Ninja Gaiden 4 is a comeback. It’s fast, it’s furious, and it honours the legacy while turning up the tempo. Yakumo leads the charge with new mechanics, Ryu anchors it with familiar weight, traversal soars, combat slashes, bosses challenge. It isn’t flawless, repetition, some structuring echo past entries, and if you binge it you might feel the edges. But what it does best, it does with conviction. For fans of pure, no-nonsense action games, this hits hard. For those new to the series, it provides an accessible entry point without diluting the punch.
Keeper is a game about finding light in ruin. About learning to move again after everything has fallen apart. It’s intimate, strange, and quietly devastating, exactly the kind of game only Double Fine could make. It’s short, yes, but meaningful from the first frame to the last. And when it’s over, it lingers. The kind of game that doesn’t just end, it stays with you.
Time Stranger doesn’t reinvent Digimon, but it refines almost everything that makes it worth playing. The story finds its rhythm, the combat feels sharp, and the world finally looks like everything we ever wished for.
A comfort game, respectful and polished, just not remarkable.
