Fatal Frame and 4 other great games with decent discounts worth buying from the Koei Tecmo Summer Sale

1) Nioh: Complete Edition ($12.49/INR 274 at 75% off)

Notwithstanding its sequel, the original Nioh is one of the best Souls-like games of the past decade. First released exclusively for the PS4 in 2017, Nioh: Complete Edition on PC is the definitive experience. It features the base game and every DLC released by Koei Tecmo. Step into the shoes of William, an Englishman who arrives in Sengoku-era Japan to become a samurai.

With the yokai threat engulfing the land, embrace the art of fighting and deploy Onmyo magic to battle evil. At first, Nioh may seem like a traditional Souls-like game, but it is much faster-paced, thanks to the Ki Recovery system that allows regenerating lost stamina quickly. Thanks to the challenging difficulty and unforgiving boss fights, players must always be wary of what might be headed their way.

PC players who have still not gotten around to checking this gem out should not hesitate anymore.

The open-ended map features various objectives to tackle while dealing with armies of soldiers, so a strategy is necessary. Despite that, a genuinely cathartic character-action experience has the substance and content to back it up.

The Complete Edition is the whole package, promising players hundreds of hours of content.
