I like how bloody and gory it is. Ryu is also kinda cool in the way that he moves.
You defeat the enemies in too similar ways because every deviation from that gets punished or has a high chance of failure since the the NPCs kinda randomly block most moves the further you play. Making you create formulas of destruction for each NPC

I hear this game's controversial apparently but I remember enjoying it 7 years ago.
maybe i just suck at this game
Não é ruim mas senti que degringolou em relação ao 2, esperava mais, e o chefe final é o pior que eu já enfrentei
An absolute sadistic asshole of a game. Sure, the combat is a bit better than even Sigma 2's, but the enemies are overly tanky, the bosses are straight-up indefensible unfun bullshit, and the decision to remove items and tie healing to your Ki/Ninpo which takes forever to charge up was the worst fucking decision imaginable, because it makes the aforementioned shitty bosses take even longer! Actively unfun the majority of the time, only play if you're incredibly masochistic.
good closure to the trilogy.
probably the best combat-system out of the 3 games, the gore and sound-design are satisfying and the movement feel smoother than ever and I really like the new "Steel and Bone" counter mechanic.
unfortunely the game can get repetitive after a while, the levels don't offer as much in comparison to previous games and most of them is just an slog of fighting multiple enemies through each arena.
the boss-battles and enemy design are generally frustating and spongey even more so than the rest of the trilogy.
overall if you except an non-stop bloodshed Hack n' Slash Razor's Edge is probably the best the series can offer but don't expect much of it in other departments especially level variety and design choices.

The game design shits itself at the end.
Revision or no, this game is pretty balls. Where NGII tried to turn the series into God of War with its linearity and setpieces, this one tries to go full Uncharted with horrendous scripted events that even inundate combat, QTEs that function however they want to and new mechanics that seem cool but fall flat. Top it off with terrible performance (on Wii U) and the worst final boss I've ever seen and you have a genuinely bad game that's got its moments.
I fucking hate this game

gosto muito desse jogo, o personagem principal eh muito bonito. infelizmente, as secundárias sao um pouco feia; um outro problema eh que para matar a kanna eh necesario o rifre.... eh muito difícil de conseguilo
fiz um combo mad muito bacana no meu canal soh desse joguinho

Un desperdicio de tiempo como el primero, peor gameplay que la anterior entrega, mejor música, historia estupidísima y a reventar de bugs he tenido que hacer varios bosses de 2 a 5 veces
If you want to see a showcase of the game that actually makes it look fun, take a look at Iconoclasts' run of it. I think all the Ninja Gaidens are fine. I might give them a better examination later, but they don't really scratch any specific beat-'em-up itches I have.
the game that ruined a great series.
This review contains spoilers
I can't outright say that there's no fun to be had here, in fact I think in terms of in the moment combat it feels pretty nice. It's mainly everything surrounding it.
Bizarre gameplay implementations like new weapons that can be unlocked whenever, unskippable walking segments, QTE's that add nothing to the experience and are just there for needless spectacle, the "steel on bone" mechanic which (while flashy) never really justified its placement next to the far superior essence system which added another layer of depth to the gameplay.
In terms of environments this entry is also quite drab, there's no part of the art direction or environmental design that really popped, when I think back on the look of this game all that comes to mind is how generic everything was. It doesn't help that they reused a lot of the demonic enemies from the second game and have the other type of enemies you fight be "soldier men."
Judging by the story they obviously wanted to take the franchise into a far more introspective and serious direction. Before, Ryu killed demons without a second thought because it was his duty. Now it feels like an entirely new person has taken his place, one who is far more talkative and spends all of his free time lamenting on the killing he partakes in.
It's a very weak concept to hinge the entire narrative over, as not only does it ignore the character that Ryu was until this point it also does not come to ahead in any meaningful way whatsoever. The conclusion to his inner turmoil being another character stepping into frame and telling him "Eh, you're kinda good AND bad"
There is also a scene that was in the original that's been entirely cut from the Razor's Edge version. This being a moment that takes place early in the game of Ryu killing a soldier who had already thrown down his gun and was begging for his life. Pure shock value that means nothing and especially feels tone deaf when two minutes later you're comboing people into Swiss cheese.
Why harp on the story when talking about a character action game? Simple. Because there really isn't much else to talk about.
This is just the prior game but worse in every regard. It's a lose-lose scenario, this game comes out trying to do it's own thing and it gets ripped to shreds by fans. They re-release it with much more enemy variety and weapons and it comes off as a shallow retread that does nothing to improve on the two games that came before it and includes a plethora of pace killing gimmicks.
If pushed to ask if I'd recommend it...I have no clue. It would depend on how big of a fan you are of the series. There's nothing you really lose from playing this, but nothing to gain either.
Actually, I lie. With the knowledge that this was written by the man who wrote the story of Chrono Trigger, it is pretty entertaining.

This is a completely shit game

Fraco demais , os chefes são horríveis e saiu muito da atmosfera dos dois primeiros parece que foi feito por norte americanos
NG sin Itagaki sólo tiene a su favor todo lo que toma de NG2. Como NG3 fue criticado por ser muy fácil decidieron aumentar la dificultad haciendo que todos los enemigos fueran esponjas de daño que bloquean tus ataques perpetuamente (los alquimistas con escudos digitales son cáncer puro). Los bosses son tremenda mierda, sobre todo el último que es tan injusto que acepte la propuesta del juego de bajar la dificultad, ya sólo quería terminar esta cagada. Jódanse con su humanización de Ryu y QTEs.
Supera en todo a su versión original ( lo cuál no era muy difícil), pero la excesiva simpleza de su diseño sigue estando ahí

auugh
this game rocked. was fluid and fun. combat felt great. got a bit repetitive and the final boss was terrible though.
Even in this updated version of the game, it just feels so generic, the soul of the ninja gaiden series is just not present here and it really hurts the experience, it actually bored me into not playing it, it became a chore. It just feels like a very hollow attempt at trying to turn the series into a cinematic story game, like a god of war 2018 gone wrong and it doesnt work. Whoever in particular got Troy Baker to voice Ryu should be fired immediately, its soooo bad.
Me estressei mais nesse que no primeiro.
Diabo mesmo

Not as good as ng Black and ng 2 but still fun to play. especially in coop. servers are still open in 2023

This is such a bad Ninja Gaiden entry. Every good aspect like the gameplay and couple characters are from previous entries. Every new mechanic, level design, character, enemy design and writing is awful. This has good elements... That are from previous games. Reused assets and mechanics -the game. For that I'll give it half a star, and this isn't literally unplayable so don't want review bomb. This is bad time for fans of previous Ninja Gaidens. Played on PS5 as part of the collection.
