Code Vein has a better and more cohesive story with more interesting characters that will make you care about what happens to them. Nioh 2 also has some good moments but overall the story isn’t as interesting as the story of Code Vein.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying Code Vein’s story is perfect, but I personally found it enjoyable and I would recommend it over the story of Nioh 2.

So if you want an enjoyable story then I would pick Code Vein over Nioh 2.

Gameplay

There are differences in the way the players have to approach combat in these two games.

Code Vein’s combat is similar to Dark Souls games, while Nioh 2 offers a more complex combat system with different stances and skill trees for each weapon. The combat system in Nioh 2 is so deep that it will take hours upon hours till you try every single weapon and its skills since you unlock weapon skills by using the weapon whose skills you want to unlock.

Nioh 2 also has skill trees for ninja, onmyo, and transformation skills, you have to also add the attribute system which is similar to Dark Souls, meaning that when you gather enough currency to level up you have to put a point in one of the available attributes.

Code Vein doesn’t have an attribute system like Nioh and Dark Souls, instead, it has a class system and each class has different skills you can unlock.

Both systems are good in their own way but if I had to choose which one I prefer, I would choose the system of Nioh 2 since it is far more complex and fun once you understand how it works.

As for the enemies, both games offer a variety of enemies for you to fight and they also have entertaining bosses, though Nioh 2 has more bosses and they are a little more interesting to fight against.

Lastly, Nioh 2 is more challenging than Code Vein, has more content, and more replayability. Both games offer a co-op system, although in Nioh 2 you can play with up to 2 others, while in Code Vein you can play with only one other person.

Visuals

The graphics of these two games have a different direction so it’s hard to compare them. Code Vein goes for anime-like graphics while Nioh 2 has a more realistic graphics approach. I think both of them are equally good for what they are and it comes down to preference show I would recommend checking out gameplay and see what you prefer.

As for the visuals, both games are dark and gritty so don’t expect beautiful locations. I can’t say I prefer the scenery of one game over the other.

One great thing about these two games is the customization they offer. They have amazing character creation systems, but Nioh 2 has an advantage and that is the equipment transmogrification system it offers, meaning that you are able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats.

So when it comes to visuals overall Nioh 2 offers more because of the customization options.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the story, Code Vein is a far better choice than Nioh 2.

Second, in the gameplay department, I believe Nioh 2 is a more complex game and once you understand how its systems work you will enjoy the combat much more than Code Vein.

Lastly, both games have great visuals though they have different styles, Nioh 2 has an edge on the customization front because of the equipment transmogrification system it offers.

If you choose Code Vein I would recommend waiting for a sale, and while Nioh 2 is worth the full price personally I would wait for a sale.

Nioh 2 vs The Surge 2 – The Definitive Comparison

Nioh 2 vs The Surge 2 - The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs The Surge 2. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

Both games have forgettable storylines, although Nioh 2 has some good moments. Having a character creation system means that the main characters never speak so that takes a lot from the story and even though some games like Breath of the Wild managed to have amazing stories even without the main character speaking, the same can’t be said for these two games.

It’s not a bad thing if you don’t care so much about the story, since they offer a lot when it comes to gameplay, but if you are one of those people that want a game to have a very good story to be able to enjoy it, then I wouldn’t recommend either game.

Gameplay

There are differences in the way you approach combat between these two games. In Surge 2 you have to choose one of the enemies’ body part to focus your attacks on, and before you make that choice you have to consider whether or not you want the enemies’ armor(since you have to cut the limb with the armor part you want in order to unlock that armor part) or you just want to kill the enemy fast and that means targeting a body part that isn’t armored if there is one. Besides the armor, you can also equip implants that give you different buffs and abilities.

Nioh 2 on the other hand, has three different stances available for each weapon and each weapon has its own skill tree and that gives a lot of variety when it comes to combat. Nioh 2 also has ninja and onmyo skill trees, a skill tree for the transformation(since you transform into a yokai), and a samurai skill tree. Long story short Nioh 2 has a more complex combat system than Surge 2, now that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better, both games are good in their own way.

Both games also offer a variety of weapons(Nioh 2 also has unique skill trees for each weapon), so if you are someone that gets bored using the same weapon over and over again you won’t have to worry.

As for the enemies, both games have a lot of different kinds of enemies and bosses for you to fight but Nioh 2 offers a lot more bosses and the bosses of Nioh 2 are more interesting and entertaining to fight against than the bosses of Surge 2.

