Yeah it does have improvements like

Also enjoying it a ton and I've generally heard Nioh 2 only improves on it!

This is exactly what I can't get over.

Nioh 1 has its BS moments and flaws like enemy variety and samey atmosphere but overall it was an absolute blast to play. I don't ever remember thinking the game had too many cheap BS areas at least in the main story.

Nioh 2 has improvements like more enemy variety and more varied atmosphere in comparison to the original but in turn it has terrible enemy placement and tons of maze-like areas where background looks the same and the feeling of familiarity (like Dark Souls) is absent.

Also a lot of the OP magic has been nerfed compared to the original whereas Enemies have more in the arsenal to make your life a living hell. Like there is literally an archer or gunner placed really high above in almost every single level since the 3rd or 4th mission to make it very difficult to fight the already unfair hordes of enemies that the game throws at you.

I'm finding the game exhausting to play. The only thing that keeps me going is that the boss battle have been fun so far.
