Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection review | PC, PS4, Xbox, Switch
202Ninja Gaiden has always been a favourite series of mine. Fast-paced and acute violence, batshit crazy storylines, and over-the-top action. Whatever each game threw at you, it was always guaranteed you’d have a blast playing them. Team Ninja has re-released three of the very best, with 4K resolution, 1080p, and 60fps on PlayStation 4. Although they came out some time ago, each one holds up well, with the latter of the trilogy feeling just as sharp as it did back in 2012. Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is everything I wanted it to be.
One thing that became clear whilst playing Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection was the clear evolution of the series. Ninja Gaiden Sigma was tough, and even facing the first proper boss, dexterity and concentration were pushed to the limit. It was ahead of the game when it released. It still plays well, but when comparing it to the other two games, it does show its age in some ways. Visually, it isn’t as sharp or as crisp. Even with 4K resolution, textures are weak. Gameplay is superb, though, and whilst it isn’t advanced as NGS2 or Razor’s Edge, it’s still easy to get into.
Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection gives new players a chance to experience three wonderfully crafted action games with solid 60fps and 4K resolution. The combat is great, and gets better as the series goes on. Whilst not all re-released games hold up on today’s consoles, Ninja Gaiden is an exception to that thinking. It’s fluid, fast, filled with blood and always fun to play, even at its hardest.
