Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection

"Packed with plenty of hours of great gameplay, but a far cry from what it could have been, Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is both worth playing and worth being pretty mad about."

"The Ninja Gaiden franchise has been sorely missed."

"Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is a nice, chunky package full of satisfying and very difficult gameplay that the new generation of gamers ought to know. While the remaster brings 4K60 gameplay, it&s;s hard to deny that some corners were cut, …"

"Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection brings a trio of Ryu Hayabusa&s;s adventures to modern systems, and that in itself is worth celebrating. The quality of the individual games does vary a fair bit, though, with Sigma 2 the best of the …"
