Ninja Gaiden 2 Black was honestly such a fun game to go back to. The combat is still the biggest reason to play it. It’s fast, brutal, and incredibly satisfying once you get into the rhythm of dodging, countering, chaining combos and tearing through enemies. There’s so much depth to the weapons and combat that even after all these years, it still feels great. The visual upgrade is also really nice. The game looks much better now, especially with the lighting, environments and character models, while still keeping that classic Ninja Gaiden feeling. It feels like an old school action game brought back with a modern coat of paint without completely losing what made it special. Of course, it’s not perfect. The camera can still be a pain, especially when you're surrounded by enemies or fighting in tight areas. There are also moments where the difficulty feels more frustrating than challenging, and some of the bosses and encounters definitely show their age. I also have mixed feelings about some of the changes compared to the original Ninja Gaiden 2. Black combines elements from different versions of the game, and while most of the changes work, I still find myself missing certain things from the original. But honestly, when everything clicks, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is an absolute blast. It’s fast, violent, challenging and ridiculously satisfying. It has its rough edges, but that old school feel is also part of the charm. Definitely worth playing if you’re a fan of action games.
Human Blender 2: Black is the sequel to Human Blender and Human Blender: Black. You play as Ryu Hayabusa, the most heroic mass murderer to ever live. After a character named Sonia is ambushed by the Black Spider Clan while looking for Ryu, he comes to her rescue and then goes on a killing spree across the world, it just sort of gets worse after his hidden village is attacked and an ancient relic that keeps the Arch fiend locked away is stolen. That’s basically the story. Ninja Gaiden 2: Black is kind of a lie in marketing. Using the subtitle “Black” was a re-release thing for the original Ninja Gaiden back on the Xbox. It added stuff like third person camera controls, new modes, new difficulties, new weapons, and I can’t remember if it was in NG1 as well but you could unlock and play the original 2D Ninja Gaiden games in an arcade you can find later in the game. This is more like a graphical upgrade to Ninja Gaiden 2: Sigma, which was the PS3 release of the original game. This time they decided to move away from the stupid shadow dismemberment and just put the hyper gore back in. Which is cool because half the fun is turning every room you fight in red or green. You also get the extra chapters from Sigma where you play as Ayane, Rachel, and Momiji. Which is cool. Its a third person action game like Devil May Cry if Nero and Dante decided that they have a need for speed and just go jumping everywhere. Ryu has a nice assortment of moves, being able to run up and on the side of walls. You can do stuff like bounce off enemy heads, block and counter attacks, dodge, use dumb ninja magic. But the main draw is the sword play. I refuse to believe anyone would actually get into a confined space with Ryu willingly, this man is a psychopath. During combat, you have a (Very high) chance of removing limbs from an opponent, when their limb is gone you usually did enough damage to take them out completely with a finishing move. These are always NASTY, since Ryu tends to behead or bisect anyone he doesn’t like. Which is mostly everyone. Its a good time, its fast and action packed and those 8 hours it took me to finish the game didn’t feel like 8 hours. So what’s wrong? Well for one, this isn’t Ninja Gaiden 2, this is Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, if you’re looking for the original, borderline Dynasty Warriors level of enemy encounters game, then you’re not going to find it here. There was a lot of things that made the original NG2 a ball buster, if you really want to know the differences between the two, then you can find comparison videos online that will do a better job explaining it than I can. If this really was a definitive NG2 experience then I wonder why they didn’t add both versions of the game, let me have the Sigma and the “Dirk needs to stop living in real life” experience. Also, this game runs like doo doo paper. I don’t have the beefiest machine in the world but I feel like it should run fine at “Ps5” settings. Stutters and frame drops are common, I ended up finding a fan fix online that fixed most of the issues, so I don’t really understand what the developers were doing with the game’s optimization. Maybe they just didn’t care. I’m starting to suspect that’s the case with a lot of UE5 games. Which I feel like is a gamble considering Steam has refunds. I said in another review that the most common Desktop GPU is a 3000 series, so maybe focus on that as a benchmark. Especially now a days when you have to sell organs just to get computer parts. I couldn’t really get a bead on WHY exactly I was losing frames, It just seemed to have been from level to level. Sometimes I had a solid frame rate, other times it was erratic, I could never pin down exactly what the problem was. Also I feel like the extra missions exist for people that finished the game back on the 360. Late game bosses tend to show up in those so it just kind of confused me playing them. But other than that, yeah, NG2B is still a fun time, just maybe test the gameplay before you commit. You can usually get it for “Playstation Greatest Hits” prices, so wait for a sale or buy it from a different online store. Or, you know, the usual. Ninja Gaiden 2: Black gets 7 dismembered Ninja out of 10. The Dragon Sword is the coolest Katana in video games. That’s not a fun fact, I just didn’t have one for this review. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/7124597/] The Dirk Clan always gets wiped out but its just so we can avoid taxes.
I've beaten all three original Ninja Gaiden games on the NES AND all three 3D ones on the hardest difficluties on the XBOX360 back in the day. They were a gruelling and punishing delight that pushed my limits and forced me to git gud to really get the most out of these games. That said, there's a lot of contention around Ninja Gaiden II Black for having less enemies than the original X360 version and not being as hard. To a lot of...neurotic nerds who I refuse to call "fans" that seems to be a huge detriment, but ya know what? I'm a lot older now and don't have much time to play as many video games as I want like I used to, so I don't really care much for having to have the most difficult experience. I just want to have fun with this game now with better graphics and that's what NGIIB provides for me. I'm sure this review sounds defensive and I'll admit that it is because I've had one of said neurotic nerds tell me I wasn't getting the true and full experience. Fitting and not so ironic that it was a younger gentleman who gave me that sphiel especially considering I've been playing Ninja Gaiden before he was even born. So yeah no, I've already had that period of my life where it was all about conquering the most difficult video games for some invisible and intangible badge of honour. I don't need to keep proving myself to such neurotic nerds or myself that I'm "gud" at games. At the end of the day, I just want to have fun.
Pros: - Combat is fun, - graphics are good. - Minimal graphical issues. - Good soundtrack - Fun story - Fast paced combat (if you like that sort of thing) - 3 new missions - tag missions - Chapter select challenge mode (but see below) - They brought back the blood (but you can choose to disable it if you don't like blood) Cons: - Puzzles removed so the already linear game now feels even more linear. Can't even kick in doors, they open automatically. - If you want all achievements you need to beat the game a "minimum" of 8 times. - The achievement of each difficulty requires a play through on that difficulty. You can NOT unlock them all with just the highest difficulty - There is another achievment for getting master ninja rank on each chapter for all difficulties. So that's another 4 playthroughs ASSUMING you get master ninja the first time through on each chapter. 8/10. Still a really good game. Even if it doesn't live up to the original, it has a lot going for it and is far better than sigma.
