  Nioh 2: Darkness in the Capital is a solid and enjoyable DLC. It doesn't really break the mold but offers a healthy helping of new Nioh 2 gameplay. The somewhat forgettable stage design is strongly bolstered by some amazing boss fights and the new Fist weapon set. It's a great way to further extend the absurd amount of content in Nioh 2 and its DLC. Starting a new game with the Fist weapon set would be a great way to revisit the title.

  Even if the story doesn't hit as hard this time around and the stakes, in general, can feel weirdly low (due in part to the self-contained time-hopping conceit), I can't deny it: Darkness in the Capital is fun as hell. I didn't expect to want to completely redo my build after falling in love with the Fists, but here I am.

  Another great addition to an already excellent game. The Darkness in the Capital DLC is packed with great content that not only expands the lore of the Nioh franchise but provides some excellent boss battles, level design, and easily the best weapon in the entire franchise. It's also pretty great to fight an ancestor of one of gaming's most iconic characters as a fun easter egg.

  Family is an exceptional narrative-based puzzle game which successfully encourages players to make their own logical conclusions using the information available on screen. If you consider yourself an indie music fan, I can’t recommend Family enough.

  Nioh 2 : Ténèbres dans la capitale vient ajouter trois missions principales, plus du double de missions secondaires et une nouvelle arme, redoutable, le poing à griffes. Ce sera aussi l'occasion de croiser de nouveaux monstres plutôt spectaculaires, pour un challenge toujours plus élevé.

  Nioh 2: Oscurità nella Capitale rappresenta un secondo pacchetto certamente riuscito, ancora denso di nuovi contenuti e che giustifica il suo prezzo non eccessivo. Al costo di una pizza (di quelle ben farcite) avrete a disposizione dieci missioni, una nuova arma, una nuova meccanica e un nuovo NG+: poteva certamente andar peggio.
