Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows takes you back to how it all began. Be the four Turtles Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael in the fight to save New York City from mutants, the Foot and Shredder. With seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op, along with team combo moves and relentless combat, this is the game fans have been waiting for. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows is a downloadable game published by Activision and developed by Red Fly Studio. Out of the Shadows is a four-player online co-op brawler with a "skill-based combat system built around combo-driven action." Out of the Shadows is not based on the 2012 series, but exists in its own "hyper realistic 3D-style" world inspired by the show. It was released on August 28, 2013. for Xbox Live Arcade and Windows PCs (Steam platform). It was initially scheduled for September 24, 2013 on PlayStation Network, but exactly one week prior, it was heavily delayed, eventually releasing on April 15, 2014. The game was pulled from all digital stores in January 2017 as Activision chose not to renew the license.

So why l am not rating this higher? Well, the game also has a lot of jank. It can really break you out of the experience. I've had multiple times the game just breaks and you can't progress on one playthrough, for example.
The combat is a lot more solid but you have to get a good feel for doing things the way the game expects you do to not break the illusion. Combat works well when it works too. But there's a lot of room for things to go wrong or for jank to come into play.
I overlooked these faults when it came out. And while I wish no game being lost to time, you're probably not missing out on much for this entry.
IT'S NOTHING LIKE ARKHAM, EXCEPT MAYBE THE FACT YOU CAN FLY LIKE 5 FEET TO KICK SOME GUY IN THE FACE ACROSS FROM YOU - BUT OTHERWISE IT'S JUST A BORING GAME. I made up excuses to like this game but deep down I always knew it was biting off more than it could chew. But you know what? If this game came back to the Steam store (and it did, and I bought it, then they took it away, boohoo) I would probably replay it... again. The duality of being a TMNT fan. With nostalgia. It's not pretty. But if you aren't either a fan or nostalgic, just know that I wouldn't wish this game on my worst enemy.
