Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. 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 storylines of both games are pretty average and forgettable, but if you want my personal opinion on which of the games’ storylines I prefer I would say that Nioh 2 has a somewhat better storyline because there were moments where I actually felt something from the story.

I wouldn’t recommend picking either game for the story. The reason for someone to buy either of these two games is the gameplay and I will talk about that in the next section.

Gameplay

The gameplay of these two games has a lot of differences when it comes to combat. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a straightforward combat system without a lot of versatility. The best thing about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin’s combat system is the dual-wielding.

The dual-wielding of that game is innovative and the best dual-wielding system implemented in the franchise. Nioh 2 on the other hand has a more versatile combat system with a lot of depth to it that you don’t see often in soulslike games. Each type of weapon(except for ranged weapons) in Nioh 2 has its own skill tree and also three different movesets based on the stance the player uses(high, mid, low).

In Nioh 2 besides weapons you can also use ninja and onmyo skills which are very distinct from one another and offer a lot of different ways to approach a fight.

As for the enemies, both games offer a variety of enemies and bosses for the players to fight and they are equally entertaining to fight against.

One of the important things when it comes to these types of games, what players want is a challenge, and it’s important to know which of the two games is more challenging.

The answer is not that simple, unfortunately. Nioh 2 surely offers a lot more challenge in ng+ playthroughs but on the first playthrough, the answer isn’t clear. If you haven’t played the first Nioh then Nioh 2 can be very challenging because there are many things you need to learn like which skills are good, which are bad, where to distribute stat points etc. Once you understand how the game is played, then the first playthrough of Nioh 2 is as challenging as the first playthrough in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

Also, Nioh 2 beats Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin when it comes to replayability. Lastly, in both games, you can play co-op with friends but only in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin you can play pvp.

Visuals

The difference in visuals between the two games is significant which is understandable if you consider the release date of these two games. As for scenery, both games offer a variety of locations for the players to traverse, but I believe Dark Souls 2 has a somewhat better scenery.

The real difference is the customization both games offer. 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 2: Scholar of the First Sin 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 2: Scholar of the First Sin 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.

When it comes to the storyline Nioh 2 has a somewhat more interesting story but both games stories are nothing great.

As for the gameplay, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a more traditional combat system while Nioh 2 has more depth to its combat system. Nioh 2 is equally challenging(if you have played the first Nioh) with Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin on the first playthrough but after the first playthrough Nioh 2 is a lot more challenging.

Visually Nioh 2 looks better but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more interesting scenery. As for the customization, Nioh 2 wins easily since it has a lot of customization options an amazing character creation system, and an equipment transmogrification system.

If you pick Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin I recommend waiting for sale since I don’t believe it’s worth the full price.

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

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. 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

I believe there isn’t even a debate when it comes to the storyline. Sekiro has a far superior storyline with characters that will make you care about them to some degree and an interesting plot. Sekiro also offers four different endings based on the choices you made during your playthrough.

Nioh 2 on the other hand, has an average story with some good moments and you maybe feel something at some point but it has nothing compared to Sekiro. The story of Nioh 2 is forgettable and nothing that will have you invested in the plot.

If you are a person who wants a game to have a good story then Sekiro is the better choice in this case.

Gameplay

There are a lot of differences in the gameplay between these two games. Nioh 2 follows a more traditional RPG approach, meaning it has 8 core stats and when the players have enough amrita to level up they choose a stat to put points in. Besides the core stats, Nioh 2 also has weapon skill trees, a ninja skill tree, an onmyo skill tree, a samurai skill tree, and a shiftling skills tree.

In Seriro on the other hand, you can only unlock skills to use in combat and increase your attack damage. There are also shinobi tool abilities but personally, I didn’t use shinobi tools a lot during my playthroughs. Having a limited number of uses makes shinobi tools unreliable.

Combat between those two games has some similarities because both games encourage offensive playstyle and breaking the opponents’ posture in Sekiro or doing damage to the opponents’ Ki bar in Nioh 2.

Nioh 2 offers 11 different weapon types while Sekiro offers only one(a katana), so if you want a lot of options then Nioh 2 is a better choice for you.

Both games offer a variety of enemies and bosses for the players to fight although Nioh 2 has more bosses.

Lastly, Sekiro is more challenging than Nioh 2 on the first playthrough and I can’t really compare them after that because I haven’t played the ng+ of Nioh 2. As for the replayability, Nioh 2 has a lot more since there are a lot of different builds you can try, while in Sekiro

One bonus of Nioh 2 that Sekiro doesn’t have is co-op. Playing with friends is something a lot of players want in these types of games and Nioh 2 offers that.

Visuals

Both games have great visuals, and I think they are on the same level more or less. The important difference is the scenery. Sekiro has more unique and beautiful locations for the players to traverse.

