    The games themselves are fun but It is a joke how you can not play it with mouse and keyboard. Although I am disappointed that they did not choose ninja gaiden black to include in this collection.

    No graphical options whatsoever, and no 1440p mode in-game settings. The modern NJ games are fine, still brutally tough, but 2 & 3 fall into mediocre territory.

    A truly great saga with an horribly lazy porting.
    These games deserves much more love from the developments to shine even in this age.
    But it seems that, unfortunately, the development team prefer goes in the cheap route with this series..

    Quality-of-life improvements here and there, preserving its online modes, and additional content would have made this the “ultimate” trilogy fans may have been hoping for. Instead, newcomers will enjoy playing one of the best, if not most challenging, action games ever made and older fans will remember why they fell in love with the series in the first place, all of its flaws included.

    The Ninja Gaiden trilogy differs from all the other slashers and even today stands out from most of the representatives of the genre. Instead of pleasing the mainstream tastes, the Japanese have created games that require you to master available techniques and are brutally difficult even if you do. Most players will find them much to hard to complete, but that’s why we love these team Ninja’s masterpieces, right? [09/2021, p.36]

    Sure, it’s a shame Bluepoint Games weren’t drafted to take care of this collection of and give it some real love, but what the hell. I still had a great time revisiting them, and my only real criticism is that Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was a poor pick in a world where Ninja Gaiden 2 exists. It’s a shame that more of an effort wasn’t made to jazz these up, but it’s still great that the classics are finally on PC.
