This game is something special. It took a minute, but once it finally clicked, it completely consumed me unlike anything I've played before. I usually don't replay games, but even after moving on to other games, the want for more sat in the back of my head nagging me for attention. So I went and got the platinum. Achieving the platinum genuinely feels like one of the high points in my gaming experience.

The combat is fluid and satisfying. The difficulty progression is sublime. By the end, you feel like a ninja effortlessly chaining together techniques to conquer your foes. My only complaint is the camera can go wonky in some of the arenas.

Long story short: PLAY THIS GAME!
