Since its first reveal, I’ve eagerly anticipated Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. The combination of handing the keys to a classic franchise to a proven indie studio like Lizardcube (Streets of Rage 4, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap) and the utterly stunning art style had me ready to don the Oboro Clan shōzoku as Joe Musashi after a long hiatus. The one thing that could deflate my eagerness to jump into Shinobi: Art of Vengeance would be if it didn’t play well. However, we don’t have to worry about that, as after spending 30 minutes with a controller in my hand, I’m pleased to report that Shinobi: Art of Vengeance plays as well as it looks.
