As ever, you’ll want to click for bigger to really see the differences.Īh, yes, the famous keyboard D-pad and trigger buttons.

This being a Souls-like, save points (and having to quit out of the game to change rendering resolution) makes getting comparison screenshots a bit of a pain, so here’s a shot of a save point at the highest and lowest quality settings. Then there are “Actions” and “Cinematic”, which mimic the slightly odd PS4 options: “Actions” (which I’m assuming is meant to be “Action”) lowers the quality but sets the framerate to 60, while Cinematic raises the quality and sets the framerate to 30. Lowest quality puts everything at absolute minimum Highest quality maxes everything out (except Camera Motion Blur, for some reason). “Custom” aside, there are also four presets. You do also have the presets, but I’m not sure if these only change the visible in-game options, or if they also fiddle with the rendering resolution and the like.


In game, you’ve got all of these except for Screen Resolution and Rendering Resolution. Shadows: High Quality, Medium Quality, Low Quality, Offĭisplay Mode: Windowed, Borderless, Fullscreen Most of these are also available in game, but we’ll cover them in the launcher instead. The download is a (relatively) mere 29GB, which is far more reasonable – and 75GB, while large, isn’t too bad for an edition that contains the game plus its three DLC expansions.Īfter that, we’re into the settings. I had a mild heart attack on noticing that Nioh required 75GB of hard drive space, but surprisingly, it’s incredibly well compressed. Remember this, because it’s going to matter a bit later. I’m running on an i7-3820 with 16GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Let’s go through this in the usual manner. As problematic as fighting knights while dressed as a guard from the Tower of London.
