New game+ should have been hard mode, wall jumping was a tad too clingy, there are no shurikens, another revenge story, where the fuck are my transformation jutsus.
Garbage ninja game, 0/10.
Though on a serious note, the rest of the game was quite good.
I liked how the visual representation of vision, light and sound worked.
Combat was rather rubbish (QTE stealth kills), but it doesn't really matter. The focus on the game is moreso on different approaches towards a situation and being as stealthy/intimidating as possible. Very satisfying to go through a pacifist run and abuse some of the games mechanics to solve some impossible seeming problems (hacking/destroying something that is surrounded by lasers with a guard in the room through the usage of a smoke screen).
I think there were only two points where I thought the game was kind of bullshit.
The first instance was the slow opening door with all the gasmask guards and dogs, the second I seem to be forgetting...though it might have been one of the bonus trials or sections with the high tech ninjas.

I'm wondering...
are you guys usually satisfied with your course of actions? I'm finding that - on my second playthrough (on Plus) - I'm restarting A LOT. Not because I'm being detected or shot at, but just because I want to do it most efficient and elegant. I want to smile
Reaching the door to the right with no weapons whatsoever? Satisfying indeed!

Made by Klei Entertainment; who made/are making Don't Starve, one of my favourite things ever.
One to watch, fellas, for sure.
(also they made Shank. I 'unno.)
