Way back in 2016, I downloaded and played the first Nioh public alpha. Team Ninja, the veteran action game developers behind Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, working on a game that took inspiration from Dark Souls, was too much of a perfect idea to ignore. Within 10 minutes of playing that alpha – which was so bastard hard the devs had to tune down the difficulty for the next demo, and consequently the full release – I knew something to be true: I would get the Platinum trophy in this game.