Just as Sekiro wins when it comes to the areas, Nioh 2 wins in customization. There isn’t even a comparison. Sekiro only has four outfits for the players to choose from and you have to unlock them. Nioh 2 has a detailed characters creation system which is one of the best ones I have seen and a also 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.

An additional benefit of Nioh 2 is that you can return to the character creation whenever you want even after you started the game, so you aren’t trapped with the character you made originally which is great.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First when it comes to the story Sekiro is the only choice, there isn’t even a debate.

Second, both games have amazing gameplay, Sekiro is more challenging on the first playthrough, Nioh 2 has more content, and Nioh 2 also has more replayability.

Lastly, both games have amazing visuals, though Sekiro has more interesting areas. Nioh 2 offers a ton of customization options while Sekiro has almost no customization.

Whichever game you pick between these two I don’t believe that you will be disappointed. Even at full price, both games are worth it.

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

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Dark Souls 3. 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.

The reason why I prefer the storyline of Nioh 2 is that there were a few moments that I actually felt something from the cutscenes. This thing never happened with Dark Souls 3.

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

There are differences between the gameplay of both games. 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 3 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 3 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 3, it has more replayability and a lot more content. I believe there is only one thing that Dark Souls 3 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 noticeable. Nioh 2 has better visuals, which is understandable given the release dates of both games. As for scenery, both games offer a variety of locations for the players to traverse.

The real difference is the customization both games offer. 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 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 any day of the week. The only real advantage Dark Souls 3 has is the price, since it’s an older game you can get the game and all its DLCs for around 20 euros on a sale. Nioh 2 is around 60 euros since it came out recently and I don’t see the price dropping that much on sale. So if you don’t want to spend a lot of money you can pick Dark Souls 3 since it is a good game and you will surely enjoy it.

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

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh 2 vs Nioh. 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 aren’t something great. They have a few good moments but that’s it. If I had to choose though, I think the story of Nioh 2 is a little better. There were scenes where a felt something so I prefer the story of Nioh 2 compared to the first Nioh.

Now, having said that, I don’t believe the story should be one of the major factors that you should consider when choosing between these two games. The storyline isn’t the reason why people buy these types of games, although it is important for a game to have a good story.

Gameplay

Gameplay-wise Nioh 2 has everything the first Nioh had plus more and some changes to a few mechanics from the first game.

Nioh 2 offers a lot more weapons for the players to choose from, it has a new system that uses Anima(a bar under HP and Ki that increases when you attack enemies) which allows you to use Yokai Abilities that you can unlock by killing yokai and collecting Soul Cores from them.

Nioh 2 in general is just a better version of the first game but I believe you have to have played the first Nioh to truly appreciate the changes.

Both games offer a lot of variety when it comes to enemies, though Nioh 2 has more enemy types and more bosses, and some of the bosses in Nioh 2 are from the first game although they are just a bonus, meaning that the game already has as many original bosses that the first Nioh had and a few of the old bosses from the first game.

Finally, both games are equally challenging in my opinion, but when it comes to content, Nioh 2 offers more content and more replayability since it has more weapons and a whole new system(the Anima) that you can use to try unique builds.

Visuals

Both games have great visuals, but Nioh 2 looks better which is natural since it’s the most recent game. The difference in visuals isn’t that big and the areas look similar in style so there isn’t a significant difference when you play the game.

The real difference is the customization both games offer. The first Nioh didn’t have a character creation system and Nioh 2 offers a character creation system that is detailed and you can also use it again whenever you want for the entire playthrough.

Also, Nioh 2 offers a lot(if not all) of the outfits of the first game and new ones. Additionally, both games offer 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, the stories of both games are pretty mediocre and forgettable though Nioh 2 has a slightly better story.

Second, the gameplay of Nioh 2 is better than the gameplay of the first Nioh since it offers more weapons to choose from, new systems that didn’t exist in the first game, and more content.

Third, the visuals of Nioh 2 are better than the visuals of the first Nioh though the difference isn’t enough to matter. Lastly, Nioh 2 offers a lot more customization.

Personally, I would recommend you get both games at some point since they are both good. I believe you should wait for a sale and buy the first Nioh and then wait for another sale to buy the second. If you like these types of games then playing the first Nioh before Nioh 2 is recommended because I think you won’t enjoy the first Nioh game as much after you play Nioh 2 since it has fewer systems.

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

Hi guys! Today I will talk about The Surge 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

When it comes to the storyline the best choice is The Surge since it is more of a character-driven story than the story of Surge 2 is. Surge 2 chose to allow the players to create their own character and that for me severely impacted the story since it felt like the story had no life.

