I don't think there is any yokai boss easier to defeat than Kamaitachi in Nioh 2. Not only is his move set rather basic, he is one boss that can easily be overcame with a good defense over a solid strategy. But, if you want to ensure victory, it never hurts to know your foe. General...

Like the Soulsborne series, I don’t know if I would classify Nioh 2 as a hard game, but it can certainly make you question things. When doing my first cycle, there were some bosses and situations that I had issues getting past and other ones that made me question whether this was even a...
