Critic Reviews
- HIGH Fast, fluid and crunchy combat! LOW Some enemies are damage sponges that take too long to chew through. WTF Seori's wearing so many ropes I keep accidentally calling her Shibari.
· Dec 22, 2025 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Ninja Gaiden 4 is a return to form after the misstep of its third entry, comfortably sitting alongside Ninja Gaiden 2 as a fast-paced action romp that makes you feel like a master ninja.
· Oct 21, 2025 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|SRead full review - Ninja Gaiden 4 is a fantastic game that I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this much. The gameplay feels smooth and refined, and the overall loop is incredibly satisfying.
JD Base · Oct 21, 2025 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|SRead full review - The Dragon Clan makes a return to home consoles. Check out PSU's official Ninja Gaiden 4 PS5 Review to see how it played out!
Thea Severance · Oct 21, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - GREAT Ninja Gaiden 4 has its missteps, especially during the story and with Ryu's sections, but it's still a triumphant comeback for the franchise.
Ravi Sinha · Oct 21, 2025 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Xbox engineer a comeback for both Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta creators PlatinumGames, in this stylish new action sequel.
· Oct 21, 2025 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Ninja Gaiden 4 is a rock solid action game that delivers on what's most important — the combat. While some of the surrounding aspects are a little less successful, such as repeated environments and a forgettable story, the intense battles and myriad challenges are where the game shines, whether playing as Yakumo or Ryu. It doesn't hit every mark, but the simplistic structure, emphasis on technical combat, and even the cheesy performances combine for an action game that feels like it's from a bygone era, in the best way possible.
Stephen Tailby · Oct 20, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - There’s not much to do outside of slicing and dicing, but high-speed rail grind sequences and fast-paced grapple hook-focused parkour segments can be almost as fun as the combat. Although the often lengthy battles can wear out their welcome and need wider enemy variety, and the simple side quests and challenge rooms are uninspired, Ninja Gaiden 4 gives fans what they want: a pure, often arduous test of their ninja skills. This comeback finally washes away the bad taste left by the reviled Ninja Gaiden 3, and I hope to see Yakumo’s legend grow over a new series of stylish action adventures.
Marcus Stewart · Oct 20, 2025 Reviewed on Series X|S - Ninja Gaiden 4 takes the torch from the second game, runs with it, and impales the nearest hulking demon. This is a genre triumph that delivers slick, over-the-top action that rewards patience and mastery, and a blood power system that adds a combat layer that allows you to push yourself beyond your limits. A deadly delight, action doesn't get much better than this.
Oscar Taylor-Kent · Oct 20, 2025 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|SRead full review - Placed well among Team Ninja and PlatinumGames' best efforts, Ninja Gaiden 4 fully lives up to the hype and is a total blast.
