Sekiro because it's amazing, has some of the best environments and bosses, and has one of the most badass final boss fights of all time.
I LOVE NiOh, still haven't got around to 2. The best thing in NiOh is when you're in combat. It's just loads of fun. But then enemies drop tons of things and after every third to fifth enemy you're just sorting your inventory. It kinda got on my nerves after like 200 hours. :P
I voted Sekiro, because it not only gives you that rush in combat(probably the best sword on sword combat designed so far to me), but it has a lot of other things going on as well. It has exploration of very well designed levels, it has the by now typical FromSoft lore you can dive into and most important for me in this decision, it has very few RPG mechanics to it. Now I know that's not always a boon for everyone but compared to the overload of NiOh, I just prefer its more simple approach.
Both are amazing games though.

Sekiro has higher highs and higher lows than Nioh 1 or 2, but the overall experience of Ni-oh 2 is more fun. Sekiro also asks for more specific demands/a specific playstyle while Nioh is more free form in what it expects.
Both are great, but Ni-oh 1/2 are just more fun over all. They are all great games though.
My vote went to Ni-oh 2.

Pretty much everything about Nioh 2 is up my alley, so that. Can't wait for the next DLC in October.
Sekiro really soured on me the more I played it. I got the plat in both Nioh 1 & 2. So Nioh 2 it is!
A different game altogether is my choice. None of those do anything for me. I'll save ... StarTropics.
There's a path that you take once you get on land in Nioh, after the castle. It winds around and you fight some enemies and what not. I've tried twice and have yet to see where that path leads.
ive played sekiro 3 times and have the plat.
*Edit: I will try again. I do like what I played, just always drop off right there.

Sekiro. one of the most memorable bosses in gaming, coherent world design and great challenge even for seasoned From Soft players.
Nioh 2 soured me on the franchise, barely any changes from the first game, dull leveldesign and just too easy for such a game, they trivialized the gameplay with the burst counter and the yokai skills. and these days i couldn´t care less about Diablo loot pinata stuff.

Definitely Nioh 2. Sekiro is not even remotely my kind of play style and it doesn't really let you play it any other way. Just not fun for me at all.
Sekiro easily. The sword duels are probably the best in all of gaming. From the sound effects and animations of the blades clashing with the tense back and forth of player and boss it's incredible.
I consider FromSoftware my favorite developer. The likes of Bloodborne, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3 are my most favorite games. But Nioh 2 easily. Nothing can top Nioh combat and this one has a character creator so that just seals the deal. I'm not boring ass Wolf, I'm cool ass samurai princess with switchglaive.
I "liked" Sekiro, played it on PC and PS4, got the platinum, it was fun but in the end it's was a... Underwhelming experience. I don't have the words to say it but the game has so many issues for me that it was a faaaaaar from memorable experience. It's not a "Souls" game, but for me is the weakest modern FROM game. So many mixed feelings with this game hahahaha.
Nioh never clicked for me, and I'm not a fan of the "mission" system.

I had time to try out all three games. Out of the three, Sekiro is the only one I actually bought.
Had to choose Sekiro out of those three. I liked Nioh a lot when it came out, but all the loot management you have to do got pretty tedious for me. I didn't really like having to constantly rid myself of dozens of items to clear inventory space. Nioh 2 started out really strong for me, but I found the difficulty spiked late in the game to a pretty ridiculous degree. Maybe that's on me missing a mechanic or something, but it was a case of serious diminishing returns.
Sekiro is a weird game to me. I think as a whole game, it has some serious faults in its level design, it's difficulty curve, and giving you incentive to really explore around you. On the other hand, some of the boss encounters are incredibly memorable and learning the dance, as it were, was rewarding in a way that few games manage. The game could honestly be a boss rush and it would probably be just about as good as the fully fleshed out game.

Sekiro. Nioh 2 has been crack for me the past few weeks. I'd put it above Nioh and GoT, and it arguably has the best combat out of any of these games, but the combination of Sekiro's soaring highs and Miyazaki art direction are tough to beat. Plus if has the added feather of genuinely great movement/traversal.
Nioh 2, I'm enjoying my time more with Nioh 2 than the rest, I can customize my own character, with so many unique builds cool looking weapon and high replay value.
Only played through Sekiro and Nioh 1 but out of those two I'd choose Nioh 1 easily. To me it has a far better combat system which makes the moment to moment gameplay much more engaging. It also allows for far more customization and experimentation.
Sekiro is overall to me the weakest modern Fromsoft game next to Demon's Souls. Still a good game but a disappointment coming from Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.
