Ninja Gaiden 4 is about as pure action as a game can get, and it’s a delicious and sometimes exhausting gauntlet of increasingly brutal bouts that test your reflexes, dexterity, endurance, and creativity in exciting ways. It’s a welcome return to form for a franchise whose last mainline entry was well over a decade ago, and its trademark tight controls have never been tuned finer. Platinum Games, which serves as the primary developer behind this entry, nails the distinct feel of Ninja Gaiden’s action to the point that fans would never notice a new developer is at the reins. But the studio behind Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising does bring some fun new ideas, chiefly a new ninja at the helm whose battle prowess exceeds longtime hero Ryu Hayabusa.
