Nioh 3 – PlayStation 5

Nioh 3 brings Team Ninja’s challenging samurai action back to PlayStation 5, published by Koei Tecmo. This entry tells an original story woven from Japanese culture, history, and mythology, rather than continuing directly from earlier games in the series.

What Is Nioh 3?

Players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next Shogun during Japan’s turbulent Sengoku period. In fact, when his brother Kunimatsu leads a yokai assault fueled by a sinister force, Takechiyo is guided by his guardian spirit Kusanagi to transcend time and fight to survive.

Key Features and Combat

Players can switch seamlessly between Samurai Style, offering intense face-to-face confrontations, and Ninja Style, built around speed, evasion, and aerial attacks. In addition, Team Ninja introduces an open-field approach for the first time in the series, replacing traditional mission-based levels with larger zones for exploration and tactical play.

Time-Hopping Story and Co-op

The story takes players through different eras of Japan, introducing historical figures and varied enemy types along the way. Players can summon a Benevolent Grave for NPC support, or team up with others through online co-op for up to three players. Since the game lacks crossplay, however, co-op sessions require friends to play on the same platform.

Who Should Buy This Game?

This title suits fans of challenging, Souls-like action RPGs, especially longtime Nioh players looking for expanded exploration and dual combat styles. It also appeals to players drawn to Japanese history and mythology woven into demanding combat encounters.