Now, this doesn’t mean the story of the first Surge game is great. Its story is far from great but the fact that it is better than the story of Surge 2 for me is undeniable.

So if you want the game with the better story then I recommend the first Surge.

Gameplay

The gameplay of these two games is very similar though Surge 2 is definitely a step up in every regard. The combat is smoother, the UI is cleaner and generally, everything is an improvement when it comes to the gameplay.

Both games offer a variety of weapons for the player to use and a variety of enemies to face. Even though there are a lot of improvements I can’t really say that the overall experience felt all that better from the first game.

Overall while playing Surge 2 I felt like I played a somewhat improved version of the first game but I didn’t see an actual innovation in Surge 2 compared to the first game. It was more of the same, which is fine and all but I would like to have seen more. For example, the bosses you had to face in both games weren’t so interesting and needed a lot of improvement.

The bosses I saw in the first Surge were far from interesting and not challenging at all. There was some improvement in Surge 2 but they still weren’t as interesting as the bosses you would see in a Dark Souls game.

Both games have around the same level of challenge and around the same hours of content available. None of these games offer co-op or PVP modes.

Visuals

The visuals are an important aspect of a game to consider before making a choice and between these two games Surge, 2 has better visuals. Although Surge 2 has better visuals the difference isn’t big enough for the visuals to matter in the decision-making process.

Of course if you struggle to choose and you want to nitpick then you can consider them, its your choice after all.

The level design isn’t much different in these two games and I don’t believe it’s worth comparing since both games felt the same level design-wise.

As for the customization, besides the limited option in character creation which for me made it not worth having in the first place, the rest is the same. You can equip different armor sets and weapons and change clothes, nothing worth mentioning here.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the story, the best choice is the first Surge since I believe it had a more interesting story.

In the gameplay department Surge 2 wins since it is better in almost every aspect.

Lastly, Surge 2 has better visuals though there isn’t a very significant difference.

Whichever game you choose I recommend waiting for 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.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin 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

When it comes to the storyline, Jedi Fallen Order is the best choice by far. It offers an amazing story with interesting characters and makes you care about them.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a plot-driven story like all the other Dark Souls games and as I said I am not a fan of plot-driven stories since very rarely they manage to keep my attention. You might prefer this kind of storytelling and if you do then that’s great.

So for me, if you want an amazing story I would 100% recommend Jedi Fallen Order but if you prefer plot-driven stories then Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is also a very good choice.

Gameplay

The combat style of these two games is quite different. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has the combat you would expect from Dark Souls game, meaning you attack, you dodge and you throw a parry here and there. Jedi Fallen Order on the other hand has a combat system like the one you find in Sekiro, meaning that parrying is encouraged and it’s the most optimal way to play the game.

Of course, there are some additional things these games have when it comes to combat. One of those things is the dual-wielding system you can find in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin which in my opinion is the best dual-wielding system in the Dark Souls franchise.

Jedi Fallen Order on the other hand has force powers that you can use which for me are the highlight of the game.

Another difference between these two games is the number of weapons you can use. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers a lot of different weapons for you to choose from, on the other hand, Jedi Fallen Order only offers one, which is the lightsaber. The lightsaber can be transformed into a double-bladed lightsaber but that is as far as it goes.

Having more weapon options doesn’t make a game better. It all comes down to you the player and what do you prefer.

As for the enemies that you will face, both games offer a variety of enemies but when it comes to bosses Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin easily(at least for me).

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers more bosses, and they are more interesting to fight against than the bosses of Jedi Fallen Order.

The difficulty is another thing to consider. For me Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is a little more challenging than Jedi Fallen Order. Also Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more replayability since it has a lot of different classes and builds you can try, and I can’t say this for Jedi Fallen Order.

Lastly Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers co-op and PVP modes so if you care about playing the game with or against other people then this is an important thing for you to consider.

Visuals

Visually these games are night and day. There isn’t even a comparison to make when it comes to graphics. Jedi Fallen Order is just on a different league and that’s understandable since it came 3 years after Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. Also, Dark Souls games were never really known for having amazing graphics.

The environment and locations you visit in Jedi Fallen Order are breathtaking. I don’t think I have played a game that better looking than Jedi Fallen Order.

As for the customization, I’d say Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a small edge because it has a character creation system but Jedi Fallen Order also offers customization on your lightsaber, clothes, spaceship, and more.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First when it comes to story, I recommend Jedi Fallen Order unless you prefer plot-driven stories.

Gameplay-wise, both games are around the same level when it comes to combat(for different reasons), but Dark Souls 2 offers more replayability, better bosses, multiplayer modes, and is more challenging.

When it comes to visuals Jedi Fallen Order is on a different league and there is no choice here.

Whichever game you choose I recommend waiting for 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.
