Nioh 2: The Complete Edition, or Nioh 2, is an action RPG developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo.
Nioh 2 serves as both a prequel and a sequel to the first game, with some key differences from its predecessor. These include a character creator, as opposed a predefined protagonist as seen previously, and the addition of yōkai forms and abilities.[1] It also sees the return of cooperative multiplayer with the new addition of summoning other player's characters as AI-controlled allies.[2]
The game released on February 5, 2021 and is available from the Steam platform. The PC version was announced via the game's official Twitter account in November 2020, and detailed features such as full keyboard and mouse support, HDR, ultra widescreen display and high frame rate support. All of the downloadable content available for the original console release is included, alongside the PC-exclusive "Valve Helmet" armor piece.[3]
Reviews around the game's release date praised the quality of the game's conversion to PC, however, there was criticism relating to instances of poor performance of particle rendering, and little improvement in graphical fidelity over the original console release of the game.[4][5]
The developers have indicated that future updates for the game will include keyboard and mouse button prompts and Nvidia's DLSS technology.[6]

- Editing the configuration file to set the cap higher than 120 causes the graphics settings to reset to their default values even when set to read-only.

- This can be an issue on older GPUs since the game is heavy on them, especially when lots of effects are on screen. A good testing area is the fight with the Gozuki early into the game since a few of its attacks cause frame rate to plummet in my testing on a GTX 1070.

- No discernible visual quality loss is observed, but brings a frame rate that is much more stable. Test runs were conducted using the Gozuki enemy in the first level of the game, which on High could drop my frame rate by up to 35 FPS during some particle heavy attacks, but was not an issue when set to Low. Similarly, praying at a shrine was also used as a consistent test due to the effects present.
