  All in all, Nioh 2: The Tengu's Disciple is a solid piece of DLC. It doesn't break the mold, and it doesn't offer much that's new. What it does offer is more of the enjoyable gameplay that made Nioh 2 so fun. The new weapon is a nice bonus, even if it isn't for every player, and there's about 9-10 hours of content here. It's only for Nioh die-hards, but at $10, it's easily worth the price.

  As a stand-alone experience, The Tengu’s Disciple is a bit on the short end and there’s not much to the story at all, but it does provide some of the best boss battles to date. If the rest of the upcoming DLC provides the same level of gameplay and showdown quality as this chapter does, then Nioh 2 is going to have some incredible longevity going forward.

  The Tengu's Disciple is more of the same and that's largely okay. The historical figures and all-new yokai are memorable, the two main missions have good pacing, and the Splitstaff is just plain cool to wield. That said, I can't help but wish the story left a stronger impression – it ends a bit too abruptly. Assuming Nioh 2 has a similar DLC trajectory as Nioh 1, I don't expect to put this game down in 2020.

  The Tengu's Disciple is a great addition to Nioh 2. It was great to go back and play through some of the original game locations before the protagonist William made his way through Yokai-infested Japan. The Splitstaff adds a great new weapon to master and some of the fresh enemies provide a great new challenge. Unfortunately, some hurdles the expansion puts in front of you feel incredibly unfair even for Nioh's standards.

  The Tengu’s Disciple añade lo suficiente, pero puedo ver fácilmente que algunos jugadores podrían quedar insatisfechos al tratarse de una primera parte de una trilogía. Dicho esto, considero que los fans de Nioh 2 ciertamente deberían darle una oportunidad a la expansión, y más si su objetivo es convertir a su protagonista en el ser más fuerte de todos.

  Si jugasteis a los DLC del primer Nioh, sabéis de sobra lo que vais a encontrar en el Discípulo del tengu: un contenido descargable especialmente pensado para los jugadores que buscan exprimir al máximo el juego de Team Ninja. Aunque, por ese precio, es difícil decirle que no a la cacería de yokais...
