Love it, Custom character going through DB History. But it has issues: you go back to base form in cutscenes, ssj1-ssj2 hair doesn't change, base form to ssj hair doesn't change when it actually could, story was a little bit better in the previous entry, etc. Mods enhance the experience.

RIP & TEAR
an incomplete version of Xenoverse 2 with a slightly better story
2013
decent gameplay. horrible story, characters, and dialogue. interesting setting (Limbo) and good level design, best platforming in the series. only 2 bosses were good: Bob Barbas and Vergin.
2009
4 stars because Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Black mod exists lmao
absolute peak. although i have nitpicks: the girl chapters are even more claustrophobic than ryu's chapters, and ryu doesn't even get a rematch with Marbus (instead you get a dragon fight like in the original game which... idk i just felt fighting Marbus in this game felt a lot better than in NG1)
2007
4-4.5 stars. had to give it the full 5 stars because of that last cutscene & end music. will do a bitter playthrough.
will definitely do a bitter playthrough. the gameplay is awesome and the OST is just pure perfection.
2012
decent story, nice variety of characters, characters have their own arcs in the story, etc. deserves a sequel. a true underrated gem

Masterpiece of a beat 'em up kung fu game.
2018
for the "weakest" entry in the series, the story and characters are good. combat sucks because you're limited to throw or dodge in chapters 1-4, quickstep restoration is essential otherwise your dodges won't do anything, and komaki moves are a necessity to make groupfights bearable. 1v1 bossfights are great imo, except for the joji fight because he doesn't have telegraphed moves. the IF7 Lau and last fight are horrible because the former is a 3v1 and the latter is rng because he can tigerdrop at any given time
2012
Masterpiece of a stealth game.
what makes this game unique and stand out from other titles is the drug trading system which, for some stupid reason, was not used again in subsequent GTA titles
i wish this game was finished. the story stopped making sense halfway through and the ending part was rushed imo. the first assassin mission in this game is iconic imo and one of the coolest assassinations in the series. unfortunately that's only 1 of 3 unique assassinations in the entire game. this game could've been good, but it fails to live up to its potential
best action rpg combat of all time. only to be topped by the sequel. unfortunately, the vision was not fully realized in this game. but it still has its merits because it pushed the gameplay of action rpgs forward
