Ninja Gaiden 4 brought me back to an era of action games I thought was dead
When I jumped intoNinja Gaiden 2 Blackat the top of this year, the prevailing thought in my mind was “Boy, they don’t make ’em like this anymore.” My second thought after a rough few hours was “maybe they shouldn’t.” Action games from that era have all but vanished in the wave of soulslikes, with only Devil May Cry and anything by Platinum Games still attempting to keep that genre alive. So when I learned that it was none other than Platinum teaming up with Team Ninja onNinja Gaiden 4,it felt like a match made in heaven....
