If it isn’t obvious by now, I love action games. Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, I’ve played them all. So when I confess the sin of never properly playing the mainline 3D Ninja Gaiden games (despite loving the 2D entries), I want it to be clear that it wasn’t out of indifference or ignorance of their legacy, but more of an ‘I’ll get to it eventually.’

Since each game is practically self-contained, I didn’t hesitate to jump into Ninja Gaiden 4, and wow, I was missing out on something special. These are my impressions of Ninja Gaiden 4 from someone who loves action games but skipped the main trilogy.

Action games have led the charge since the early days of gaming, with developers quick to put swords and spears in players’ hands and let them carve through pixelated foes. The genre reached its peak with character-action or spectacle fighters, where over-the-top presentation and memorable protagonists were complemented by deep, rewarding combat systems, but it has since been diluted by the industry’s constant need to chase trends and homogenize.

The tide seems to be turning, however, with 2025 shaping up to be a year filled with action games that aren’t Metroidvanias, roguelikes, or Soulslikes, but pure action titles unafraid to be challenging, stylish, and demanding of their players. There’s nothing wrong with those genres, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen games with a clear focus on skillful play over randomization or RPG elements.

Team Ninja and PlatinumGames have teamed up to release a sequel to one of the best character action game series with Ninja Gaiden 4. It features a new playable character and sees the return of Ryu Hayabusa. It’s coming to PC and consoles later this year and is up for pre-order.

Here is everything you need to know about the pricing, pre-order bonuses, and deluxe edition of Ninja Gaiden 4.
