Some publications gave it top marks — GamesRadar+, Final Weapon, Vamers, DualShockers and AltChart. Xbox has released a short video highlighting the success of the new installment.
But not all reviewers share the enthusiasm. XDA editors rated the game only 6/10, noting a weak plot, repetitive challenges, and an overall feeling of a "budget project."
According to SteamDB statistics, over 11,000 people played Ninja Gaiden 4 simultaneously. According to PlayTracker, sales on Steam reached approximately 130,000 copies.
