From Software really killed "pure action" hack n' slash games, damn. I'm only now going through Nioh 1 and the game has some really hard bosses right from the start, Hino-enma is maybe the third boss in this one and took me almost 40 tries to kill her, and that's after watching a bunch of videos of how to kill her.

I've been thinking it but only now i've been telling people: it's impossible to go back to simple DMC-type games where all you do is button mash and the only time you need to worry about dodging is during boss fights.
Such a shame they won't make Ninja Gaiden 4 into a Nioh-type game (i'm not gonna say soulslike, it really feels like it's own thing to me), the combat is far more engaging than the combat in Sigma 1/2 or Razor's Edge, plus the Ryu's mobility in those games would make the boss fights much more fun.

On a side note: fuck Koei Tecmo for not giving us a decent way of playing Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, both games on the master collection are barebones as FUCK. I get all excited for Gaiden 2 Black and... ok, it's just Sigma 2, fuck it.
