I love Nioh. I was one of the few constantly praising it on the board whenever I got the opportunity. Which is exactly why Nioh 2 was one of the most disappointing games of the year for me. If you compare the Souls games to each other or rather every FromSoftware Souls game, each have their own easily distinguishable identity and have very memorable Bosses, areas and lore.

Nioh 2 not only has barely any new atmosphere but it outright reuses Nioh 1's assets hence the feeling of deja vu. The worst offender was one of the final palaces where you refight all the earlier bosses just like the original and even used almost the exact same layout.

Not saying I didn't have fun with the game. I will always be a die-hard Souls fan and Nioh 2 is the sequel to it's best clone. It was good (I mean it is exactly like Nioh 1 but with poorer level design but somewhat better bosses here and there) but I hesitate to call it great given how I have pretty much seen everything the game has to offer 3 years ago.
