I am so glad this game series is back in full swing and better than ever. We have been lacking in proper hack and slash action games and Ninja Gaiden does it best. We're back with Ryu Hayabusa and a newer protagonist and they wrestle and struggle as they're in rival clans. The combat is as addictive as ever, the environments are really pretty and well constructed. Boss fights and arenas are as difficult as they were in prior games.

Now this is a real action game. Something from another time. Platinum games makes fantastic combat and action games that demand a lot out of the player but are extremely satisfying to master. Disregard anyone who is comparing this to earlier entries in the series, it’s doing its own thing in the best way. A must play for fans of this type of game and I’d encourage people who play souls games to give it a try to see what a real character action game can be like.

I just finished Ninja Gaiden 4 on PS5, and honestly — it’s the comeback I was hoping for. The combat feels sharp, fast, and incredibly satisfying. Every fight rewards precision and timing, and once you start mastering combos and counters, it’s pure adrenaline. The gameplay really feels like classic Ninja Gaiden, but smoother and more fluid thanks to the new mechanics and 120 FPS performance on PS5.

Good and fun action game. If you're into hack and slash, you'll enjoy this one. Story is whatever, but the combat is good. Wish Ryu had more weapons, but maybe he will in the DLC.

Great game and the difficulty level is up there but fun also
