Opening Hour: Aragami 2 (Xbox Series X)
0I never played the first Aragami, but I've heard good things. I believe it was given away on games with gold sometime last year, but there are so many games and only so much time these days. I knew it was a stealth game, but I didn't realize how close it was to the old Tenchu games. I remember loving Tenchu 1 and 2 on PS1, and this definitely has that vibe. It's fairly forgiving on the stealth end but combat is pretty tough. It's a fair trade off, not an instant game over but it makes breaking stealth something you want to avoid. I can see the powers and equipment making things a lot more interesting as time goes on, and even the cosmetics are pretty nice. It seems like a great game, and one I might actually continue past the opening hour.
Aragami 2 is described on Steam as follows: "Aragami 2 is a third person stealth game where you play as an assassin with the power to control the shadows. Join the shadow clan and fight the invader armies to protect your people."
Gameplay was recorded on an Xbox Series X using an Elgato HD60S capture card.
Aragami 2 is available on: Steam, Windows Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass for Console, Game Pass for PC, PS4, and PS5.
