Last week: Played through Cairn and loved it, but is now after something less existentially troubling.

Nioh 3 is an astonishing action game, probably an all timer for me. I've poured nearly 20 hours into Team Ninja's latest—which we just awarded a 90% in our review—and I'm relieved that the relative calm of Wo Long Fallen Dynasty and Rise of the Ronin hasn't influenced the batshit frenetic pace of the Nioh games. Nioh 3 is more frenetic than Nioh 2, which was more frenetic than Nioh. Team Ninja's project feels akin to id Software's approach with Doom Eternal: no finger can be permitted to rest. It's a project in pushing against the limits of player exhaustion.
