    Katana ZERO on Xbox One and through Xbox Game Pass offers another simplistically violent video game at first glance, but before long the game starts playing with your perceptions, and by that point you are invested until the conclusion. And with several different endings and speedrun abilities to unlock, you could find yourself coming back more than once.

    Katana Zero is a piece of art. Despite the many irritations because I couldn't get through certain levels, it was addictive to discover theKatana Zero is a piece of art. Despite the many irritations because I couldn't get through certain levels, it was addictive to discover the try and error gameplay. The story was a little vague sometimes but came together at the end. In terms of levels there was enough variation that kept the gameplay interesting. Add to that the music plus the art style and setting that continuously stays true to itself and you have an experience that is truly unique!… Full Review »
