Critic Reviews
- Nioh 3 is a fantastic leap forward for Team Ninja’s generally great but increasingly stagnant take on Soulslikes. I had to stop myself from seeking out the next awesome hidden boss or from learning a cool new weapon to see credits to write this review, and the experience largely manages to maintain its excitement throughout its lengthy runtime. Nioh 3’s hardships are many, and failure is plentiful, but its thrills are bigger and more impressive than ever before.
Marcus Stewart · Feb 16, 2026 Reviewed on PS5 - With compelling new additions and refinements to its already excellent combat, Nioh 3 sees Team Ninja return to the series at the very top of its game.
Richard Wakeling · Feb 06, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - One of the best Soulslike games ever made is also distinctly different to Dark Souls and its cousins, although there are some obvious similarities to Elden Ring.
· Feb 06, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Nioh 3 is an excellent entry to the franchise that changes things up significantly while still managing to feel like the games that came before it.
· Feb 05, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Nioh 3 delivers best-in-class combat that revitalizes the established formula with a fantastic split between Samurai and Ninja styles, as well as a triumphant move to an open-world structure.
Mitchell Saltzman · Feb 04, 2026 Reviewed on PC, PS5Read full review - Nioh 3 takes all the best bits from Team Ninja’s previous efforts to form its greatest action experience in a very long time. Its new open zone maps provide more ways than ever to engage with its sublime, intense combat system — even if the activities themselves are entirely unoriginal. This is a familiar feeling title for a fanbase that knows what it wants, for few franchises do hardcore action better. Nioh 3 is its latest triumph.
Liam Croft · Feb 04, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - A triumphant evolution of the series for existing fans, and the best possible jumping-on point (though far from an easy one) for new ones. Nioh 3 demands care, planning, and patience – and gives immense satisfaction in the form of a brutal but engrossing adventure in return.
Luke Kemp · Feb 04, 2026 Reviewed on PC, PS5Read full review - Nioh 3 has nothing to offer that hasn’t already been put out by other, better soulslikes. Outside of the occasional interesting boss fight, I found nothing but tedium in Nioh 3’s bland and deeply unengaging world.
· Feb 04, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I absolutely adore Nioh 3. It's one of the best Soulslikes I've played in ages, quite possibly since Elden Ring itself, and while it's not as large (thankfully), the way it breaks everything down and gives you endless flexibility means that it's just fun to play.
Jason Coles · Feb 04, 2026 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Nioh 3 is the latest, biggest and most ambitious game in the series of demanding and complex action games set in early Japan.
