About

Nioh, released in 2017, is an action RPG that immerses players in a beautifully crafted, war-torn Japan. You take on the role of William, a blonde-haired swordsman skilled in combat, as you navigate a world overrun by terrifying Yokai demons. The game is notable for its fast-paced, precise combat mechanics, rich lore, and challenging difficulty, drawing heavily on Japanese history and folklore.

In terms of PC performance, Nioh is relatively accessible, though it does require a solid setup to run smoothly at higher graphics settings. To achieve respectable FPS, an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 9212 is recommended, alongside a CPU with a score of approximately 8237 and at least 16 GB of RAM. Players looking for optimal performance should consider mid-range GPUs like the NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580, which can handle the game well while delivering consistent frame rates.

With a rating of 80/100, Nioh is a compelling experience for fans of action RPGs and those who enjoy a challenging gameplay environment. If you're drawn to intricate combat systems and rich narratives, this game is definitely worth playing, especially if you meet the recommended specs for an optimal experience.

Performance profile

February 2017 release. Nioh was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Nioh. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
