Pros

  • Black is actually harder on normal than Sigma and has exploration with some puzzles sprinkled in
  • What i like about the game (moreso black ) is that it justdoesnt give a fuck about you. It gives you the game and tells you go, normal was extremely punishing in black, less so in sigma but its still an good way to play a gaming classic
  • Ninja Gaiden Black has not been surpassed in my mind of truly making you feel like a badass, and while you may not feel this so much on the Ninja Dog mode, you are simultaneously the most deadly force on the planet but incredibly vulnera...
  • Excellent choice. My all time favourite game of all time.
  • The controls are so damn solid. I don’t know any other game that can let you perfect parry, and build a combo that isn’t just button mashing.

Cons

  • I'll have you know that the camera in *Black* is a fair bit worse than Sigma's. Somehow. I played them back-to-back and was kind of appalled with Black clashing with my vague memory of Sigma so much.
  • I heard great things about Ninja Gaiden Black as being the GOAT action game and never gotten around to it until I got a Series X. And to be honest, I am not only underwhelmed, but very disappointed. ... Combat. This game puts combat abov...
  • The camera made me put it down despite how good it looks and the great combat. Main reason why I dropped it when it originally released same with ninja gaiden black.
  • I decided to go straight for Ninja Dog so I could get a feel for the game, learn the moves, and get a hold of the damn camera (it sucks).

I heard great things about Ninja Gaiden Black as being the GOAT action game and never gotten around to it until I got a Series X. And to be honest, I am not only underwhelmed, but very disappointed. ... Combat. This game puts combat above all else and it shows. ... Despite how good the combat is, the platforming is horrendous. With the awful camera, sometimes Ryu doesn't go where you want him to go.

Ninja Gaiden Black has not been surpassed in my mind of truly making you feel like a badass, and while you may not feel this so much on the Ninja Dog mode, you are simultaneously the most deadly force on the planet but incredibly vulnerable.

So, Ninja Gaiden Black was on a sale on Xbox this week and I decided to give it a go. ... And let me tell you, this game is holding me a hell of a lot more than any other game released in the last few years.
