Nioh 3 and Nioh 2 - sh.itjust.works

What are your thoughts on jumping right into Nioh 3 for those that have played it? I’ve played through Nioh 1 and I already own Nioh 2, got them on sale when I heard Nioh 3 was coming out. So knowing that I already own Nioh 2 what are your thoughts on play order? I assume the stories don’t really interconnect enough to matter like most souls games but I know sometimes it’s harder to go back to the old games. I bought both games with the plan to play through them sometime before 3 came out. I made it through 1 and got distracted with other things. Now that Nioh 3 has been out a while I’m tempted to just jump in and come back to 2 later. Nioh 1 was a fairly long game too and I assume 2 and 3 won’t be any shorter. But since I already own Nioh 2 do you all think I’m better off playing through it first before I play 3? Even if it’s just because going back to the older game will be hard because of advancements in Nioh 3.

I’d say play Nioh 2 first. You already own it and in my opinion so far it’s the better game and also performs a lot better. A big thing i like about Nioh in general is the size of the toolbox you get to fight encounters and that one is a bit smaller in nioh 2 (while still massive compared to most other games) so if you play 3 first and actually use the full toolbox you might miss some of it in 2. But also most people i see play the games never use the full toolbox. In 2 for example you can switch between weapons during a ki pulse to do an attack. I’ve rarely used that but i did eventually. In 3 you can still do that but you can also switch between samurai and ninja style and now i keep forgetting to switch between weapons and instead only switch styles
