Nioh reviews round-up, all the scores

It's time to find out how many reviewers will compare Nioh to Dark Souls.

Nioh, Team Ninja's long in-development action RPG, is about to release. The game has seen drastic changes during its development, but what we ended up with is a pretty special mix of key elements from the Soulsborne games and Ninja Gaiden.

Nioh has had three public demos, and each one took on feedback from the one prior to make the game better. The community generally has good things to say about it, so it's now time to get the critics' take.

Don't expect to see many scores today, as the press only recently received code. As ever, scores will be out of ten unless where noted.

IGN – provisional 9
Destructoid – 9
USgamer – 4/5
Game Informer – 9
Attack of the Fanboy – 4.5/5
Eurogamer – Recommended
Stevivor – 8
Insidegames – 83/100

Nioh is out February 7 in North America, and February 8 in Europe on PS4.
