Just as with the first Nioh, one major omission is the lack of any sort of anti-aliasing option built into the configuration settings.
The most significant upgrade in Nioh 2's PC port is that the game now supports framerates above 60 fps, which for an action RPG, is exactly what you are looking for. So Nioh 2 doesn't offer an especially wide array of settings to choose from, which is slightly disappointing, but there are still a few decisions to make to optimize performance. There is also Nvidia Shadowplay Highlights, which captures certain gameplay moments automatically, although I opted not to use this. The config options are largely the same as the first Nioh PC's port, with the addition of options for Texture Quality and Effect Quality. All of the graphics options can be set within the game's main menus, shown down below.Ĭonfig Two kodama are sumo wrestling in the background don't mind them. Unlike the first Nioh, Nioh 2 does not have a separate launcher for any sort of configuration menu.

Nioh 2's PC version is notably better, though there are some considerations to make. Certainly playable and improved over time, but with an awkward configurations menu, lacking options for components such as anti-aliasing, and a maximum framerate of 60 FPS. The PC port of the original Nioh was merely okay. It's more of an iterative sequel, but it polishes many of the rough edges of the original while adding a few smart additions to the formula. However, if more definite issues like low enemy variety, tedious map design, or unbalanced stat progression bothered you, Nioh's sequel has improved on these aspects significantly. If you tried the original Nioh and were at all put off by the game's overall style or structure, Nioh 2 probably won't change your mind too much, as it is largely the same on a broad scale.
Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition releases for PlayStation 5 and PC this week. It's a fantastic game that landed a top-five spot in our 2020 end-of-the-year awards from its PlayStation 4 release last year. I won't go into a full detailed review here, as you can already read excellent reviews from Lucas for both the main game and its three DLCs.
