    A dazzling dose of ninja nostalgia, with a soundtrack so good it could be the best of the year.

    Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a genuinely challenging action game with lovely visuals and rewarding fast-paced gameplay. It feels a bit rough in places, though, and often borders on being simply too chaotic for its own good. Assist options mean that anyone can see the journey through to its end, but better balancing or difficulty levels would have been preferred.

    I have almost nothing negative to say about Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, other than that it ends too soon. But there are plenty of hidden secrets, side missions, and challenges to chase down after the story wraps. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a wonderful surprise, a game that captures the heart and soul of multiple eras of Ninja Gaiden games and manages to stand on its own, thanks to solid gameplay, tight controls, and a sharp presentation.
