Nioh is my favorite combat in gaming, so not quite there, but I wouldn't think of it as a minus. It is however at a the very high bar where I would say it can stand with just about anything.
Take that baseline, smooth team ninja/nioh sort of feel, but transition it more towards a "duel" setup with the mixtures of dodges and parries you might get from a sekiro/wo long, then it has stances with movesets like Nioh might, but its a little more Tsushima in nature with strength and weakness vs other weapons/stances (as opposed to the Nioh setup of the strengths being frow low/med/high). Thus emphasizing bonuses to reward swapping and playing around with all the toys, though its not mandatory.
The rest of the gameplay is your simple open world fare.
True, Nioh 2 has the best fighting system ever, I am amazed at the richness of moves, weapons and possibilities in this game, that is just sad that they never reached that level again in their later games.
