It was only last week Nioh 3 received its first major post-launch patch, fixing progress halting bugs, crashes, and tweaking the health of some enemies. It also fixed the friend searching mechanic, which stopped working after a while. All in all, the game is in a decent state now with its rougher edges smoothed off.

If you've not picked up Nioh 3 yet, you can read Eurogamer's review! In it, Dom Peppiatt wrote: "Innovation is the ki to success for Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo, as Nioh 3 iterates on the formula once more to take an already great 'masocore' series to new heights."
