In a sea of retro revivals, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is uncommonly good. It pulls elements of classic Ninja Gaiden games – the precise platforming of the 2D era, and the lightning-fast combat of the 3D era – but it doesn't exactly feel like anything that's come before. The Game Kitchen, the Spanish studio behind the beloved Blasphemous games, has put its own spin on a classic series that absolutely proves Ninja Gaiden deserved to be revived – I've never been happier to be right.
