It is taken over 13 years to get right here, however Ninja Gaiden 4 is upon us. That is proper, Group Ninja’s hardcore motion franchise is lastly again within the highlight, and by most accounts, it is a welcome return.
The sport’s been given some actually optimistic evaluate scores, with many critics praising its all-out concentrate on unapologetically hectic fight. In comparison with many trendy motion titles, it is a correct throwback to the extra traditional stylings that we affiliate with PS2 and PS3 period design.
However on the similar time, a brand new (and ridiculously edgy) lead character, alongside some noticeable steps in direction of making Ninja Gaiden extra accessible, give this long-awaited sequel a surprisingly recent really feel. Whether or not that really feel finally ends up happening effectively with veteran gamers, we’ll have to attend and see.
“Ninja Gaiden 4 is a rock strong motion recreation that delivers on what’s most essential — the fight,” is what we wrote in our 7/10 Ninja Gaiden 4 PS5 evaluate.
We concluded: “It does not hit each mark, however the simplistic construction, emphasis on technical fight, and even the tacky performances mix for an motion recreation that feels prefer it’s from a bygone period, in one of the simplest ways doable.”
