So i have now finished the game 2 times on hard and one time on normal did all collectibles and side missions and got my health max. I have to say i am a bit conflicted on this game. I started this game straight up as i thought i would be able to get pass through it. But surprisnigly game is challenging since its a platinum game. And i have to say they did outdid themselves with type of game they make. but i don't think they were right choice to make this game. It plays more akin to ninja gaiden 2 sigma and razor's edge. It has aggressive enemies no doubt but something is off way the game works. It removes the weapon upgrading system of old games. And focuses more on weapon skills similar to metal gear rising.
Game makes blocking too OP imo. with upgrades you can block upto combo of 8 but none of the enemies actually have a combo of 8. They have max a combo of 4 especially human enemies. this game introduces another monster creatures daemons which do feel hard to fight but nowhere in comparison to as sweaty as fiends. Fiends do make a comeback and i am happy that their difficulty is same as what it was in older games. they are aggressive and can 2-3 shot you even on normal difficulty. Bosses and music are definitely a improvement over previous ninja gaiden games. I think if they did not make blocking OP and not introduce perfect blocking it would have been better game. Blocking is just from metal gear rising. that said i think its a very fun action game probably my goty of this year 9/10 but as a ninja gaiden imo it doesn't really live up to the sweaty tense situations of previous games.
