Nioh 3 just got a Steam demo, and given Team Ninja's history I'm surprised how well it runs on my aging rig

Team Ninja's games tend to run poorly on PC at launch. Rise of the Ronin, which arrived on PC last March after a period of PS5 exclusivity, was a mess: it stuttered, it sputtered all over the framerate gamut, it crashed a lot, and it didn't even look very good.

That was the case even after Team Ninja apologized for their previous game, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, running like crap on PC. If you cast your mind back five years ago, Nioh 2 also had a less-than-ideal launch. Ninja Gaiden 4 ran decently by all reports...
