Nioh 3, the latest installment of the popular franchise that blends action and RPG, continues to enhance the player experience by introducing innovations that simplify the leveling process. One of the most notable additions to this game, showcased in its recent demo, is the option to automatically use accumulated experience items from the leveling menu, a feature that could set a new standard in the Soulslike subgenre.

This feature allows players to use leveling spirits, known as spirit stones, with just the press of a button and without the need to exit the menu. When a player is about to level up, the game automatically uses the minimum amount of spirit stones needed to reach the next level, leaving the rest of the experience intact. This eliminates the tedious process of navigating through inventories to use consumables, making the path to character improvement much smoother and more efficient. Compared to other recent titles, such as Lies of P, which introduced colored numbers to indicate when enough experience is available, Nioh 3 joins the trend of enhancing player quality of life in this genre.
In addition, Nioh 3 will have a six-month exclusivity on PS5 before its possible release on Xbox, which represents a significant change in the distribution of the franchise. This is a move that could open the door to access for a broader audience, something crucial for the continued growth of the series in a competitive market.
With these innovations, Nioh 3 not only positions itself as a serious contender in the genre, but also sets a precedent that could change the way players interact with these types of games in the future. The gaming community remains eager for the full release of this promising installment.
