Ninja Blade is the embodiment of all that is wrong with Japanese developers at the moment. It's a game born from the ideology that cinematic prowess is interchangeable with player interactivity, as if somebody sat down with a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 and thought it would be a good idea to chop out all the game 'nonsense' so all that remained was a succession of boss fights and videos. Spruce this action up by adding endless QTE inputs to those videos and - blammo - that's Ninja Blade from start to finish.
Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.
Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.
I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?
FromSoftware is a game developer that has found popularity in the gaming industry thanks to their widely popular and best-selling series, Dark Souls. They may have gained notoriety from this series, but they have been around since 1986 with their first video game published in 1994 and have produced many popular games. Here are 5 games they have made that are not Dark Souls.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.
I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.
Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).
I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3
Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....

Play Heavy Rain and the walking dead series then see if that question is even worth asking.
Yes, yes they should. They've always been an excuse to escalate drama through lazy button prompts than any game design.
ouch!!!
jump in people,jump in :P
3.2/10? Well, that's better than the average 360 exclusive.
So they liked it? Why a 3.2? I wish they put more detail in their ups and downs section so we could see why they gave it a 3.2.
3.2/10 for one of our last 3rd party exclusives.
I'm going to go kill myself
