忍者龍劍傳

Jumping into a fight and having to parry a shotgun blast before slicing an enemy mid-air is a rush I haven't felt in any other game. The reflexes required for these newer weapon-wielding enemies keep every encounter tense and fresh. A solid adrenaline fix from start to finish.

The air combat feels incredibly satisfying once you master the timing of those aerial slashes. Having to dodge enemies with guns while managing your own sword attacks really keeps you on your toes.

Took me a few tries to get the timing down, but once I stopped mashing buttons, the sword combos feel incredible—especially when you slice enemies mid-air before they even land. The mix of modern weapons on some foes keeps you on your toes every fight.
