How it was received

Nioh 3 holds a critic score of 90 out of 100. That places it above 92% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored 12 points above the year average.

How long it takes, and what that costs

The main story runs about 39 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 76 hrs, roughly 1.9 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $58.04, that works out to about $1.49 per hour of the main story, or $0.76 per hour if you finish everything.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-10400, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6 cores / 12 threads or higher, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 VRAM 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (Rev. 2.0) VRAM 6GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 125GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
