Ninja Gaiden Black is so bad in 2025

This is absolute dogshit to play. Awful camera during combat, not very flexible in your moment (cancelling attacks), not a smooth roll out of the way option (if there is one). I’m sure whoever’s making NG 4 are smart enough to know the MUCH better and fluid movements of today. You should at the least be able to dodge and roll with a quick button press. You should be able to control the camera fluidly to know where the annoying enemies during a boss fight are at.

The game feels clunky af to play. I’m trying to fucking move out of the way and yet the camera traps me and the enemies corner me and kill me. Yea yea skill issue, the game is a horrid mess in 2025: that’s my take

In particular, I absolutely detest how long it takes for Ryu to move after finishing a combo. He freezes in place like he’s in a videogame rather than a realistic combat scenario
