Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has fantastic Soulsborne combat, but its innovative approach to exploration is what could make it stand out.

Team Ninja is the only team besides Fromsoft themselves who really nail that Soulslike combat that I've found so far.

I wouldn't really call Team Ninja's combat in Nioh and Wo Long Soulslike to be honest. It reminds me more of Onimusha but a tad faster. Soulslike combat tends to be slower paced and more about patience. Team Ninja's is more action-oriented and quicker reflexes. I think Sekiro is more similar to Team Ninja with the soulslike element. But this is just my opinion mind you, and I've played all of the souls games and Team Ninja games.

Also, From Software titles have a much higher emphasis on exploration. Team Ninja titles are way more linear and much less exploration from what I played. Their games are about getting you into the action quicker.

Either way, I like both of them because they both provide different playstyles that are in similar vein.

this is gonna be an 86 o

86-88 at best, it's not by from software so it doesn't get a +5-10 metacritic bump from souls fanboys in media
NioH 2 was better than NioH in almost all regards. Check their scores.
Yes, FS gets free pass all the time.
