October is a very exciting month for Xbox. The adventure game was released just a few days ago Guardian from Double Fine, and we already have another game released in collaboration with Xbox. How did the fourth part end? Ninja Gaiden?
Overall excellent. Reviewers have generally given it high scores, with a few lower ones here and there, largely due to the story, which many consider to be the game’s weakest link. Some also criticized the worst camera, but it is almost the same in all parts of the series. The average rating on Metacritic is currently 83%which isn’t a bad thing at all, and Microsoft can thus lay claim to another successful game, even if it only helped finance it and it’s not its own brand.
“At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Ninja Gaiden 4, as I felt that the game wouldn’t live up to my expectations. However, the more I play and spend time with the game, the more I fall in love with it. The combat system is a perfect evolution, retaining everything I love about Ninja Gaiden while embracing the accessibility and comfort of modern game design. The camera and aiming system can be annoying at times, but most of the time my fears are dispelled once I get into the swing of things and shred enemies with my weapon of choice. It’s the gold standard for fast-paced, action-packed 3D gaming. I just hope we don’t have to wait another ten years to wait for the next one.” writes DualShockers with a stamp 95%.
“Ninja Gaiden 4 proves that the long wait for Ryu Hayabusa’s return was worth it. It offers a familiar experience while evolving the combat system in compelling ways to create combat that is fun, challenging, varied, and highly replayable.” sent by TierraGamer with stamp 90%.
“There truly is strength in unity, and the collaboration between Team Ninja and PlatinumGames hits the nail on the head. Despite a few minor shortcomings, Ninja Gaiden 4 remains true to the spirit of the series and enriches it with new mechanics that clearly bear the signature of the creators of the Bayonetta series. The result is an impressive, technical and varied combat system that, when fully mastered, is extremely satisfying.” read in the IGN Italia review with rating 85%.
“Ninja Gaiden 4 presents a mixed bag, but still leaves a positive impression. The adventure structure has a familiar charm, and while I don’t want to shrug off criticisms of shoddy graphics and dated design and defend it with rose-colored nostalgia, the concept of simple action built on equally simple game code works surprisingly well. This is not a game that will go down in history in the same way as its predecessors. Yes, but this is an adventure worth playing if you want crazy ninja action.” – Gamereactor UK with stamp 70%.
You can read all reviews on the previously mentioned Metacritic. Fans of these events and especially the series will not be disappointed, the long wait was worth it and it’s nice that Xbox helped fund the revival of this brand. And it’s still waiting for us The Outer Worlds 2which will be released next week. So Microsoft certainly can’t complain about a bad offer, since it offered three first-person games this month and will release another in November. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is available for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. You can also find it on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. You can watch the launch trailer below.
