This game is reviewing extremely well! They seem to have turned it around after the middling first alpha last year.

EDIT: For anyone who isn't familiar, Nioh is Dark Souls with Diablo like loot mechanics in a 17th century japanese setting with demons and other creatures from japanese folklore. From what I played it evolves the Dark Souls formula in very interesting ways by making the combat more involved and deeper. The stamina recovery mechanic, the hard punishement for running out of stamina and the fact that enemies also have a stamina bar are all very cool gameplay concepts that make this thing unique and not just a Dark Souls clone. Add to that loot, daily/weekly hard versions of missions, a cool coop mode, the Team Ninja touch for fluid action, 60fps and this thing could be something special.
