Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection

7.5/10

A competent collection of ports that does the bare minimum to bring the series to modern systems. The games themselves are still fantastic action classics but it’s a shame all versions couldn’t be included.

In this age when older games are being rebuilt or remastered, the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection does little more than combine three Ninja Gaiden titles and their DLC, making them conveniently available at a fair price. Is that enough?Read More

The games in the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection still hold up, but the remaster falters on bringing new quality of life features and fixing some of the trilogy's more glaring issues.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection succeeds at what it sets out to achieve with a collection, albeit it doesn't add anything exciting.

The original Ninja Gaiden (well, not the original original on the NES) released in 2004 for the first Xbox (not the Xbox One, though the series has made its way onto that console as well). Two console generations later (three if you are lucky enough to have, and play on, a PS5), a remaster of a port that was itself a pseudo-remaster has arrived for the PlayStation 4, alongside its two sequels/remasters/ports. Confused? Don’t be – all you need to know is that our Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection PS4 review is here to clear up if you should drop the money to buy this bundle of classic action game...

Despite the remasters changing nothing, and being based on the inferior versions of the original games, the innate quality of Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 shines through in this surprisingly enjoyable compilation.

A curation that equally frustrates as it impresses, the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is made for fans and newcomers who can overlook its obvious flaws to experience the remaining goodness in bits and pieces.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection retains the unique high speed action of these classic games of varying quality but does little to improve upon them beyond bringing them to modern platforms.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma, like its accompanying ports, doesn't touch the gameplay or mechanics at all. Of the three, Sigma's level design is the most effective. Areas are open enough to explore but not too much as to make each area feel empty or bland. The combat feels both impactful and inconsistent, with Ryu's speed and raw power providing an abundance of bloody swordplay while the damage output feels random and prevents any kind of consistent play style. This is certainly not helped by the camera, which is an issue for every game in the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, as they utilize the outdate...

Growing up, I loved the Ninja Gaiden games. The three games on the NES were some of the toughest challenges a young kid could face. When I learned that the series was getting rebooted on Xbox as a 3D action game, I was a bit curious. After playing the first…
