A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Overall, I find Nioh to give you far more tools than the usual Souls game, but also not demand as much mastery of them. There's still some punishing mechanics (the only game that I've enjoyed doing the Exp recover after dying was Lies of P) and obtuse stats (even more when you consider the loot piñatas), but its still a game where I can go "All right, I don't want to deal with this" and use the Yokai transformation to melt a boss' HP.
Of course, at the end of the day, to each its own, so if Souls+Diablo gameplay doesn't sound appealing to you, its an easy skip.
Alright, thank you so much! I will keep it in mind and maybe tentatively wishlist them for a deep sale!
