I wasn't sure what to expect with Ninja Gaiden 4 at first, as it felt like there was no way for the game to live up to all of its expectations. The more I play and spend time with the game, though, the more I fall in love with it. The combat is a perfect evolution that maintains everything I love about Ninja Gaiden, while also incorporating the accessibility and convenience of modern game design. The camera and targeting system can be annoying at times, but more often than not, those concerns fade away as I get into a groove and carve up enemies with my favorite weapons. This is the gold standard for fast-paced, high-octane, 3D action games. I just hope we don't have to wait another ten years for the next one.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a shock to the system that reminds us of a time before Souls-likes. It's a high-octane, unrelenting, and effortlessly cool action game experience that newcomers and franchise fans alike need to play.

Ninja Gaiden is simply the best 3D game in the series. Is it different? Yes, very. Is that bad? Not at all. It's the most demanding and fast paced combat of the series and I bloody loved it

Ninja Gaiden 4 is not just a beautifully gory return for Team Ninja's twenty-one-year tenure with the series, but it's also vintage PlatinumGames, serving up a relentlessly paced flurry of swords, lopped limbs, and buckets of blood. What more could a ninja fan possibly want?

Despite the occasional on-rail hiccup, I’ve really enjoyed my time with Ninja Gaiden 4, and it’s easily a game I can see myself revisiting as I try to improve my own abilities and end of level scoring, offering up an easy reason to replay stages over and over again. It’s certainly a far better effort than its predecessor, and while it’s a very different Ninja Gaiden game compared to the recently released Ragebound, it’s a worthy follow-up to one of the more beloved action franchises out there. Hopefully the release of Ninja Gaiden 4 breathes new life into the franchise, as I’d love to see even more Ninja Gaiden titles released in the near future.

Not only a return to form for Ninja Gaiden but for PlatinumGames as well, in a game that may lack in innovation, but makes up for it in mechanical complexity.

Over a decade after the last mainline entry, Ninja Gaiden returns, this time infused with PlatinumGames’ unmistakable style. The result is a game packed with fast-paced, over-the-top action that’s undeniably fun, but it often feels more like Bayonetta than Ninja Gaiden. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though it might not be exactly what longtime fans were hoping for. Oh, and yes, the camera issues are still hanging around!.

Ninja Gaiden 4 delivers fast and furious action that will have you hacking and slashing through demons and cybernetic soldiers in a fun and satisfying way, but its overuse of gimmicks in its level design, lack of variety of weapons, and flat story keep this from being a game that will leave a lasting impression.

Awesome, much needed change from all the soulslike **** coming out these days. **** story and character development like other Ninja Gaiden games, but who cares when the combat is a 10/10. This has decent bosses unlike the the older ninja gaiden games that had **** bosses,

My first time jumping into the Ninja Gaiden franchise, and it has been an incredibly fun experience. The combat definitely requires some actual skill to master, but it feels incredibly rewarding once it clicks. I honestly didn't even realize it was made by the same developers behind Dynasty Warriors! Hayabusa is one strong ninja. Good game overall

Ng4 est un bon jeu, avec toujours de belles qualités comme le gameplay très dynamique et d’excellents combat de boss. Malheureusement, il y’a toujours les meme défauts à savoir l’histoire qui n’est toujours pas prenante et les graphismes qui sont datés.

This game belongs in the past, but not in a good way. Mediocre. Bland. Repetitive. Would be innovative if the whole nj series never existed.
In an age where DMC has reached such heights, this is just an old game, on a new console. Very sad day for gaming. This should have been better. But it is not.
Let the 5000 players on steam play it and the devs to realise that this is a sad excuse of a new release.

El juego no se nota gran cambio comparado con los anteriores, incluso se siente como si estuvieras jugando el primero, gráficamente no me gusto, los personajes siguen teniendo texturas que parecen monos de plástico, prefiero un DMC o un Stellar Blade
