playing the demo now and this game is freaking amazing. gorgeous to look at, great moves and so much fun. this is a true metrodvania in every sense of the word. play this demo and have fun!

I’m definitely going to fire up that demo. Thanks for the reminder, OB!

i think i like this one better, even slightly, than PoP: The Lost Crown.

I do like this a lot, but I wouldn’t go that far. That PoP game had tighter platforming controls. This is still excellent though! Too bad it’s coming out merely a week before Hollow Knight: Silksong.

tbh I haven't given Lost Crown enough of a shot, but this Shinobi is just so much fun and the art style is gorgeous.

Art style is great. Controls are too floaty. And the two bosses in the demo were too easy. Based on the little bit the demo offered, NG Ragebound is better IMO. That being said, NG has no metroidvania aspects. This game appears to be level based but does seem to have some exploration via new movement skills.

Won't buy it day 1 due to Silksong, but this is one I will definitely get to eventually.

IGN gave it an 8.
Metacritic has this at 87% currently.

I removed some posts to hopefully keep temperatures cooler. I would say it's ideal to link to an original source where possible (even though sometimes MS Edge/Bing heavily prioritizes MSN links, which I've found frustrating myself). Directing that sort of heat and profanity towards another user is not acceptable behavior. Further instances will result in a suspension or similar.

For any clarifications, questions, concerns, etc., please PM me directly.

More scores, if scores mean anything to you:

this was playable yesterday for some reason. I thought odd because it comes out today, i think. Either way, I had some good old fashioned ninja side scrolling fun so far with this one. plays like the demo...flawlessly.

For anyone interested in a physical edition, Limited Run is still taking orders (at least for a few more days) and supposedly shipping now. There's no movement on mine, but I only got my order in just a couple days ago.

I’ve encountered a bug that looks to be game breaking until it’s fixed.

if you’re starting neo city, read the link for detail.

man, that sucks! Hopefully Lizardcube can patch it sooner than later.

Played the demo over the weekend and man I thought this was amazing. Going to probably pick it up soon.

Booted this up last night to see if Sega fixed the bug which many people seem to have. Nope. My save is still stuck unless I completely restart the game, which I'm not doing.

I guess I'm the only one here who actually bought and played the game after the demo.

I played the demo, bought it and love it. Much better than Ninja Gaiden
