I have been on leave last week so no gaming in a bit. I will try ninja gaiden but not sure I will stick with it as it is most likely not my style. Let's see

@Balta666 it's mostly fast paced hack n slash action. Some gory finishing moves on enemies, and some bosses are more monster form than human form, but it's pretty fun. If you like Bayonetta, or games like Bayonetta, I think you'll enjoy this. I kept reading its a souls like game due to the difficulty, and while it is in fact hard at times, I'm progressing nicely as someone who's terrible at souls games. And it breaks up into 30-45 min chapters so you can always take a break.

@NintendoByNature that is the problem haha. Bayonetta is for me one of the worst things I have played in my life πŸ˜…

I have played 20 min or so last night and I have mixed feelings. I like the sword gameplay but the enemies are hiper aggressive (I almost died in the first fight...) and for the most part I have no clue what I should do to avoid it lol.
On the other hand I got to a bit of a rhythm and health so far has been plenty (still on level 1 though)

It may be a dumb question, but is this a game series where being hard is it's main feature?
I am sure I have read that this series is brutal

To my surprise I am getting into the groove and i am at the end of chapter 4 now. I definitely don't do a lot of combos and just stick with the basics (block a lot, spam light attacks until limb comes off and then heavy for easy kill with invincibility frames, special attack when overwhelmed) and only died twice if I remember correctly. On normal difficulty is also pretty generous with health pick ups. I may finish it before Avowed...

Yea its pretty easy to get into the groove. Loving it so far. I was a bit taken aback by the 180 flip they do in the game. One chapter you're fighting ninjas, the next you're fighting flying creatures. I'm now onto lycans, which terrify me lol. They aren't actually scary, just scary when they jump out of an alleyway and gang up on you. I turned it off last night with a chapter title that read lycanthropes castle. This should be pretty intense πŸ˜„

@Pacesalad I think it is great that you have taken up this inivative Ninja Gaiden seems as a great way to start the club with. Will see if I have time to play it once more

@NintendoByNature I am also starting that chapter now! Have to say that although they are "big and scary" I find them fairly easy do deal with as they are way less aggressive than the ninjas in the first few levels and maybe because I leveled up my sword to max early on they go down fast anyways.

@Balta666 I need to level up one weapon and stop changing up my play type. I've leveled up a few to level 2 so far

Balta666

@NintendoByNature yeah,I read some tips before starting and that was one of the key ones. Also I played a bit with a few but found that the sword works well to chop off limbs quickly anyways
