Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound , along with Ninja Gaiden 2 Black , are among some of the biggest surprises for me in 2025. And just like 2 Black, I’m happy to report that the latest game from DotEmu and The Game Kitchen is an excellent addition to the beloved franchise created by Koei Tecmo, feeling like a renaissance for the Ninja Gaiden property.
