Playing Reloaded feels like coming home while seeing everything fresh. The campaign still hits hard with cover mechanics and chainsaw action, and teaming up with a friend makes fights even better. Multiplayer is quick, smooth and cross-play keeps it easy to join friends. Visually, the game pops in 4K, and the sound design really sells each firefight.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a focused 2D action title from The Game Kitchen and Dotemu. Tight swordplay and the guillotine jump form the core of combat, while Kumori’s pact adds ranged moves and a screen-clearing Ragebound attack. Boss fights demand full use of your kit, and altars let Kumori run timed platform trials that test timing. Collectibles such as skulls and scarabs feed a talisman shop and a rank system that rewards replay. Pixel art and a rock-cinematic soundtrack back the action, and cutscenes are polished. With its solid run time, the game offers an exceptional mix of challenge and accessibility.
