The mission selection map shows that a new threat has taken hold in a village I've already cleared, or that those mines are infested again and I dig into my wardrobe, pick out my fanciest outfit, and head back into the fray. In Dark Souls, I find myself replaying areas over and over again because I need to, whereas in Nioh I make the return journey deliberately. Fortunately, where Nioh differs from Dark Souls is far more interesting than where the two games overlap. I promise I'm not being lazy when I say that Nioh is Dark Souls meets Sengoku period Japan though, and to prove it I'm going to use that short-hand as a starting point rather than an end-point. It's lazy critical short-hand, people will say, and they're often correct. Describing a game as X meets Dark Souls is a sure way to invite mockery and contempt.
