Ninja Gaiden Black: The Ultimate Pure Action Game
With Ninja Gaiden 4 unveiled at this week's Xbox Showcase and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black now streaming on Game Pass, IGN’s action gaming guru Mitchell Saltzman reflects on why, two decades later, Ninja Gaiden Black remains unmatched.
Ninja Gaiden Black, released two decades ago, is often heralded as a pinnacle of action gaming. Even today, its challenging difficulty, intricate combat mechanics, and gripping narrative continue to set it apart from its contemporaries. The game’s ability to push players to their limits while rewarding skillful execution has cemented its legacy. As Ninja Gaiden 4 arrives, fans are reminded of the timeless appeal of its predecessor.
For those who missed it the first time around, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black offers a fresh opportunity to experience this masterpiece. Available through Game Pass, it provides a seamless entry point for newcomers and veterans alike. Meanwhile, the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4 has reignited discussions about what made the original series so groundbreaking.
Mitchell Saltzman highlights how Ninja Gaiden Black’s influence echoes through modern games. Its innovative design choices and relentless pace continue to inspire developers today. While Ninja Gaiden 4 promises exciting new features, it serves as both a continuation and celebration of the franchise’s storied history.
