A new wave of dialogue circles around Khazan as players express mixed feelings about its combat system. Some describe it as tedious and formulaic, compelling them to revisit Nioh 2 rather than continue the grind.
Many players find the early hours of Khazan repetitive, with some commenting on the overwhelming complexity of its boss fights. A user stated, "The bosses are a slog at first, health is just so high." This perception has sparked discussions on game pacing and engagement.
Those sharing their experiences highlight several themes:
Combat Fluidity:
Players are divided over the gameโs combat dynamics. One remarked, "Combat is more of a fluid dance and just better" in comparison to Nioh.
Upskilling vs. Enjoyment:
"Just donโt expect Nioh," a comment noted, suggesting that adapting to Khazan requires patience and practice.
Gameplay Variety:
While some enjoy the variety, others feel it has limitations, with one stating: "Khazan is fun but itโs more of a one and done."
The mood among players shows a mix of appreciation and frustration. Some express that the game does improve with time, prompting a need for perseverance.
"It starts about the same as Nioh, gets pretty insane later if you are careful on how you set up your combo" โ a user highlighted the game's potential.
