5/1/2023 0 Comments Nioh 2 review![]() But Nioh 2 doesn't even have a manual toggle to let you display keyboard/mouse prompts. Touch the controller and you get controller buttons touch the keyboard, and the A button turns into the Spacebar. Many games today can smoothly switch between keyboard and controller prompts based on the last input they've received. In the preview build I played Nioh 2 does have M/KB bindings and the option to rebind keys… but it only shows PS4 button prompts in-game, which is pretty jarring. Nioh 2 currently falls short with its mouse and keyboard support, but Koei Tecmo's PR has told me that the issues I've run into should be fixed before release. But both Nioh games have been criticized for having way too much loot, so it's a pleasant surprise to see so many options here devoted to making it a bit less obnoxious. It's ridiculously detailed, and I think most players will just ignore these options. You can turn off notifications for receiving trash-tier loot and change individual font sizes. There's a whole other settings menu for a specific save file where you can tweak things like pressing or holding a button to make a selection and what color each tier of loot is. It's an uncommon choice, and a welcome one. ![]() Head to the basic game settings menu and you get five pages of options, including what stats are displayed, how many icons you can have on-screen at once, how lock-on works, and whether the game mutes when you Alt-Tab out. Outside the sparse graphics settings menu, Nioh 2 is bursting with options. Ultrawide and DLSS especially will be great options to have, so I hope they're working smoothly by February 5th. The game is brutal, the camera kind of sucks, and a lot of the enemies. Nioh 2's developers have noted that a couple other options either aren't displaying yet, or aren't working properly in this preview build: Nvidia DLSS, HDR, and ultrawide resolution support. As great as it is frustrating, Nioh 2 will resonate more with people who like the thrill of constantly dying suddenly. Weirdly, despite having it on and getting notifications that it had recorded clips, they don't seem to be in my GeForce Experience library. ![]() Turn this on, and Nioh 2 will automatically capture short video clips for you at certain moments. There is one unique feature here, which is support for Nvidia ShadowPlay Highlights. But the PS4 Pro offered an unlocked framerate mode that fluctuated from 30-60 fps or so-I don't know why an unlocked option isn't available on PC. Normally I'd assume that this is a limitation of how Nioh 2 was programmed, with certain aspects of the game, like animations, tied to the framerate. The framerate cap doesn't have an unlocked option, only 30/60/120. (Image credit: Koei Tecmo) (opens in new tab)
