An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.

The series returns to high-speed action after a long absence: fast, aggressive combat built around a new protagonist rather than Ryu, with more forgiving systems than the notoriously brutal earlier entries. Fans of the older games are the ones who bounce off it — the moveset and structure read closer to Metal Gear Rising than to Ninja Gaiden II, and Ryu is barely playable for most of the run.

Released 7 years after Ghost of a Tale.
