There isn't really anything to be said negatively about Defiant Honor, other than, like Dragon of the North, I just want more.
Unfortunately the boss encounters and disposable side missions sully whatever good this content had going for it. Still, despite my grievances, I feel as though Team Ninja are finally finding their groove with the DLC and I'm hoping that the final one will knock it out of the park.
NiOh's "Defiant Honor" DLC is great, but sadly - pretty short. It doesn't offer much gameplay, that is if you don't like lengthy grinds.
An addition that is short on both content and imagination, with nothing really to set it apart from the main game. A difficult purchase to recommend unless you really want more Nioh regardless of quality.