Lastly, let’s talk about difficulty. Nioh 2 is a lot more challenging than Surge 2 and a lot harder to get into since it has a lot of different things you need to learn in order to understand how to play the game properly. Additionally, Nioh 2 has a lot more content and more replayability than Surge 2.

Also if you are someone who wants to play with friends Nioh 2 offers co-op and you can play with up to two other players.

Visuals

Nioh 2 has a lot better visuals than Surge 2, but both games look good so this isn’t really a big advantage that you need to consider when deciding between these two games.

The important difference between these two games is the customization they offer. Nioh 2 has a far superior character creation system and you can change your character even after you start the story of the game.

Another amazing thing Nioh 2 offers is the equipment transmogrification system, meaning that you are able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the storyline, Nioh 2 has a little better storyline but I wouldn’t recommend either game for the story.

Second, in the gameplay department, I prefer Nioh 2’s combat system, and Nioh 2 is also more challenging, has more replayability and content, better bosses and you can play co-op with friends.

As for the visuals, Nioh 2 offers a lot more customization options and has better graphics.

All in all Nioh 2 is a better game and it’s worth the full price but if you can wait for sale then I recommend you wait.


This is it, guys. I hope you found the article informative and that I helped you decide which is the best game for you.

Eternal Return: Black Survival Review

Eternal Return: Black Survival Review

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Eternal Return: Black Survival. As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Eternal Return: Black Survival Review

Storyline

The game doesn’t really have a storyline. It has interesting characters though and each one of them has a unique personality, a few quotes and a small backstory.

The backstory and quotes give the characters you play life and makes it more entertaining when you pick one to play as.

Gameplay

Eternal Return: Black Survival is a game that combines Battle Royale, MOBA, and Survival elements. Before the game starts you pick one of the characters available to play as. There are a total of 24 characters at the moment but not all of them are unlocked.

You start with two characters unlocked and the rest you can unlock with in-game currency which you get by completing daily missions and by playing the game in general. It doesn’t require a lot of time to unlock two or three more characters and personally even though right now I can unlock 2 more characters(currently I have 4 unlocked characters in total) with the currency I have gathered, I don’t do it because I don’t feel like playing with any other characters.

Till now I have only played with one character a total of 127 games and a single game with another character. I am not a person who likes to try everything, I have a very particular taste and I stick to the characters I like and since I can literally always play the same character in every game(because there is no ban system or something that prevents a player from doing this) I don’t feel the need to get another character.

Now, let’s talk about how the game is played. Before the match begins you choose one of the areas as your starting area(the place where you will appear at the start of the game), and you can also choose one of the recommended builds for your character(these builds are rated by players and there are generally very good.

Each area has different kinds of materials available and based on your build you will have to go to a lot of different areas to find the materials needed to craft the items of your build.

As time passes, areas will become restricted(you won’t be able to access restricted areas without starting your blow-up timer) till only one area remains. Besides you, there are another 17 players in the game and your purpose is to be the last man standing.

There are many details that it’s better to learn by playing the game since this is just a review describing what the game is about and not a guide to teach you how to play the game.

Eternal Return: Black Survival is still on Early Access but it is growing fast and if this keeps up it won’t be long till it becomes the next League of Legends or Dota 2 in terms of popularity.

The game also has a ranking system similar to other MOBA and it’s challenging, so if you are the competitive type then you should give it a shot.

Besides the solo mode, there are also duo modes and squad modes where players are divided into groups of two or three respectively.

Duo and Squad modes also exist for ranked games but right now they aren’t available to all regions because the player base isn’t big enough right now to sustain them. Even solos in some regions aren’t available all the time, for example in Europe they are available only 10 hours per day at the time of writing this article.

Visuals

Visually the game is at the same level as other popular MOBA, in a few words, it’s decent. The thing I like though is that the characters have an anime-like appearance since I watch a lot of anime.

The character’s appearance is quite unique and there are also customization options through skins you can get for some of them that change their appearance in-game. As for the environment that you will play, it’s always the same stage but it’s pretty big and no game feels the same because the areas that are restricted in each game are random.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

The gameplay is very good and entertaining, and the game also has a ranking system. In this game, it is generally easy to learn the basics but it’s hard to master.

As for the visuals, they are decent but nothing special, it’s what you would expect from a MOBA. There are also skins you can purchase for some characters.

If you like this types of games then it’s certainly worth a try especially since it is absolutely free to play.

Final Verdict

Storyline:

Gameplay: 9

Visuals: 8

General Rating: 9

That’s it for my review guys, I hope you liked it. If you liked the game leave a comment down below and tell me what you liked the most about this game. See ya in the next article.
