Well, after a shaky start I enjoyed the hell out of that, even though the last few missions felt like padding and the last boss is such a non event in a game that is generally really good for bosses. It's not the best game in the series, that is still probably NG2 but it's definitely not the worst game. I don't know if it's even GOTY tier yet and honestly, this game feels like it has enough depth that I'll only know for sure after a while and that feels like a pretty good compliment to give the game if you ask me. I could throw a sly dig in here about soulslikes, god knows after a whole game of Silent Hill f's combat this feels like eating from the fucking table of Olympus or something, I think I'll go back to finish RE4 Remake and then I'll probably come back to this and for other NG games.
This was nearly a different, more negative post so I'm glad I waited because I can now say I absolutely love Ninja Gaiden 4 so far! It has a rough start in my opinion, it's quite a bit harder than NG2 on Normal Mode at first in my opinion because you have less than you usually do in these games (you have to buy series essentials like guillotine throw and wind run for some baffling reason) and enemies are REALLY aggressive so you have a hard time defending yourself. Also it's not NG2, it's similar but you really need to learn how to play this game and not try and force your NG muscle memory into it, even if a lot of it will work some things are different, hell you get several parry options now which should tell you something.
I'm not going to say I prefer it to even the Ninja Gaiden Black 2 version of NG2, I think the fast reactions and hyper speed combat of that game was too good but this is refreshingly deep so far, you can swap between weapons mid combo and even enhance your attacks with blood ninjutsu to enhance them into heavy attacks that can break enemy power attacks, this is way more complex than when I fished for amputations in NG2 with single moves and combos. It's definitely more of a Platinum game than a Team Ninja game, which is a little sad but at least the game is actually good, for a sequel to a long thought dead series these things can go wrong so often so it's nice that this is not even the first or even second good Ninja Gaiden release this year, both Black 2 which despite being not what they offered (which still really bothers me) is still a blast to play and then also Ragebound which is a 2D sidescroller in the way the classic Ninja Gaiden games were on the NES and such.
So if you played NG2, don't be too put off if this is kicking your ass and if you're new, might want to take it verrry slowly…or play Black 2 first
My current run on TR1 on Vita uses save states so that's '''''null and void''''' too, so flubbing a running jump isn't a inconvenience. (I'll accept whatever system the remastrered version of 2 uses though, so whatever)
I recall Tomb Raider 2 being much harder
I had fun with The Dark Ages but the huge open maps and the 'stand and fight' philosophy puts it well below the other two for me, as awesome as the Shield can be most of the time.
