Everything in N++ kills you in a single hit, so you need to be careful and sneaky, leaping gracefully over hazards and knowing when to move and when to remain still. It’s a 2D platformer in which you must navigate a series of increasingly difficult levels, collecting gold to increase your time and making it to the goal without dying. While it’s much more simple than many other ninja games on PS4, N++ captures the essence of what it means to be a ninja. The third game isn’t particularly great, but the first two are well worth your time. Those who prefer strategy or stealth should apply elsewhere, but if you do like Ninja Gaiden, this collection remasters the three main numbered instalments of the series, so you should find plenty to occupy you within. If you love lightning-fast action games that place an emphasis on reflexes and skill, then you’re going to love these games, even though they can be brutally difficult.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection contains two absolutely excellent ninja games and one okay one.
