“…it’s built around a fantastic and incredibly fun core that is unlike anything else out there and I hope to see more DLC, or even a sequel, in the future. It hooked me pretty badly – I just couldn’t get enough. I loved waiting for my moment to strike, then pulling off the perfect execution of teleports and takedowns, only to fade back into the shadows before anybody saw, or even fixing a mistake swiftly by taking out any alerted guards with precise ferocity.”
8/10

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Out of the Shadows
Ok, a warning beforehand: I am biased toward anything Turtles. It doesn’t matter if it’s a turd with a red bandana, I am bound to like it. With that out of the way, let’s get this review trucking.
Out of the Shadows is a freeflow combat beat ‘em up loosly adapted from the 2012 Nickelodeon reboot of the series. If you haven’t seen that yet, give it a shot. It captures much of the old magic in a more modern and sensible jacket than the 80s cartoon. The game however, wears a different coat. The Turtles all have a more realistic look; they look like genuine mutants. This is probably the most striking feature of the game, because it departs from the appearances we’s come be familliar with.

The Good:
Having all four brothers on-screen regardless of player number is major, providing much needed atmosphere that, for many TMNT games, was lacking if you were like me and didn’t have enough friends interested in going to the arcade.
The dialogue is great, and goes even further to bring the atmosphere together.
The animations for the turtles are super, and so are their individual fighting styles. I certainly believe RedFly when they say they are TMNT fans, as it’s evident in the care they took to make each turtle feel like an individual and contributing member of the group.

Ninjin: Clash of Carrots
This game is cool, but has its drawbacks.
Things I like about this game in no particular order:
-
General Jam (He’s so cute!)
-
Run #5 soundtrack is awesome;
-
Soundtrack in general is awesome and very fitting;
-
Moe Junior is Moest Adorable, I legit listen to his OST unironically;
-
Corgi Junior stole my heart the first time I saw him;
-
I like the references in the inventory. Still wish I knew where is “Gothic Sword” item from.
In general, this game is 1) made in a very loveable artsyle 2) has awesome soundtrack 3) has tons of humour, amiable, vibrant characters and quite fun storytelling in it, it’s obvious that the developers enjoyed themselves when working on this project.

Just a disclaimer before this review, I did receive this game for free on Steam, but I preordered it on another platform immediately after seeing the trailer, which happened weeks before receiving that free copy. That’s just how hyped I was for this game!
Ninjin is an amazing experience, not to mention an even better co-op experience! I played with a friend online for the entire game, and gearing up and strategizing for each mission together and checking out new items in the shop is very fun to do. The online was incredibly smooth too; I did a delay test, and the delay is the exact same as voice chat so… it’s as good as it gets.

The LEGO® NINJAGO® Movie Video Game
It’s time for training and we’re getting started-
It’s on, you know
And we wanna see you whip and shout it-
We rock,
You roll.
They say, go slow
And everything just stands so still
We say, go go!
We’re ready for the fight, we know the drill
Monday morning and we feel defeated,
Seems so long ago
Tuesday’s comin’ -
We just keep on beatin
‘Til we’re in our zone
They say, go slow
And everything just stands so still
We say, go go!
You’re gonna see us rip into it,
Just jump up kick back whip around and spin

Another Lego game, and another game based off of a movie. And this one is pretty good all things considered. I’ll be listing off various things about this game that I liked/ didn’t like, and the features that it does and doesn’t have, so chances are I’ll hopefully answer any questions one may have about this game before buying it. So let’s begin.
The story: If you’ve seen the movie, you’ve pretty much seen the game. It even uses clips from the movie in place of cutscenes, which works to some degree but I’ll touch on that later. As such, the main story follows that of the film, and while it does leave some things out, it also places a lot in. For instance, you get a lot more character with Jay when you play as him and Lloyd in the second act. And it makes the film just a little bit weaker in comparison, and I kinda like that, as I mentioned before, it gives him a bit more character. There are other scenes like that, but sadly not many.

Shadow Warrior 2
After 3 years since the remake of Shadow Warrior the developers released a second title that continues the story. Though it is not a large span of time, it is big enough to fix the problems of the original and improve its weak points to create a true full-fledged sequel. However, instead of this obvious option, the developers decided to totally change the games mechanics and gameplay, going away from classical single player shooter to some multiplayer-ish looter shooter aka progression for the sake of progression. Did they succeed? Well, sort of.

NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER
This review is purely based on my personal experience as a solo player.
Pros
-
You can build your customized ninja with 4 different roles.
-
Fun to play with friends or as first time.
-
Plenty variety of characters “Masters” with their signature moves included that your ninja can learn. Also their 2D art it’s pretty cool.
-
It’s fun to run over the walls and jump from them since your ninja will always use Chakra concentration automatically.
-
Some events from time to time and you get cool stuff.

To be fair, this game honestly has one of the best combat mechanics in any game I’ve ever played thus far, and I’d wanna see more games with similar mechanics to it. The game also features some neat character customization and give some cool rewards for events which are completely achievable for anyone. So with those said, the problems lie elsewhere.
1. There is a jarring amount of bugs - although you cannot expect a game to be completely bug-free, this game has jarring amount of it. Examples include but are not limited to a) Screen dimming after a cut scene b) Ability indicators would display cooldown when inflicted by certain skills despite being entirely unaffected and c) Severe latency issues with the host.

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM Revolution
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution is not as revolutionary as the title might suggest, but I think it’s the step in the right direction.
The disappointing thing is lack of canon story mode in the game. Instead, we have Ninja World Tournament, Mecha-Naruto Story and the Ninja Escapades. The Ninja World Tournament is just mode, in which you thrive for championship in a tournament consistin of 4-characters brawl. Initial ranks of the tournament are easy, but difficulty rises gradually. Also, you can roam the island (the bigger progress you made in the tournament, the more areas you can visit), doing challenges, missions and events. Even thought it has absolutely nothing to do with canon storyline, the mode is quite fun to play, some friendship events are hilarius.

This is one of those games I’m highly indifferent about. Looking back, I wouldn’t call this game a bad game at all, in fact I quite enjoyed it. The “story” is comprised of four short stories with some (easy) fights peppered in that expand the lore in the naruto world through the story of the Akatsuki, Itachi and Shisui, a unique story about the new character “Mecha Naruto”, along with a 10 minute movie about team Minato which I quite enjoyed. Overall, this will take maybe 2-3 hours to complete. Which is quite a bit less than I’d expect for a game with such a steep price tag. The replay value is unfortunately nonexistant unless you are looking for the two achievements given for achieving S ranking on the Itachi and Akatsuki mini story lines. However, if you didn’t already get these achievements on your first playthrough as these fights are quite easy, you will without a doubt get it on your second. There is also the “Ninja world tournament mode” which I enjoyed quite a bit. In this mode, you can select a character of your choosing (with the exception of all the young characters, which kinda sucks) and duke it out in a four-player brawl against NPCs. Unfortunately, there is no online mode for this. This is really awful since like the rest of the NPCs, they are quite easy to defeat, and offer no real challenge. I will admit by the S+ tournament I was sweating a bit at the intensity, but the difficulty is entirely due to major NPC buffs in the form of a constant “true awakening form” and not a more advanced AI. That being said, I still won it on my first go-around which really ruins the fun of the game. This will most likely take about 5-6 hours to complete (basing off my own time). And overall, you’ll get about 7-9 hours of gameplay out of the story if you play to completion. Such a small playtime leaves something of a bitter taste in my mouth considering the price tag of this game. However, if you’re seeing my play time, you’ll notice I have 100+ hours in this game as of writing this review. This is due to this games’ bread and butter, the online mode. However, unfortunately enough for the online mode, the online community has depleted in the two months since this game has come out. This has made finding someone to fight almost a chore and you really have to just open the game and cross your fingers that you’ll find someone. Speaking from personal experience, now that the game is about 2 months after launch, it is a very common occurence that you will find noone to battle.Near the games' launch, the online was solid and all you had to worry about was a tiny bit of lag since so many people were on the servers. However, even now that not so many people are using the servers, the lag is still existant if not worse. This is a huge no-no in my opinion for a 1v1 fighter to have any form of lag. Especially to the point of making the game near unplayable at points. This raises a secondary issue in the fact that even if you manage to find someone to play against, that person might have a laggy connection and make your game either near impossible to play, or make your game crash entirely. In total, this game was very fun. But now that the main focus of this game, the online, has fallen into an abyss, I would advise against purchasing this game. Still, for all the fun I had, I think this game is great. 8/10, buy it if you have a time machine or you love wasting money for a couple hours of fun.
