Brutal boss battler Nioh 3’s first major post-release patch is here
The highly anticipated Nioh 3 has released its first major post-release patch on February 13th. One of the key fixes in this patch addresses a significant issue where players were unable to use healing elixirs during battles, causing frustration among the gaming community.
Our friends at VG247 have confirmed the fix, highlighting the importance of this update. The game’s intense nature has been known to push players to their limits, evident from Jeremy’s experience where he left a mark on his desk while reviewing the game.
Aside from resolving the elixir issue, the patch includes various bug fixes, particularly addressing challenges with bosses like Takasugi Shinsaku, Minamoto no Yoritomo, and Kajiwara Kagetoki. Additionally, Koei Tecmo has made broader adjustments such as increasing enemy health in the Training Ground Battle Scroll and allowing players to pray at shrines during battles.
One amusing fix included in this patch is related to character creation, where floating hair above the head has been corrected when selecting specific options. These attention to details showcase the developers’ commitment to enhancing the gameplay experience.
Despite the challenges faced during his playthrough, Jeremy praised Nioh 3 for its excellence. While acknowledging its differences from other popular titles in the genre, he commended the game for its ability to blend various influences into a unique and entertaining experience. Nioh 3’s diverse gameplay elements offer a refreshing take on the samurai genre, making it a worthwhile adventure for all players.
