If you want a GoW clone, can't go wrong with it. May in fact be better than half of GoW games

Okayish hack and slash games that are completely forgotten

And then on PS3 there are Afro Samurai, Golden Axe: Beast Rider and Ninja Blade that are actually kind of okay but totally forgotten

Lament of Innocence is nice but ultimately a weak translation of Castlevania into 3D. No idea what Bujingai is, never played Samurai Shamploo, Berserk for the PS2 is pretty fun, if kinda mindless.
Is Golden Axe any good? I'm a fan of the original games and I read somewhere that development was fucked up. Ninja Blade is genuine garbage.
I still need to play Rising Zan for PS1. That game was like a pre-historic Devil May Cry.

Not that user, but after playing Nioh 2, absolutely.

Much better than the reviews suggest. It's entirely based on parrying, you have two different parries for two different types of attack. Also you can fight using various mounts AND you can get knocked off of them and then your enemy can get on that mount and it becomes a little mini-boss, but you can also kick your enemy off the mount and get back on it. It's fun. I think the only reason it was review bombed by the MSM is the protagonist looks like a prostitute.

Never got into Nioh since I'm not that much into action rpg hybrids but that's cool to hear. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the worst AAA action game I've ever played so the notion that they bounced back is good news. They even mentioned NG4 a few months ago.

I really want to get into this game but despite my love of super sentai, I just find it such a chore to play through. I'm only 3 levels in and I've had the game for two years. Each stage takes forever to beat and I usually die so many times that I'm burned out if I manage to get to the next level. I'm sure this a case of "git gud" but should I really put the effort in if this game hasnt grabbed me yet.
