Poll: How Much Are You Enjoying Ninja Gaiden 4 On Xbox Game Pass?

Here before anyone voted😂😭

Tried this on gamepass at a friend’s house. Seems to be identical to the physical disc copy I already bought? I couldn’t notice any gamepass specific differences, but simply knowing I don’t own this version and that it can be removed at a moment’s notice (and that it requires an internet connection to stream or download) makes it the less enjoyable experience of the two.

I'm not enjoying it. I think it's bad. I give it a 5-6 at best.

It's just ok. Completed it last weekend.
Won't be doing NG+.

I gave it a 5. I’m a little shocked by how well it reviewed. It’s not necessarily a bad video game but it’s also definitely not good.

as a ninja gaiden fanatic its been superb. Best one since Ninja Gaiden 2 on the xbox 360 (The signma version of 2 is trash)

I think I was in the middle of both Rogue Prince of Persia and Silent Hill f when it dropped.

I beat the first chapter, but then went back to silent hill f (and got distracted by Ball Pit). Just beat silent hill f last week (one play through )…so just got back to NG4 yesterday. Am now on the 4th chapter and really enjoying.

I'm enjoying it, gave it a 7 so far.
It does what it promised i guess.
Though i had never played 2 . so recently i bought a 360 version of no'2 . I have started both games in Tandem.
Graphically i think number 2 is more of a feast for the eyes.

Colours pop and the gameplay has the edge .
Ninja 4 is a little to grey and muted colours detract from the enjoyment slightly .

But being as i like Platinum games overall i am enjoying 4.
Also recently bought Rangebound on Switch and yes its a classic Ninja Gaiden game. Which is a reminder of how hard core and simpler games where back in the day .

Keep the Faith
Keep Ninjering

8 out of 10, almost done with my 2nd playthrough. Love it! My personal favorite Platinum game since Bayonetta 2.

The combat is so incredibly good and there are a host of small quality of life things that fix complaints I've had since Ninja Gaiden 2. I also enjoyed the story for what it is.

I will always wish the series hadn't ditched the more involved level design and adventure gameplay of the first game, but this is still significantly more involved level design than DMC5, for example.

Great game and I'm hoping it's profitable for Koei Tecmo, Team Ninja, and Platinum Games.

I have no history with this franchise & I played maybe a couple of hours NG4. It wasn't bad though not really something I would ever buy but a servicable gamepass offering.

The problem it has is I have many many other games that I would rather play and are way more enjoyable to me. Put it this way if no other games were ever made from this point forward it would still be years before I even thought of trying to complete Ninja Gaiden 4.

As a fan of both Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden games, this is a marriage made in heaven for me. Really loving it!!!

The gameplay is fantastic. The series pedigree is there, so that is an excellent start. The combos have been simplified (and reduced?) when compared to NG2, but the battles are still fantastic. The graphics are a little underwhelming and the new guy's design pales in comparison to Ryu.

I gave NG4 a 9/10 as the game is hugely challenging and a ton of fun. I've been a fan of the series since the 80's and the OG Xbox revival was one of the greatest returns ever. I'm playing on Hard difficulty, and I dare any of you try Purgatory on "Hell" difficulty. After hours, I got to the third wave. LOL

@theduckofdeath The Purgatories can be so brutal.

Yeah enjoying it loads, if not for the Silent Hill kick i'm on at the moment, now managunz is behaving, i'd might have finished it but will do

I thought the maps, characters, and story were terrible. However, the action was fun.

I like it, reminds me of the solid third person games back on the older PlayStation years

I didn't vote, because I bought the game.
I only played the first 2 chapters so far, because I have huge issues with gaming free time. I liked it so far, but also was a bit shocked how hard it is. I'm used to Ninja Gaiden, but I felt this reached a new level.

@Nintendo4Sonic What level of difficulty are you playing it on? Hard mode? Because if you're struggling you can switch to Normal mode at any time during the game.

@Questionable_Duck should be normal difficulty. I think the controls are tight and still feels good to play. But these flying enemies can be a pain. I also tried a challenge which was insane, so I gave up.
I think it's pretty hard. But I also have the feeling, the game gives more healing items than NG1 and 2.

Game Pass could use more AAA and AA single-player day-one releases each month, with titles like South of Midnight, Doom: Dark Ages, Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden, and Clair Obscur. Xbox should also invest in blockbuster AAA games similar to Sony’s hits like The Last of Us, Spider-Man, and God of War. Consistently adding more single-player games day one would boost Game Pass’s value, justify the recent price increase, and keep current subscribers engaged.
