Ninja Gaiden 4 Review - PlatinumGames Makes the Series BETTER!

Описание: Ninja Gaiden 4 Review - PlatinumGames Makes the Series BETTER!

The long wait is over! Ninja Gaiden 4 is the first new 3D entry in 13 years, marking a historic collaboration between Team Ninja and PlatinumGames. With the bar set impossibly high, we dive into the action to see if the new protagonist, Yakumo, can carry the legacy of Ryu Hayabusa.

In this review, we confirm that Ninja Gaiden 4 is a PlatinumGames title through and through, delivering the bloodiest, flashiest, and most outrageously stylish action the 3D series has ever seen. We discuss the mechanically deep combat—which is more accessible on Normal difficulty than previous games—while still offering the Master Ninja challenge purists demand, especially in the intense boss fights.

We also explore the game's surprisingly engaging story, which sets up Yakumo as a worthy successor and feels like a genuine passing of the torch from one generation of ninja to the next. From the satisfying platforming across a futuristic Tokyo to the deep RPG-lite progression, find out why Ninja Gaiden 4 is not only the perfect follow-up to Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound but potentially the best action game of 2025!
