Aragami Reviews
Aragami dürfte gerade Oldschool Tenchu Fans überzeugen können und liefert nette Gameplay Ergänzungen, die bisher eher nur in Spielen wie Dishonored zum Einsatz gekommen sind. Wer sich mit etwas simpler Gegner KI und technischen Problemen abfinden kann, wird hier auf jeden Fall seinen Spaß haben.

A thoroughly enjoyable stealth game that could potentially make a strong mark on the genre as a whole thanks to its fantastic level design.
The shadows are alive. Be the embodiment of vengeance. Beware the light.
Aragami is one beautiful masterpiece, combining the stealth gameplay from the likes of Tenchu and Dishonored with a gorgeous art style.
"Aragami was a great experience. It breathed life into its world, offered many ways to travel and battle, and will provide you with much replability. With only my recognition of a certain plot point and a handful of minor issues serving as cons, I can't praise this game enough. For stealth enthusiasts this is a must buy and I highly recommend it even for those who would normally like to shoot their way past everything. Lince Works has easily made it to my list of developers to watch out for and I can't wait to see what they'll do next."
Aragami‘s gameplay and story is polished simplicity at its finest.
Aragami might have its foibles, but this purist take on stealthy puzzlers is a shadowy delight in places. Despite the patchy execution, the great ideas on show here suggest that Lince Works are definitely a studio to watch for the future.
Aragami’s well designed levels and fast-paced stealth are a good core, but the game’s list of drawbacks hold it down. Fans of the stealth genre probably won’t regret the purchase, as the game is entertaining and offers rewards for both the pacifistic and merciless play styles as well as an ample amount of collectibles hidden throughout each stage, but players should come in expecting an average-at-best experience that may be marred by technical hiccups and annoying glitches.
Aragami is definitely recommended to anyone looking for a game that has a sense of style and stealth to it that are hard to come by these days.
An interesting puzzle game with powerful abilities, and good level design. Though those abilities are quite overpowered for the tasks required for the game and trivialize the experience.
Aragami upholds the expectations of the now-retro franchise from which it was inspired, but struggles to exceed them.
Aragami has a very promising core. Well-crafted visuals, fun gameplay, and interesting characters, but newcomer Lince Works falls short on aspects like performance, the inconsistency of artificial intelligence and controls, and a few design choices. The overall result, however, is a good stealth game that despite the problems is quite fun-filled in its 10-hour campaign. It's a good start for the Spanish studio and I hope they stay in the stealth genre for their second game, fixing the problems presented in Aragami

Aragami is a beautifully-crafted stealth experience that rewards patience and cunning. The shadow mechanics are an absolute blast, and they're backed up by excellent level design and great replayability.
All in all, Aragami is a neat indie stealth title. The plot is alright, the stealth mechanics and abilities are decent, and the levels are just fine (though more verticality would have been nice). It’s a game that’s beautiful in presentation, sans some stiff animation, has great sound design, and is perfect to fill a day off, with a total gameplay time clocking in around 15 or so hours (if you take your time, and don’t co-op it).
Aragami is still a decent game to play. It requires patience, scheming and strategy to get past the 10-12 hours of gameplay and its story. It has great potential for crafting a fine game, especially for the Tenchu fans.
The Last of Us took a boring idea and made everything about it sublime; Aragami takes a lot of good ideas and neglects to make any of them great. Even the story feels uninterested in itself: the cutscenes are mostly under 10 seconds, and the characters habitually preface expository statements with phrases like “By the way” and “In case you were wondering.”
So in overall, Aragami is a mixed game, struggling between its cons and its pros thus resulting a slightly well-made game which could easily entertain toy for hours with its dark world and become a worthy experience at the end. If you're missing the “spooky-stealth atmosphere” be sure to check out Aragami

"After finishing Aragami I will say I was satisfied with my experience. Despite the performance issues the game offers a great stealth experience and reminded me a lot of the old Tenchu games I loved. The game offers a lot in my opinion for the asking price giving you a lengthy campaign and encouraging you to play it over to get better scores or play with a friend in the online co-op. If you’re a fan of stealth games Aragami is one of the best ones you can buy right now."
'Aragami' is an ambitious stealth game that occasionally brushes shoulders with greatness. A poor frame rate and sub-par enemy AI really hampers the experience, but stalking from the shadows remains fun throughout. Hopefully some patches will make this fulfill more of its potential, but until then players will have to settle for a heavily flawed, yet entertaining experience.
