    Dotemu and The Game Kitchen deliver a solid homage with Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound - a throwback to classic action-platformers whose gameplay still cuts sharp. If you're after a pure trip down memory lane with pixel-perfect precision front and center, this game hits the mark. But if you're hoping for an explosive, innovative experience to sink countless hours into, Ragebound falls just a bit short - though in the year of the ninja, it's still a worthy addition to the Gaiden legacy.

    The path of the ninja is fraught with danger, but the mission has been accomplished thanks to the alliance between The Game Kitchen clan and the ninjas at Dotemu. The challenge of bringing the licence back from the 1980s/1990s and modernising the experience has been completed without a hitch. The love for the title shines through, the reimagined gameplay works wonders and the pixel art is top-notch. For all fans of retro experiences, we award it an S rating.
