When one talks about the best samurai Soulslike game, it goes without saying that most people would mention the name Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em><\/a>. The fact of the matter is that From Software’s foray into this particular genre was nothing short of a resounding success, with Sekiro being labelled by many as another excellent title that has been added to From Software’s impressive library of modern games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, in this discussion, there’s another game that should definitely get the recognition it deserves as well\u00a0\u2014 Nioh 2<\/em><\/a>. The fact of the matter is that Nioh 2<\/em> is one of the best Soulslikes around, even though the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em><\/a> might’ve cast a shadow over this vastly unappreciated game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That being said, there are a number of Soulslikes that one might consider to be superior to Nioh 2<\/em> as well. Keeping this in mind, here are five reasons why Nioh 2<\/em> is a great Soulslike, along with five other games that perhaps do greater justice by the Soulslike moniker.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>BEST SOULSLIKE: The Environments Are Truly Brilliant<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One thing that should be definitely lauded about Nioh 2<\/em> is its brilliant environmental design, making every area a blast to explore.<\/p>\n

The impressive graphics of this game certainly show in their levels, with the particle effects of the combat making every encounter scenic in some way or the other.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>BETTER TITLE: Salt & Sanctuary<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are a ton of side-scrolling games that have emulated the Dark Souls<\/em><\/a> formula, and they’ve done so with varying degrees of effectiveness. However, Salt & Sanctuary<\/em><\/a> is a title that manages to nail all its gameplay elements to a T, making for a truly sublime experience.<\/p>\n

It is easily one of the most underrated Soulslikes around, and an absolute must-play for anyone who wants to enjoy a wholly unique experience that is still quite reminiscent of the Soulsborne<\/em> titles.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>BEST SOULSLIKE: The Boss Fights Are The Stuff Of Legends<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Nioh 2<\/em> has some of the most spectacular and intimidating boss fights around, with each encounter being nothing short of an awe-inspiring experience… that is, until the player is slammed to kingdom come by these bosses.<\/p>\n

The challenge in the game truly ramps up a notch in these situations, and players need to be on their A-game if they wish to progress past these significant hurdles.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>BETTER TITLE:\u00a0Remnant: From The Ashes<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The idea of a Soulslike third-person shooter sounds like nothing more than a gimmick, but Gunfire Games managed to use an idea that sounded okay on paper and turned it into a must-play experience for anyone who wishes to enjoy challenging gameplay.<\/p>\n

Remnant: From The Ashes<\/em><\/a> is easily one of the best Soulslikes, and any player who wants to experience how a tough third-person shooter would play like should definitely try this game out.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>BEST SOULSLIKE: Managing The Ki Pulse Makes Combat All The More Engaging<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the more unique mechanics that the Nioh<\/em><\/a> series brings to the table is the Ki Pulse, which allows players to instantly gain their ki\u00a0\u2014 Nioh<\/em>‘s version of stamina\u00a0\u2014 and quickly unleash a flurry of attacks.<\/p>\n

This new mechanic adds a ton of depth and complexity to Nioh’s combat, almost turning fights into a rhythm game of sorts as players press keys in a fixed pattern to maximize their damage.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>BETTER TITLE: The Surge 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The story of The Surge 2<\/em> is similar to that of Nioh 2<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 the first game was a decent enough title in its own right, but it’s the sequel that improves upon everything to a vast extent and makes for a highly enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n

The Surge 2<\/em> is easily one of the best sci-fi Soulslikes out there, and players who need something to scratch that Soulsborne<\/em> itch should definitely try this game out.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>BEST SOULSLIKE: The Loot System Is Actually Quite Addictive<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The idea of randomly-generated loot might not sit well with some fans, but the fact of the matter is that Nioh 2<\/em> pulls off this system beautifully, allowing for an experience that is certainly quite entertaining in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n

Getting rare loot is always a cathartic experience in Nioh 2<\/em> and almost makes the massive number of deaths that the player has to deal with worth it… somewhat.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>BETTER TITLE: Hollow Knight<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hollow Knight<\/em><\/a> is possible one of the greatest games ever made, which by itself makes it a must-play for anyone who wishes to enjoy the very best-in-class when it comes to Metroidvania Soulslikes.<\/p>\n

For a game that seems bleak from the outset, Hollow Knight<\/em> positively oozes with charm at every step of the way and is definitely one game that everyone even remotely invested in the Soulsborne<\/em> genre should check out.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>BEST SOULSLIKE: The Depth Of Nioh 2’s Systems Are A Marvel To Behold<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

1 <\/span>BETTER TITLE:\u00a0Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While it might be an easy move to add a From Software game to this list, there’s no denying the sheer quality of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em><\/a>.
