Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Review

Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is a must-have for action fans, particularly those looking for titles that require quick reactions and arduous trials of failing and learning. The first two entries are masterclasses, and the third, while questionable in several areas, proves to be more than worth the time investment.

Great Ninja Gaiden Collection that is a lot of fun to play. If you’re looking for the best three ninja games, look no further. This fast-paced hack and slash adventure is a must-have if you enjoy the Ninja Gaiden series.

The minor graphical improvements and the addition of a few modes, weapons, and characters provide a compelling reason to pick up Team Ninja’s energetic games while ignoring the multiplayer of the past. The source of the issues is not in the texture and resolution updates, but in the creation of this trilogy, with the negative points of the Sigma versions manifesting themselves in some places. However, there are several moments when we encounter memorable challenges and a frenzy of blows that keep us glued to the screen, much like what happened ten years ago, reviving a series that seemed dormant in the hands of a new generation of players.

We have to do this to balance out the idiots who put zero. These are three of the best Hack and Slash games that should be played by anyone who enjoys genres that are remotely related to it. Casual players to SoulsBorne players can all enjoy it! On the Hardest difficulty setting, it is extremely difficult.

The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection on PS4 Pro and PS5 provides excellent value for money, runs flawlessly, and is well worth your time if you can put up with some visual inconsistencies and camera issues.

İf You’ve never played Ninja Gaiden. It’s a good thing you’ve decided to Frenchize this collection.The main feature that distinguishes Ninja Gaiden Sigma is that it can be so difficult that it makes you cry while remaining reasonably priced – with the exception of the save system. Except for three or five optional challenges, waves of enemies do not pile on you; instead, at the slightest mistake, it releases groups of three that choke you with great pleasure. You can either train your animal instincts or throw the joypad and be grateful that the standard difficulty level in games has been decreasing since the days of the NES.

The Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is a stripped-down port of two of the greatest action games ever made: Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Ninja Gaiden 2. The fact that these are the Sigma versions, and that Team Ninja has done nothing to improve the games’ weak points, brings this collection down, but it’s still a good way to play Ninja Gaiden on modern hardware.

For old school fans, this is a classic series. There was Ninia Gaiden before there was Dark Souls. Even now, these games are some of the most frantic fun that can be had with interactive entertainment. Going from a ninja dog to a master ninja, fine-tuning your responses to various enemy types, and being punished for nearly every mistake. Its approach to hack and slash combat is not only frantic, but also precise. As you improve your combo skills, the game becomes infinitely more accessible. There’s a certain fluidity to the combat amongst the chaos, and as you learn to master it, you’ll see yourself improve. In Souls-like games, you can usually grind your way out of a bind, whereas in Ninja Gaiden, you must simply improve. These games are not for everyone, but if you’re looking for a worthy challenge, I challenge YOU to become Master Ninja.

To be honest, I’m not sure why the rating is 5 stars. Those three games are without a doubt among the best action hack and slash games available, and for 40 euros, the value is insanely good, and I would argue that it would be even if it were more expensive. But I’ll go over each one separately. What I liked and disliked about each game

Ninja Gaiden: This is the first game in the series, and the combat feels dated, but it’s a good start to the series. It’s something you can get used to. The interconnected world with a lot of sidetracking and backtracking is the best part, so if you like exploring, this game is for you. I believe this game is longer than the other because of the amount of exploration available. What I didn’t care for were the controls. They were atrocious at times and extremely irritating. The cutscenes were also cringe-worthy, but you don’t play this game for the story (which btw is there just to be there). Ninja Gaiden 1 gets an 8/10. Ninja Gaiden 2: This was my favorite of the series. The combat was a huge improvement over the first game, and it was incredible and satisfying as hell. It had a lot more combos and it was much easier to hit them. In addition, the hitbox of enemies was improved to make it easier to kill them, and the addition of the finisher when the enemy was injured was exactly what I needed. This game, however, has less backtracking and less exploration than the first, but side tracking is present and the stages are well designed. The story, like the first, isn’t all that great. You can also play as different characters, which is always fun, and the soundtrack is fantastic in this one. Ninja Gaiden 2: Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge: Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge was mediocre for me. The stages are extremely linear, with no exploration or backtracking. Also, the story is slightly better than the other two, but not by much. However, the most significant changes in this game were in the combat. To begin with, there are no items, and you upgrade everything through Karma points, which you obtain solely by killing enemies. The battle was… for some better, for some worse. It had more violence and was more satisfying than 2, but I believe 2 has better combat because of better and more fitting combos. Also, the stages feel like enemy frenzy mode because you’re fighting all the time, which becomes tedious as you progress. But it’s still a fun game. Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge gets a 7/10.

I played the game on PS5 and the performance, graphics, and 4k resolution were all incredible, so the visuals are also fantastic. Overall, I loved the Trilogy, and it’s a great way for people like me who didn’t play the originals to relive this incredible franchise.
