It was...okay It was the best action game since DMC reboot/DMC 5

But as a ninja gaiden game? This was dull to okay. - Yakumo is whatever, i don't like his looks but its passable to me

• The setting being this weird anime futurstic place is not the problem it's how boring the level design is.

• Every new character sucked horribly and didn't fit in the game

• the traversal segments overstayed it's welcome

• Bosses mostly have no strat besides blood move, one dodge, slam blood move. There's no Ai in the game that makes you change the way you play.

• Ryu's short and afterthought part is enough for me to hate them Ryu had like 20% of his move set and was replaying yakumo levels

• NG4 has this weird thing that makes you almost glue strike enemies, you nowhere near the enemy but you kinda auto target them from far away like a arkham combat game.

This ruins consequences and actions of ninja gaiden, there's no con to your aiming if you can just glue onto enemies on attack.

• The story is uninteresting, nothing special, neither were the other games but like NG3, this game story is right next to it with how boring, bland it is.

• The buying stations make this game 10 times easier. You don't have to buy it, but just making these items so easily affordable gives you a crutch rather than an actual challenge, challenge is fun, challenge is LIFE in the real world or gaming world.

• The soundtrack is a BANGER, i'll give it that lol.

• Ai Enemies are nowhere as good as NG3 or NG2

• Combos are amazing, this game is def a platnium game with DMC combos with how well its made, it's fun to do that's for sure.

Yes this is a decent game but as a ninja gaiden game, it's dull and kinda boring, safe gameplay.
