I've been playing demos for three games: Pragmata, Nioh 3, and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. All three are very good, and I'm considering buying MH Stories 3 on release day next month along with Crimson Desert. The last time I bought a game on release was probably Persona 5 back in 2016.
There's one problem with Nioh 3 that's making me hesitate on paying $70 for it: even for a soulsborne game, the bosses have ridiculous amounts of armor and are just not fun to fight. My demo character uses Odachi (2-handed swords), and each swing will barely shave off a sliver of the boss' screen-spanning health bar. This makes it feel like you're hitting them with a nerf bat while they're hitting you with a sledgehammer. It's a shame the bosses are such a pain, because the rest of the game is pretty fun. Maybe I'll wait for it to drop to $50.
