Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
Wall-running, insta-killing from the shadows, using your ninja tools....all of the mechanics work together to provide an immersive package.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
The combat and stealth work well and there are a lot of gory take-downs.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
It has very precise controls, a fast pace, a hardcore/permadeath mode, bosses, and high difficulty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are simple enough you could run this on just about anything, but there's a lot of detail in the character animations and environment.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
The plot is very pleasant; it does not really distract you from the most important component of the game - the weekdays of an ordinary avenger in a mask and with shurikens.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
8 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
I would recommend playing this game with your gamepad.
