The Dark Souls series most famously took these tropes, even from its beginnings with the Kings Field series, to build a genre all its own of hard-as-nails action RPGs that punish the player for failing to exercise caution. Even clones of the series such as Salt and Sanctuary or Lords of the Fallen have returned to the same European settings that we’ve been subject to for too long. Team Ninja’s samurai epic, Nioh, moves to change that scenario by taking the player deeper into the Far East where dragons and knights have been replaced with more vicious samurai and yokai.","https:\u002F\u002Fwccftech.com\u002Freview\u002Fnioh-review-a-samurai-epic-with-souls\u002F","9.5\u002F10",95,{"id":311,"author":312,"outlet":315,"summary":320,"review_url":321,"review_date":322,"original_score":323,"normalized_score":324},138655,{"id":313,"name":314},11522,"Jacob Yancey",{"id":316,"logo":317,"name":318,"website_url":319,"score_format":49},146,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fkeengamer-logo.png","KeenGamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.keengamer.com\u002F","While I don't believe Nioh deserves all of the perfect scores it's getting, I still find it to be a fun, interesting, and hard as hell game that no fan of the souls-like sub-genre should miss out on.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.keengamer.com\u002Farticles\u002Freviews\u002Fnioh-review-ps4\u002F","2017-02-18","8.5",85,{"id":326,"author":327,"outlet":330,"summary":335,"review_url":336,"review_date":337,"original_score":338,"normalized_score":339},99694,{"id":328,"name":329},8921,"A.J.
