Ninja Gaiden 4

The Ninja Gaiden series has not released a mainline title for over a decade, but Koei Tecmo announced that Ninja Gaiden 4 is in development by Platinum Games, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S for .99. The game features a new protagonist, Yakumo, alongside Ryu Hayabusa, as they attempt to defeat the Dark Dragon, which threatens Tokyo. The narrative is considered weak, serving mainly as a backdrop for combat. Ninja Gaiden 4 adopts a more streamlined gameplay approach compared to its predecessors, with a simplified combo system that may appeal to newcomers but disappoint longtime fans. New mechanics include the Bloodraven Form, a parry system, and a Berserk state, enhancing combat but requiring careful management. Ryu Hayabusa's role is diminished, with his gameplay feeling repetitive. The game offers high replay value with unlockable challenge modes and new gear. Minimum system requirements include an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G or Intel i5-8400 CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 590 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 100GB of storage, while recommended specs suggest an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel i5-10400 CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 5700XT or Nvidia RTX 2600 Super GPU. The game runs smoothly at 60fps and 1440p, is compatible with various controllers, and is verified for Steam Deck.
