** After more than ''10 years'' of DevelopmentHell, Creator/KoeiTecmo released multiple demos throughout its development cycle for a limited time so players can see what the game looks and plays like, with an added incentive of DownloadableContent unlocked in the final product upon completing them. Furthermore, ''Nioh'' offering an in-game option between a more stable frame rate or displaying at a higher resolution has been lauded.
** Following the reception of the alpha demo, Team Ninja took players' opinions about the {{Scrappy Mechanic}}s (see below) and implemented [[http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/05/19/nioh-demo-downloaded-850000-times-team-ninja-reveals-planned-changes-full-game/ multiple changes into the product]], one of which includes a tutorial, a common complaint regarding the alpha. A beta was released in August 2016 for players to take these changes into account before the developer finalized the game.
** The 1.06 patch update allows players to ''finally'' pause the game, something its [[VideoGame/DarkSouls inspir]][[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} ations]] do not have.
** After it was rumored that the PC release would have [[UsefulNotes/DigitalRightsManagement Denuvo]], and be limited to the console version's two video options, WordOfGod has stated that neither rumor was true.
** The Complete Edition patch removed the "mission already cleared" requirement from coop with friends; while you still can't do them with random people, it's now significantly easier for two friends to play the game together.
