Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance ReviewPlatforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo SwitchIt’s been a long time since players last experienced the shuriken-slinging excitement of Sega’s classic Shinobi series – 2011’s Shinobi 3D on the 3DS, to be precise – and longer still since the glory days of Shinobi III on the Mega Drive. Musashi’s host of super-ninja skills see him double-jumping, air-dashing, and sword-slicing through waves of enemies as if the series never left. Each stage is carefully designed to put players’ platforming skills to the test, and the action-focused gameplay is meticulously crafted. Best of all though is ‘Shinobi Execution’, where weakened enemies can be tagged and then taken out en masse. Art Of Vengeance takes a notable departure from that history though in adopting more of a Metroidvania approach to its level design.
